UPDATE: Doesn't this call Ashcroft's anti-porn crusade into question? He's putting America's health at risk!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader "Mathgirl" emails:
In considering your post regarding sex and health, I have been wondering why politicians don't pick the low-hanging fruit in their campaigns. If I were John Kerry, I would cite this new study and say, "When I am President, I will not only end John Ashcroft's wasteful anti-porn crusade, I will use the freed-up funds to include Viagra in the new Medicare prescription drug benefit."
Since the senior citizen's lobby is the largest on Capitol Hill, this should be a surefire way to increase Kerry's poll numbers, no?
