- On a related note...
- The "Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex" has a section (pg. 179
- onwards) on aphrodisiacs and pills/creams which will help male
- fertility/potency. The Kinsey Institute's response includes the
- following:
-
- To date, no one has yet discovereed a drug that ``cures'' any
- _one_ male sexual dysfunction for most men, let alone all the
- separate steps involved in healthy sexual functioning: desire,
- arousal, erection, orgasm, ejaculation, plus sperm production.
- The day someone discovers a drug that reliably cures even one of
- thes male dysfunctions for a majority of patients, not only will
- the inventor or drug company become fabulously wealthy (people
- already spend a fortune on bogus products), but every newspaper,
- radio program, television show, and magazine in the country will
- tell you about it and include information about the research
- that you or your physician can easily verify.

- I recently read a snippet in a newspaper which sound like an urban
- legend. It is possible to get penile implants which cause an erection at
- the press of a button. (The button controls fills/drains the penile
- implant from a resivoir.) According to the article, a man had such a
- device which was operated by a remote control (!) and got an erection
- anytime his neighbours operated their remote control garage doors.
