In the Cialis commercials I get the granite cliffs, the rushing waterfalls, the rigid banister, the sturdy redwoods, erect lamp posts, and the many, many, other hard columnar objects. They're not exactly subtle suggestions of virility. What I don't get is the double bathtub. What is it supposed to suggest? The getting antiseptic for a tryst? There's no fun in that. The ablutions after an hour (all right, half an hour) of passionate lovemaking? Nah, that's too neurotic. It must be something else. A popular expression like "I want to be in a tub next to you." No. There's no such saying. Do the two tubs represent breasts? testicles? Or is the answer what Freud supposedly said about a cigar, "Sometimes a tub is just a tub."
