A teenage boy who became Britain’s youngest Viagra addict at 13 said his dependence on the drugs has ruined his childhood.

The boy, who started watching porn aged 12, got hooked on the pills and stole money from his parents to pay for them because ‘not taking Viagra wasn’t an option’.

He first took the pills when his friends warned him he would be ‘bad in bed’ when he lost his virginity with his new girlfriend.

Before long he was taking up to six pills a night at ‘teenage sex parties’, owning up to his problem when he realised he could not get an erection without Viagra.




Now 15, the boy, from Lancashire, told the Sunday Mirror: ‘I feel I have no childhood now. It is ruined.

‘Most people think Viagra’s for middle-aged men, but you can easily get it in schools now. Parents and kids really need to know what’s going on. I wish I had never tried it.’

Doctors have warned that many teenagers are taking the drug ‘recreationally’ and becoming ‘dependent’ on underage sex.

Steve Pope, who is treating him, told the newspaper: ‘Schoolboys think it’s just a bit of harmless fun. But the initial buzz from the chemical combined with the feeling of invincibility makes it hugely psychologically addictive.’

The boy said he ‘wanted to be like’ male porn stars, so took a pill before losing his virginity.

He had been urged to take it by older friends, but when he asked for more they said he would have to pay £4.50 per pill.

Since admitting his addiction, the teenager has been diagnosed with compulsive sexual behaviour and now attends psychotherapy sessions.

He said he will regret the addiction ‘more and more’ as he gets older.

Experts believe more teenagers are taking the drug, adding it does not have the same stigma as illegal drugs.
