Frog juice, meh. Try spider venom!
This post was published 2 years 10 months 8 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Yesterday we discovered that some cultures believe that when properly prepared, frog juice can improve your sex life. Personally, I scoffed at the idea. Today, I’ve discovered that both Brazilian and US scientists believe that spider venom may be the cure for male impotence.
Their investigation follows reports that men bitten by the Phoneutria nigriventer experienced priapism – long and painful erections.
A two-year study has found that the venom contains a toxin, called Tx2-6, that causes erections.
Further tests are being carried out in the US before the substance can be approved for human use.
The results, from the Medical College of Georgia, are expected in a month’s time.
The bite of Phoneutria nigriventer, known as the Brazilian wandering spider, is potent and can be deadly in some cases.
The Brazilian and US researchers interviewed men who claimed their sex lives had improved after a spider attack.
The relevant toxin identified in the venom has been tested successfully on other animals.
Now let’s look at the order of events and the resulting outcome: 1) Get bit by spider, and 2) experience a long and painful erection. Do away with the painful and mix in a little bit of a hallucinogen and I think we’ve found an alternative for Viagra. On a related note, I hate spiders and will squash or vacuum any that cross my path. Anyone else?
I came out of my room the other night, and found several large spiders around my flat, that really freaked me out. I Cillit Bang’d them (Google if you haven’t heard of it).
Needless to say, it was difficult getting to sleep that night.
^ Haha. I Lysol them if a can is near me.
I scream an run in the other direction
Having mild arachnaphobia, I will get a long pole if they are above me. However, if they are below me, I know my shoes will be all the protection I need. Although, I’d feel better about having spiders around if daily garb consisted of a suit of armor and gauntlets.
