Mexico City is giving out free Viagra and other impotence drugs to men aged 70 and older.

Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said the city is implementing the plan because sexuality "has a lot to do with quality of life and our happiness." City Health Secretary Armando Ahued said the government will start handing out doses of one or two Viagra, Levitra or Cialis pills on December

They will be distributed at three centres that specialise in sexual health for the elderly. The men will receive medical examinations before receiving the pills.
