Sicily, too proud for Viagra?

According to a recent study by IMS Health, Sicily is at the bottom of Italy's list for consumption of Viagra, the male sexual enhancement drug.


Throughout their entire study, they paid specific attention to Sicily and it's consumption patterns, or lack there of.


IMS Health put together a list of the Italian cities where males used the most sexual enhancements with Rome coming in first, followed by Pistoia, Rimini, Florence and Pisa. Out of the other high profile cities, Milan came in fifteenth place and Sicily ranked eighteenth place.


The Agenzia Giornalistica Italia, (AGI) article concluded that Sicilian men seem to be too proud to use the drug. However, promotion for the drug against impotence is steadily increasing and has been since the first launch of Viagra in October of 1998.

Maybe the "problem" is that Italians just have much more sex. By the time they get older, they are naturally tired. Certainly their not going to stop engaging in sex, therefore Viagra comes in handy. As for the Sicilians, it's unlikly they'll stop having sex. Could it be possible that Sicily made someone an offer they couldn't refuse in order to rig the study and keep their "honor?" Ponder away...
