Billed as libido in an atomiser, PT-141 will finally offer women the chance to turn on their sexual desire as and when they need it. Or so the science says. But there are concerns. Will sex in a spray usher in an age of 'McNookie' - quick easy couplings low on emotional nutrition? Julian Dibbell reports
Horn of rhinoceros. Penis of tiger. Root of sea holly. Husk of the emerald-green blister beetle known as the Spanish fly. So colourful and exotic is the list of substances that have been claimed to heighten sexual appetite that it is hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment on first beholding the latest entry - a small, white plastic nasal inhaler containing an odourless, colourless synthetic chemical called PT-141.

ROFL
John Kennedy only did PT-109. This stuff must be really good!
So the romantic evening of the future will include a candlelight dinner, a bottle of wine.....and a nasal spray??!!!
Or, "Sorry dear, no I don't have a headache. My inhaler is empty".
LOL! Ever heard of speed...white crosses, black beauties...etc. How about meth? Oh....they mean legal...sorry.
"Honey, I'm out of f***ing yeast-infection cream again!!!"
I also will refrain from sophomoric humor, I only ask that someone post the URL as soon as it can be ordered.
Me too. Too much low hanging fruit.
So to speak...
It's practically a rape drug. Most assuredly it will be put into drinks unwillingly, or anything that girls might consume.
Apperently, it smells like a Visa Gold Card.
Ping!
Naaaaaaahhhhhhhh, that would never happen...
