Sleepy Town in England Dubbed “Viagra Capital”

A quaint little town in England is known for a few historical sites, but that’s not what’s putting the town on the map this week. A recent study showed Coleshill has the highest number of men taking erectile dysfunction medications like Viagra.

Residents aren’t surprised

Coleshill, which has a population of 6,343 people, is requesting and consuming more Viagra than any other city in England.

Last year, 54.87 prescriptions per 1,000 men were issued an anti-impotency drug like Viagra.

The residents of this North Warwickshire town say they’re not bothered by the new nickname, saying it embraces the fun-natured town.

Resident Des Christie told the Daily Mail that the finding does not surprise him.

“There’s a lot of older people living here who are young at heart and energetic,” he said.

Al Gorman, a resident who admits to using Viagra, says, “I’m not surprised we have more users than anywhere else in the country, because we’re more fun.”

Martin Raybone, a 63-year-old insurance assessor, says “We’re a fun bunch in Coleshill and it seems most of us enjoy happy, healthy sex lives.” He added, “People have well-paid jobs and decent pensions, and we like to go out or stay in and have a good time.”

Reason behind the prescriptions

Why is it this town needs so much Viagra? Residents speculate the number of pubs might have something to do with it. Other than that, no one is quite sure why this town considers Viagra a must-have.
