This was a very funny read to me, because my boyfriend Jacob’s boss recently received Viagra in the mail at the office. It is Jacob’s job to open all of the mail, sort it, file it, etc. so when the unmarked package arrived, he opened per usual. When he discovered the contents of the box (to his extreme dismay because he and his boss don’t have a great relationship) he tried to devise plans for resealing the box and pretending not to know what the contents were. Of course, this failed and his boss was furious when Jacob handed him the opened box of Viagra. His boss was SO furious, in fact, that mail is no longer one of Jacob’s regular daily duties. When I read this article, I laughed aloud and said “Maybe your boss was just trying to give you a gift like the Egyptians do!” This is a great idea for a research project. I will be conducting a similar cross-cultural medical project in the spring. Best of luck to you!

[...] writes a delightfully snarky post (”Rrawr” had me choking on muesli) about the use of erectile dysfunction drugs cross-culturally and also touches on the new ban on female circumcision in Egypt. Both are worth a [...]
