HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Philadelphia Democrat in the Pennsylvania Senate says he's countering t

with a parallel proposal regarding erectile dysfunction treatment for men.

Sen.

said Tuesday he plans to introduce a bill that would require men getting treated for erectile dysfunction to have a prostate exam and cardiac stress test, as well as participate in sex therapy and watch a videotape on the side effects of medication.

Farnese says he's trying to show that the ultrasound bill is ridiculous.

He'd also require the man's partner to sign an affidavit attesting that he suffers from erectile dysfunction.

The ultrasound bill was put on hold by House Republican leaders after an uproar over a similar measure in Virginia.
