A teenage boy has revealed how a Viagra addiction he developed age 13 has ruined his childhood.The boy, now 15, tried the impotency drugs after being told by his friends he would be 'bad in bed' with his new girlfriend when he lost his virginity.
He soon got hooked and eventually began taking up to six pills a night at teenage sex parties, only owning up to his problem when he found he could get an erection anymore without Viagra.
His parents, of Lancashire, were unaware of his behaviour and believed he was out at friends' houses playing computer games – when he was actually stealing hundreds of pounds from them to fund his habit.
The boy, who began watching pornography on his smartphone aged 12, 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.' the teen said.
He is now undergoing therapy as doctors warn his case is not uncommon among young teenagers who are taking the drug 'recreationally' and becoming 'dependent' on underage sex.
The boy revealed he was put onto the drug in summer 2014 after making older friends who teased him about wanting to have sex with his girlfriend, and claimed 'a third' of children his age had tried it.
He added he 'wanted to be like' the men in pornography clips he watched and so took a pill when he was given it by his friends, without telling his girlfriend.
After having sex, he told her about the Viagra and said she welcomed it and asked him where he could get more.
But when returning to his friends he was quoted a price of £4.50 per pill, prompting him to steal cash from his parents.
He said he felt 'disgusted by himself' because he felt he had 'no choice' not to take the drug.
The teen revealed the full extent of his actions to his parents last November after becoming concerned about the effects of the drug.
He was subsequently diagnosed with compulsive sexual behaviour and is now in bi-weekly psychotherapy sessions in Blackpool, stating he will regret the addiction 'more and more' as he grows older.
Viagra was originally developed to help angina sufferers, and patients found it boosted their sex lives. It is still top of the pile in the number of prescriptions issued to patients.
