Scientists believe a spider could lead to a breakthrough in sexual health after finding a single bite can cause a four hour erection.
Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia believe the venom of the Brazilian wandering spider could lead to a new cure for erectile dysfunction. Dr Kenia Nunes, a physiologist at the college, said it works in a different way to Viagra, reports the Daily Mail, "This is good because we know that some patients don't respond to the conventional therapy. This could be an optional treatment for them," she said.
Her study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, involved experiments using hypertensive rats with severe erectile dysfunction. "The toxin was able to normalise the erectile dysfunction in these animals," said Dr Nunes.
However, further research is required. Other side-effects can include loss of muscle control, severe pain, difficulty breathing and death. Dr Nunes added: "The venom of the Phoneutria nigriventer spider is a very rich mixture of several molecules."These molecules are called toxins, and then we have various toxins in this venom with different activity."Because of this, when a human is bitten by this spider, we can observe many different symptoms including priapism, a condition in which the penis is continually erect."
Four hours, huh? Honey, got yer towel rack right here.
Um, where does he have to bite?
No self respecting spider would willingly bite a person there.
Bite me again baby.
There's a scene about 2/3 of the way through involving Dante's girlfriend, an old dead perv with a skin magazine sitting on the can, a broken light in said can, and the girlfriend's urgent need to use the can.
LOL
Charlie would bite the spider which would cause loss of muscle control, severe pain, difficulty breathing and death. For the spider.
Helloooo ladies!
Look, I was in the Oval Office one day and something bit me. Then this
chubby intern in a blue dress showed up. And the rest is history.
The post before this one got 2 replies, the one after this one got 1 reply. By the time of my post this thread will be over 75 I’ll bet. It was 63 as I started typing.
The negative aspect of this discovery is that it will put thousands if not millions of women named Alice who were taking care of this flaccid condition on the unemployment rolls. No more need for, “for erectile dysfunction see Alice”.
One thing they did not discuss was what happens when the venom wears off. As with a sting from bees for example, when the venom wears off does this cause an extreme case of itching? This could be very embarrassing for those in whom the venom is receding as they walk around in public violently scratching themselves, looking for all the world like perverts.
Just sayin’and athinkin’.
I am quite shocked this thread has lasted this long. hehe
Spiderman ping.
;)
“The itsy-bitsy spider went up your waterspout”
I think the problem Brits (and most of Europe) have is figuring out what to do AFTER they get an erection.
Well Charlie does hit on better looking sluts or shares his coke with them. Bill gets bit to often, and will hit on a mummy, as we remember.
Only if FORCED into a same sex marriage...
Now I remember! LoL
well yeah, but you're four years old and nursery school is no place for that anyway!!!!
These words he speaks are true. We're all humanary stew, if we don't pledge allegiance to...
