On intellectual property status: good question. Afraid I don't know anything about that yet. I'll investigate. Steve, the point: 1. entertainment 2. titillation 3. exploration of the ways that different societies imagine sexual lack and sexual prowess, and the ways that intersects with global markets. For more reading on the topic, Judith Farquhar and Everett Zhang have some great stuff on sexual dysfunction in China. Anyone know of any other anthropologists working on sexual dysfunction in other settings?

And I think you just single-handedly juiced our google rankings by like 1000%. i wonder, actually, if anyone has every compared the rhetoric around search engine optimization of websites and erectile enhancement medicine... but seriously... one question i have concerns the intellectual property status of these things... i don't know if sidaphenil is off-patent, but even if it isn't there are some interesting issue around claims of efficacy, and trade dress that I'd be curious to hear more about... if you know Cori Hayden's current work on "similares" in Mexico, there might be some really interesting comparative angle here... great stuff. omg. this is the best photo essay ever. ever.
