Men suffering from erectile dysfunction face a daunting challenge when it comes to budgeting for the ED drugs they’ll need to engage in sexual activity. Their spending for these medications depends entirely upon the projected frequency of sexual activity per week, month, and year. The frequency of sex varies widely based on the age and relationship of the couples involved.
Finding meaningful statistics on the frequency of sexual activity is a challenge in itself. For an article written for Huffington Post, Robert Weiss, a licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist, turned to data collected for the General Social Survey, a sociological survey that’s been around since 1972. GSS, based at the University of Chicago, collects statistics on virtually every aspect of American life and behavior, including sexual behavior.
Average for All Ages Is 58 Times a Year
Married couples of all ages have sex an average of 58 times a year, according to GSS data. That’s just a bit more than once a week. However, couples in their 20s have sex an average of 111 times a year, more than twice a week. That frequency is said to drop about 20 percent each decade, meaning that couples in their 30s have sex an average of 89 times a year, while couples in their 40s have sex about 71 times a year. We’ll leave it to you to determine how your sex life compares with these averages.
Erectile dysfunction drugs have been around since the late 1990s, beginning with the introduction of Viagra (sildenafil citrate) by Pfizer in 1998. Viagra has been followed to market by a handful of similar medications, including Levitra (vardenafil hydrochloride), Cialis (tadalafil), Staxyn (vardenafil), and Stendra (avanafil). As this is written, all these brand-name drugs continue to enjoy patent protection, which keeps their prices relatively high, although not prohibitively so.
Generics on the Horizon
In December of 2017, Viagra will face its first generic competition in the U.S. market when Teva Pharmaceuticals introduces the first generic formulation of the little blue pill. With the patents for Levitra and Cialis scheduled to expire in the next year or so, other generic ED drugs are sure to follow. Teva’s generic will undoubtedly be priced somewhat lower than comparable dosages of Viagra, and as more generics debut, downward price pressure will increase. All of which is very good news for consumers.
However, for now, if you need help to get and keep an erection, you will have no alternative but to select one of the brand-name ED drugs. To get the drugs at the corner pharmacy, you’ll need a prescription from your doctor. Alternatively, you can order the medications from a handful of reliable online suppliers, such as eDrugstore.com. To order online, you’ll still need a prescription. If you have one from your doctor, you can fax it or scan and email it along with your order, or in the case of eDrugstore you can get a complimentary consultation with a licensed U.S. physician who will authorize a prescription if he or she deems it appropriate.
Current ED Drug Prices
The current eDrugstore price for 10 Viagra tablets of 100 milligrams each is $637.05, which reflects the use of the 7 percent discount code provided online. Considering the extras, such as the free physician consult, discreet shipping, and a free pill-splitter, eDrugstore’s price compares favorably with those of CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, currently quoted at $616.99, $637.69, and $612.14, respectively. The recommended starting dose for Viagra is 50 milligrams, so 10 tablets of 100 milligrams yield 20 doses of 50 milligrams each when split. This brings eDrugstore’s price per 50-milligram dose to about $31.85. How far those 20 doses will carry you depends entirely upon your projected frequency of sexual activity.
Ten Levitra tablets of 20 milligrams each will set you back $592.88 (including the 7 percent discount) at eDrugstore. The recommended starting dose for Levitra is 10 milligrams, so your cost per dose works out to just under $30. The eDrugstore price for Levitra compares with $594.29 at Walgreens, $640.63 at Walmart, and $531.99 at CVS.
ED Drugs as Needed
Both Viagra and Levitra are designed to be taken as needed, usually 15 to 60 minutes before the beginning of sexual activity. Their duration of effectiveness ranges from four to six hours. If your frequency of sexual activity is in line with the General Social Survey’s average of 58 times a year for couples of all ages, your annual bill for ED drugs would run just shy of $1,800, assuming a price per dose of $31.
If you count yourself among the younger couples who engage in sex roughly 111 times a year, you’ll be paying just over $3,400 a year for your ED drugs, again assuming a price per dose of $31.
Daily Cialis
For men whose frequency of sex is very high, daily Cialis promises you can be ready whenever the moment is right. To ensure that state of readiness, you’ll need to take a 5-milligram Cialis tablet daily. For a 30-day supply, you’ll pay eDrugstore $383.63 (7 percent discount included). This compares with $361.99 at CVS, $369.86 at Walmart, and $375.79 at Walgreens. Once again, the eDrugstore price includes a free consultation — and prescription, if appropriate — with one of the drugstore’s licensed physicians as well as discreet shipping.
The annual cost for daily Cialis, the only daily ED drug currently on the market, will run about $4,500, but for this sum, you should be able to get and keep an erection whenever you need to.
Few Insurers Cover ED Drugs
Most health insurance plans with prescription drug coverage do not include the ED medications among the drugs for which they reimburse. The news for older Americans covered by Medicare is no better. Medicare’s Part D prescription drug coverage does not include Viagra or any of the other ED medications, even though older Americans are statistically more likely to suffer from ED than the general population.
Don’t Fall for ‘Bargain’ Prices
Generally speaking, looking for bargains is a sensible strategy, but it can be dangerous when it comes to shopping for prescription medications. Don’t fall victim to online advertising for so-called generic Viagra or Cialis. Although the prices for these “bargains” are super low, the drugs you’ll get for your money almost certainly will be counterfeits that either contain toxic filler materials or dangerously high levels of active ingredients.
