Is Peaches Geldof a Viagra fan?

She is known firstly as the wild-child daughter of the Boomtown Rats singer, and Live Aid organiser, Bob Geldof. More recently she has also become famous for her love of illegal drugs. But could Peaches Geldof become known as a fan of the impotence treatment Viagra?

It might sound unlikely, and yet this is exactly what evidence uncovered by reporters at The Sun this week seems to indicate.

Peaches and a friend were apparently sat in a pub writing down a 'shopping list' of the drugs they desired for that night, but left the scribbled note behind when they left. The scrawl, which was handed into a newspaper, listed a variety of drugs including Viagra.

Whether Peaches wanted the drug for a lover, or was seeking to experiment with it for recreational purposes is unclear. Some people do use the erectile dysfunction drug recreationally, despite this being dangerous and having few effects other than lifting the libido.

Doctors warn that only people who really need Viagra should take it. Reckless consumption of the drug, by people who don’t take its effects seriously, has been known to cause serious harm.

Recreational Viagra

Take the case of the Russian man who overdosed on the drug earlier this year, resulting in a fatal heart attack. Across the world in South America, reports surfaced earlier this year about an alarming culture of Argentinean youths relying on Viagra to boost their sex lives, despite not having any erection problems.

Psychologists warned that these young men may be insecure about their sexual performance, and that if they become too used to having sex with Viagra, they may become dissatisfied with ‘normal’ sex.

If Peaches is really taking Viagra for recreational reasons, then this will add to her father's woes. He is already said to be livid about her drug use. A spokesperson for Peaches would not comment to The Sun about whether the list was real or not.
