What Is Even Going On?

Chris Rockway, Landon Conrad, and Reese Rideout are here to sell you boner pills.

It’s not exactly a secret–if it was, it won’t be after watching this commercial–that gay porn stars take pills and/or inject chemicals into their penises in order to “perform.” And what better way to advertise a product than with the people who really do use your product? Randy Blue’s Rockway and Rideout are perfectly cast, but it isn’t just a gay-for-pay thing. Falcon’s Conrad, who is a real life gay, also celebrates the use of enhancement pills, as do many gay performers. Sex on command is hard! The dicks aren’t.

But take the fact that these are gay porn stars out of the equation. You’re watching this ad for the first time and you don’t know anything about what gay porn stars do behind the scenes. How inherently bizarre is it to see young, fit men in their sexual prime acting as if not being able to maintain an erection is a perfectly normal thing that could–and should!–be cured by taking a pill? If you’re 25 years old and you need to take drugs to get your dick hard, something’s wrong.
