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...'

Only one thing I know of...
Ahhhh, we're back to the spray aren't we?
Yah...Nic said whatever I do, don't let him take me into the briar patch. I heard her, plain as day.
The thing I was thinking of didn't have that many letters...
Candy is dandy, but
Sex won't rot your teeth?
Were you listening when I said that last week?
No ma'am. What else did I miss, hmmmmmmmmm?
Well, if you weren't listening, I guess you didn't miss much. *kof-kof* At least, nothing TOO important.
If you try this, you might forget about the chocolate!
There are actually only two things in the world that are better than chocolate, and one of them is dark chocolate.
Say...how much of that chocolate do you have left? I mean, we didn't use it ALL tonight, did we?
About 9 lbs, haven't touched it since the diabetes diagnosis. I need someone to save me from myself...
Anything that goes into my mouth better not be spicy...;o]
I suppose Thai food is out.
Yer not giving me much to work with here...
Don't we all? I've found most "battles" are easier if we have someone by our side. Or ON our side.
I've been hypoglycemic since I was a kid, and oddly enough, if diabetics ate like a hypoglycemic, they would be able to get control of the disease a little easier.
I'll be over in 15 minutes to get my share of the chocolate...;o]
Hey! You've been checking up on me! (I'd better check my hit counter to see how many times you've peeked at my page...)
I'm a carnivore. Plain and simple. I like red meat, and I like the rest of the food I eat to be tasty without being ostentatious. And I'm a good cook, so I'm critical of other peoples' cooking.
Does that help you out?
I'll leave the light on for you...
Good...I hate fumbling in the dark...;o]
Two pings are mine.
Carnivore? This is starting to work...
