Viagra is popular in Samoa - good or bad? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Cherelle S Jackson

“God made man in his own image, he must reflect that image,” says a CCC pastor about the use of viagra pills.
He is talking about the pills which are medically known as ‘Caverta pills,’ they are used as “an oral therapy for erectile dysfunction,” and they are available in Samoa.
The blue pills which are usually subscribed to male patients over the age of 60 are sold for nine tala each and up in the local chemists.
Selling them for such a low price in comparison to overseas countries is a cause for concern as this makes it easier for people to buy the pills.
A local Chemist worker who did not wish to be named due to confidentiality agreements with her employer told Newsline that a minimum of 20 males come to them with subscriptions for Viagra every week and 70 % of them are foreigners.
An estimation of two males a week receives subscriptions for viagra at Tupua Tamasese Hospital as revealed by one Doctor.
This Doctor also served in Savaii for a while and he said, “I never subscribed viagra to anyone in Savaii as no one came to me for that reason.”
 He said there are side effects of the pill for people with heart problems and that this is what they check for before subscribing the pills to them.
The use of viagra by men in Samoa has prompted Newsline to seek the scientific, spiritual and a womans view on the matter.
Due to the sensitive nature of this topic those interviewed did not wish to be named.
Those interviewed included a Congregational Christian Church Pastor, a male Doctor from Tupua Tamasese hospital and a Samoan woman over the age of fifty.
The doctor was asked for the benefits of using viagra, he said, “it’s a good pill for those who need it,” he was referring to what the pill can do to a man who can no longer “conjure the full male potential.”
That view was strongly opposed by the pastor when he said: “I do not agree with the use of that (viagra pill),” he strengthened his point by adding, “man was given natural strength and there is nothing beyond that.”
The woman however said: “It is good for married couples who might still need it but bad if it is not needed.”
So what really are the views of these people to the overall idea of viagra as a pill to enhance a mans sexual performance.
The Pastor said: “God gave man a certain time span for everything, everything ends when it has reaches the extreme, when someone uses viagra they are pro-longing that time and that would lead him to chaos.”
Asked as to why this would lead a man to chaos he said, “because that time he added was not meant to be.”
He then said: “A person is a craving thing, it wants more and more, it is never satisfied.”
“Man was created by God in his best creation, having something better than that is wrong,” he said.
His last comment was a word of advice for men, “stay natural, there is nothing beyond the natural system.”
Judging from the words he used the Pastor strongly disagrees with the use of viagra as it goes against the moral values of a human being.
Why then do men use viagra, is it to please the woman or is it to give themselves a morale boost?
The doctor answered this question by saying, “men come to me and say they want to please their wives,” and there’s the answer but let us then look at the wives perspective from the business woman.
“The use of viagra for the benefit of us women is good and bad at the same time,” she said.
She then narrowed her answer by saying, “if it is to satisfy the wife then there is nothing wrong with that, but if taking viagra would make the man go out and search for greener pastures (other women) then that is really wrong.”
Only a few would know the true reasons for the use of viagra and those are the men who take the pills.
But is the use of viagra as the Pastor said, “reflecting the image of God?”

Viagra, well as Samoa really updated itself!!!!! I guess you will know soon enough if Viagra is for Samoa or not. But you know everyone will have their own opinion but for myself I would have to agree with the lady in the article, it the men that do have perscription for this medication take it because it is to satisfy their wives good on them, but hopefully not to look into other green pastures!!! The pastor also makes a good point, that God himself created us the male or female with limits on when we no longer need to satisfy ones need..... But the for me, no matter what, the decision is yours to make!!!! The only thing I would suggest is, must look more into what the pills are made of, you dont want to find out the other reason why people are getting them is for illegal drug use!!!!!

Afai e talitonu le faifeau lea i le malosi faanatura, ia ua tatau ona aua le toe alu i le falemai pe a fia manaomia se togafitiga pe a gasegase, ia aua foi ona toe inuina ni ana panadols ma panadine
E iai gasegase o le tino, mafaufau ma isi mau gasegase aemaise ai gasegase i mea tau feusuaiga. O le ala lea ua faataga ai e le Alii fomai faapitoa latou te fesoasoani i ia ituaiga vaivaiga. Afai loa e le talitonu iai sesi i togafitiga faafomai ma latou galuega o loo fai mo le soifua laulelei o le atunuu, ia ua tatau loa ona ia matuai lauga mai e tuu le inu fualaau ae ola fiafia ma faatalitali i le taimi e oo mai ai le oti.

Pau a le mea e leaga ai le viagra ole faaaoga faaletatau aemaise le faaaoga e aunoa ma se fautuaga mai fomai ma e faapitoa mo lea matata. Ioe, e a fomai ma e popoto faapitoa e suesue aoga o fualaau taitasi, ae a isi foi e faaleaga le galuega a nai ia tagata o loo fia fesoasoani iai latou o loo maua i ia gasegase faapitoa.
Ia manatua, o tagata uma e tutupu mai i lenei lalolagi, e le selau pasene atoa le soifua maloloina, e toatele i latou e maua i ia ituaiga gasegase. Afai e le mafai e sesi ona fai ni feusuaiga ona o ni vaivaiga i totoga faapea itutino sa, aisea tatou te le talia ai galuega faamama avega a fomai e ala i fualaau ia pei o le viagra?

written by Popo Uli, June 17, 2008
I know of this man whom died last year due to a pill given to him by one of his Amerikana sons. See, the wife died and it was only the old man and wife whom lived in Samoa, all the famiri were offisland. So when the kids came to the funeral of the mother , one brought viagra and gave to old man saying its good for the body. What the kid wants was for his dad to have feelings again and hopefully remarried so there is someone to take care of him. Unfortunately, after he took the pills, he had a cold and high fever. He ended up dying three days later. Ua ova le malosi o le fualaau na i lo le toeaina. Plus the pill was not perscribed. The moral of the story is: e manaia ae fai fuafua. Se koeaiga i malo kiaa ma uma aku ai lava...... juzuzzuuuu
Same story hea............:p

lol...i definitely agree with popo uli......i have a similar story like Popo Uli's story... see there was an old man who recently died and he was using viagra. Fortuantely i believed he died a happy man but with added sins.....i wouldnt go on details cuz its too graphic...smilies/tongue.gif..........nah jk but he did use the pills wisely and well his wife was still alive during the time he was using the pills but hey it wasn't his wife that he was turning to...oh well he turned to this lady who is kinda off in the mind..(since your curious )..smilies/cheesy.gif ..no disrespect but its what really happened... smilies/smiley.gif..........so the old man was using this pill given to him by the doctors at Samoa. I think he died from a stroke or something something like that. ia e matautia mea ua o'o ai toeaiina matutua nei vai tau...................may he rest in peace........soifua
