Let us spray

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...'

I wish I could think of funny stuff like that!

Don't bother with thinking. That's hard work.

Humblegunner often leaves his brain door wide open. Just waltz in and grab some ideas.

[Monkey Face]

Thanks! I'd probably forget them on my way out. I have blonde roots. ;o]

[null and void]

Hmmmmm, this could work...

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Just keep the chocolate coming...uh....do I have to go into your basement for it?

[null and void]

I thought you said you had blonde roots????

[Monkey Face]

I do. But the basement thing finally caught up with me. ;o]

[null and void]

Damm!

[null and void]

You TOLD! didn't you???

[Monkey Face]

*shrugs*

Does that mean it's all over between us? *sigh*

[null and void]

I hope not.

*looking frantically through tacklebox for better bait*

Uhhhh, do you like sushi?

[Monkey Face]

*gack*

Er... not unless it's cooked.

[null and void]

I guess I shouldn't have used the words 'sushi' and 'bait in the same post?

[Monkey Face]

It would be right up there with "worms" and "bait"...

[null and void]

You don't eat worms either I suppose?

[Monkey Face]

I have to draw the line SOMEwhere!

[null and void]

Not even worm candy?

FWIW The worm tastes better than the tequila candy...

[Monkey Face]

Yanno? That looks like something the cat drug in and couldn't eat.

[null and void]

OK. *sigh* I got nothin'

What could possibly beat chocolate?

"You TOLD! didn't you???"

Nope. Not me. I have it on good authority that it was Nic.
