Billed as libido in an atomiser, PT-141 will finally offer women the chance to turn on their sexual desire as and when they need it. Or so the science says. But there are concerns. Will sex in a spray usher in an age of 'McNookie' - quick easy couplings low on emotional nutrition? Julian Dibbell reports
Horn of rhinoceros. Penis of tiger. Root of sea holly. Husk of the emerald-green blister beetle known as the Spanish fly. So colourful and exotic is the list of substances that have been claimed to heighten sexual appetite that it is hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment on first beholding the latest entry - a small, white plastic nasal inhaler containing an odourless, colourless synthetic chemical called PT-141. Plain as it is, however, there is one thing that distinguishes PT-141 from the 4,000 years' worth of recorded medicinal aphrodisiacs that precede it: this one actually works.
And it could reach the market in as little as three years. The full range of possible risks and side effects has yet to be determined, but already this much is known: a dose of PT-141 results, in most cases, in a stirring in the loins in as little as 15 minutes. Women, according to one set of results, feel 'genital warmth, tingling and throbbing', not to mention 'a strong desire to have sex'.
Among men who have been tested with the drug more extensively, the data set is richer: 'With PT-141, you feel good,' reported anonymous patient 007: 'not only sexually aroused, you feel younger and more energetic.' According to another patient, 'It helped the libido. So you have the urge and the desire...'

BBL, have to take the kids back to the eeeeeeeevil slime mom...
As I was leaving I took a bite. Ack! Horrible raw bitter liquid filled my mouth. They were spoiled!
I spit it out there in the parking lot. My dad asked me what I thought I was doing. I explained. He took the bag and examined my chocolate covered treasures and then told mom to take me on to the car.
He later returned with a bag of goodies and assured me that these were not "spoiled".
Much later I learned that the liquid inside the chocolate covered cherries in that shop was pure Cognac and that my dad had raked the shop owner over the coals for selling them to an unsuspecting seven year old.
So to this day I bite very carefully into chocolate covered cherries.
I can spot a dog a mile off. They're always doing tricks and showing off. And they always have this silly smile on their faces and their tongues keep hanging out.
I do. Just because I would go through the chocolate too fast.
Chocolate for me is much worse than potato chips.
I ate almost a whole package of chocolate-covered biscottis the other night....save one.
What is this "keep" you are talking about? I don't believe chocolate chips have ever survived more than a day or two at my house.
I "keep" mine in the freezer so I don't see them every time I open the cupboard door...:o]
Otherwise, they wouldn't survive the trip from the car to the house.
Dang. That's gross. I never had that problem with any candy, but I can promise if I did, I'd go after the person who sold it as "chocolate."
What I like best is the way they roll over and let me scratch their tummies...they are so shameless.
Rock-Paper-Scissors is dead I guess.
I've got that leg thing going just talking about it...
I'll bet you have...;o]
Got any chocolate left?
LOL! I wish I could think of funny stuff like that! Dang!
Enough...
For...?
...you...
...and...?
Not me. *sigh* too much sugar for my diabetes.
