Proposed bill in Ky. requires men to get wives' permission for ED medication

FRANFORT, Ky. — A Kentucky lawmaker has introduced a bill that would make it more difficult for men to get an erectile dysfunction prescription.

Rep. Mary Lou Marian, a democrat, introduced the bill, which would require a man to visit a doctor twice before getting a prescription. The man would also have to be married and provide a signed and dated letter of consent from his spouse.

The bill goes even further; it says that the man has to  “make a sworn statement with his hand on a bible that he will only use a prescription for a drug for erectile dysfunction when having sexual relations with his current spouse.”

The bill applies to all drugs and procedures to treat erectile dysfunction, like Viagara, Cialis, and Levitra.
