Chemicals found in PVC flooring, plastic shower curtains, processed food and other trappings of modern life may be sapping women’s interest in sex. A study has linked low libido with the additives used to soften plastics which are found in every home. Women with the highest levels of phthalates in their bodies were more than twice as likely to say ‘not tonight dear’ as those with the lowest amounts.
Phthalates are man-made chemicals thought to interfere with the natural hormones that are crucial to overall health. They are found in everything from PVC flooring and shower curtains to car dashboards – and may also be in our food. Tiny particles can enter our systems either through breathing or eating. Previous studies have linked them to diabetes and asthma. They have also been blamed for feminising the brains of baby boys and last year the World Health Organisation warned they have ‘serious implications for health’.
In the first study of its kind, Dr Emily Barrett, of the University of Rochester School of Medicine in the US, measured levels of phthalates in the urine of 360 pregnant women in their 20s and 30s. She also asked them how often they lost interest in sex in the months leading up to their pregnancy. Those with the most phthalates in their bodies were two and a half times as likely to say they had frequently lacked interest...

this truly over sexualized world has done exactly the opposite thing...its made men have less testosterone and less sperm and less desire to marry and have children and its now made women less "into" it....
And all this time, I was thinking it was me!
And once that gold wedding ring slides onto their fingers, it instantly short-circuits a large ‘pleasure’ nerve running, by a circuitous route, from their brains to their spasm chasms.
Plastics. Hmmmmm. I don’t know what I’d do without my saltpeter chewing gum.
I meant, my saltwater taffies.
What a creepy, fascist—and most of all—SMUG little puke.
Dr. Strangelove is one of my favorite movies and I've had Ripper warning Mandrake about many things including WiFi, high-fructose corn syrup, birth control pill residue, dihydrogen monoxide and the absence of pork in halal foods.
Of course plastics are a bad idea. Think silk, satin, leather, soft cottons. ...
Me, too.

My ex had these really sexy plastic panties,,,,, but they were really tough to get off!
Well, yeah, but girls don’t really do anything for me.

Homesteading in remote Alaska and eating from the wild.
