Full title:

Rare spectacled bear being 'driven to extinction' by penis bone poachers brewing 'magical sex potion'

Penis poaching of the spectacled bear could result in the species going extinct if demand grows for the special 'sex potion' that people make with its private parts. ..."

According to National Geographic, some people in South America claim the 'sex drink' can cure sexual performance problems if it contains just a scraping of a spectacled bear's penis bone.

Some people also believe that the beverage can give you the strength of a whole bear if you put the entire penis bone in the concoction.

The 'sex drink' is called Seven Roots and is said to be made of white rum, seven types of tree bark, honey, pollen, a snake's head, the huanarpo macho plant and a spectacled bear's penis bone.

Traditional healers sell this drink to customers in Peru.

Re: “I believe the male raccoon has a similar bone.”

Yes it does. Hunters used to make “Ivory toothpicks” out of them.

Hunters are weird people. Well, at least these hunters anyway.

Most male mammals have this bone, except for primates.
Even cats and dogs.

A raccoon’s is about 3 inches long, where a mink has one suitable and small enough for making earrings

When I was in Texas as a teenager, they called them “Texas toothpicks”.
A coon bone would be bleached and boiled and hung around the neck.
If sharpened (because it is dull and rounded) it made a handy toothpick.

Hippies would glue an alligator clip to one to make “road clips”.

Women would wear mink bones as earrings.
In all forms, they were quite popular back in the day.

***But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine***

I like an older version in which the final verse is, after breaking the bottle of Love Potion #9,...

“It may sound strange but I’m going back again, and get myself a bottle of Love Potion Number TEN!”

Thanks ETL. Superstitious nitwits regress to their norm.

This is why ignorant people can’t be trusted with endangered animals or nice things...

I’m a drug-free naturalist who only eats un-processed, organic food and uses herbal remedies-and there are 100’s of effective herbal remedies from China and parts of the Amazon that will help a guy rise to the occasion-any herbal vasodilator will do the deed-but if someone is going to consume something made of “white rum, seven types of tree bark, honey, pollen, a snake’s head, the huanarpo macho plant”-with or without the endangered bear’s penis bone-then they are a special kind of stupid anyway-the rum alone is a “phallacy”-any sensible person knows alcohol is not an aphrodisiac...

Spanish Fly was created for breeding cattle-it was never intended for humans, was highly toxic to them and was responsible for a few deaths-ranch kids like me were warned about that and other livestock potions by parents, since the stuff could always be gotten somewhere-smart girls never let their beer out of their sight...

“and was responsible for a few deaths”

I heard about a girl that met her demise on a floor shifter.

If the bears would only identify as female they wouldn’t have a penis bone

That is just an urban legend-like getting an STD from a toilet-no one where I’m from believed stories like that-the deaths we heard about were those of adventurous couples experimenting with the stuff...

I wish anyone who used this stupid potion would have his equipment drop off and fall to the floor, withered and blackened. Another one of the barbaric Chinese witch doctor concoctions.

Hmmm... first I ever knew bears had ‘em. Seals and walrus do, and they are called “Oosik.” They even make swizzlesticks, and souvenirs out of them. Good grief.
