I read that Louis needed to have a circumcision in order to have children.

In that case, off with his head!!

Gadzooks, sirrah! Just the foreskin will suffice.

The "French Revolution" was an infestation from the cultural civil war thrust upon that nation by a wave of fanatical political correctness which undermined the efforts of the few more sober of public leaders interested in establishing there, a republic.

The violent "Social Democrats" did what they have always done, torn down what works among whatever has displeased them; kill, slaughter, maim ... the usual dehumanization.

True to form, they deny it; it was about "freedom!"

Bull.

It was about their passion for destruction, for constantly lowering the standards to their level.

The killers swept pass the birth of the Republic and dragged most of the civic centers directly into a massacre and darkness of dictatorship by committee: The Directorate.

"Louis, then 18, told him that he had tried several times to deflower his wife 'but was always stopped by painful sensations'."

Chemically castrated predator wants Viagra for marital sex

Saturday, August 3, 2002

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A chemically castrated sex predator who hopes to have sex with his wife has asked a judge for permission to begin taking Viagra.

Donald Henrickson's doctors support his request, saying it would be theraputic for him to form an appropriate sexual relationship. But the King County Prosecutor's Office and the state Department of Corrections oppose it, saying the drug could foster violent sexual urges.

Henrickson, 53, of Olalla in Kitsap County, has sex crime convictions dating back to 1973, including offenses in King and Pierce counties. He has confessed to molesting more than 30 girls.

After doing time in the state's sex predator program, he was released in 1999 under a slew of conditions -- including one that he receive monthly injections of Depo-Lupron, a drug that reduces testosterone production and inhibits sexual function.

Doctors have already tried reducing his dosage to help him have sex with his wife, but that didn't work. So now they propose letting her administer eight Viagra tablets a month, without taking him off the Depo-Lupron.

He would not be allowed to leave his house for 10 hours after taking a pill, and after a month or so of taking the pills he would have to submit to a polygraph test about his reaction to them.

His doctors include David Yanisch, a forensic services manager at the Special Commitment Center, and state psychiatrist Mark McClung.

But the request was a surprise to Steve Williams, spokesman for the Department of Social and Health Services, which runs the sex predator program.

"The (Special Commitment Center) will begin a review of the recommendation Monday morning," Williams told The News Tribune of Tacoma. "First thing."

McClung said he doesn't expect Viagra to increase Henrickson's deviant sexual urges, but simply to improve his ability to have an erection.

Prosecutors consulted Douglas E. Tucker, a psychiatrist from Berkeley, Calif., about the matter. Tucker told them in a letter that he wasn't aware of any medical literature on the safety of mixing Viagra with Depo-Lupron.

Furthermore, he noted Henrickson's history of failed treatment and dishonesty with the people who treat him.

"It would seem inappropriate to experiment on potentially risky treatment strategies with him," Tucker wrote.

King County Deputy Prosecutor David Hackett agreed.

"If you're going to experiment with two drugs that have opposite effects, it's not a good idea to do that on someone as dangerous as Mr. Henrickson," he said.

If the request is approved, the state would pay for the Viagra, which costs about $10 per pill.
