Recession taking its toll on Viagra sales?

Recently, my email accounts are showing a sudden influx of mails relating to online pharmacies selling Viagra. Even the mail servers which used to receive minimal to no mails from these online pharmacies have started receiving them on a very (annoyingly) regular basis. This made me think- what is making these 'spammers' launch a desperate attempt to sell this 'Wonder Drug'?

The reason, I believe, not very hard to find. Owing to the economic downturn in the recent times, people are slogging it out more than ever at their workplaces. Once at their home , they are so fagged out that they can think about doing little other than eat and sleep. Even sleep is a bitch as they worry about what surprise the new day is going to hit them right on their faces. Sex, has taken a back seat in these troubled times.

Given the lesser frequency of exercising their libido, and the lack of energy for doing even so, people find it difficult to accomodate the increased libido that this 'Wonder Drug' promises. Hence the decreased demand for it.
