Not worth the risk.

    “Master debater,” is an oldie but a goodie!
Low libido is said to be directly related to hormone levels. I don’t know why, but these days women are entering menopause at earlier ages than before.

    given to female monkeys and shrews who displayed more mating behaviour and ate less. Why would they need it? You'd think they'd give it to the ones who had the problem.

 Well, nothing happens as far as female attention. That's the problem, you see.

 Great. By the time I do get married, if ever, she'll be past that point entirely.

    Up to 40% of women are thought to experience a lack of sex drive at some point in their lives. I think it's the point that starts with "I do." 
 Then they don't.

 Sex outside of marriage is against my personal religious beliefs, but given how things have been going, I'm beginning to understand why so many do it. Not that I would, just that I get it now.
