If the coming Valentine’s Day strikes fear in your heart because you’re not sure if the little guy would be up to the gargantuan task it’s supposed to accomplish on that important day, chemist chain Alliance Boots is making Pfizer’s Viagra easily available as an over-the-counter drug beginning on Feb. 14 — but that’s only in the UK.

Men aged between 30 and 65 suffering from erectile dysfunction will be able to buy four Viagra pills for 50 pounds ($97) without having to get a prescription from a doctor first.

Instead, they will have a private consultation with a Boots pharmacist, when their medical history will be checked and measurements taken of their blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.

On a return visit patients will see a private doctor to ensure they are suitable for a further supply of pills.

“By creating a service that is easily accessible on the high street we hope that we help many more men seek help for a very common condition,” said Boots Director of Healthcare Alex Gourlay.

We sincerely believe many secretly applaud this valiant act of thoughtfulness from Boots. We’re sure that someday, these needy men will be able to look back and fondly ponder the fact of how a persistently erect penis harder than Kim Jong-il’s head can make all the fucking difference.
