Viagra boosts impotence helpline

A HELPLINE set up to provide confidential advice to impotent men has been inundated with calls since Viagra brought the problem into the open.

In the first week of May alone the Impotence Association helpline received more than 3,000 calls - almost a quarter of the total for 1997. The wonderdrug is said to make a man in his 60s feel 18 again. The Impotence Association helpline is on 0181 767 7791.
