NEWS: Sex Patch Makes Women Horny

ok seriously now: it's not a mind control patch. at regular intervals each day guys get a spike of testosterone... it doesn't make you insane. at least not unmanageably so. i sincerely doubt that a hormone patch could be used to make someone act against their will.

true, anything even remotely related to sex (or cleaning your garage) is going to be used by creeps towards their nefarious ends.

i just don't think a testosterone patch has the capability to achieve those ends. there's no incapacitation involved in a testosterone boost -- no dimming of one's faculties.

Well if the girls already have a strong libido and you get a shot of testosterone in the right setting...

I can bear witness to the fact that bodily needs can cause very irrational decisions.

I'm still having trouble seeing how that is. I mean, if you're horny, you just don't hump random people on the street. I can see it making someone more likely to sleep with someone they were already considering, but this hypothetical creepy guy probably isn't in that group to begin with.

Testosterone?

Horny women with moustaches on the prowl.

Testosterone stimulates the libido in both sexes. It is the universal doin' it hormone.

Shit, you just need to come up with bottled Lemonkid and corner the market on aphrodisiac snake oil.

So that's what the woman in the frat house was on.

Haha. Excellent.

the pill decreases sexual urges and this patch increases them. i wonder if it will be prescribed to those women who tell their doctors about their lack of sex drive after taking the pill

This argument is fine, but there are several case studies that go against it. Birth control pills use hormones to make your body think you're pregnant. Not normal, but perfectly within range of normal hormone levels. Used by millions. If this patch only raises your T level to something well within normal, it's probably not hurting much. I wouldn't overdo it, but it wouldn't surprise me if a woman's T level cycled monthly and changed slowly over her life. As long as this patch isn't changing things markedly I can't see how it's much different than the pill in concept.

Or for women on certain anti-depressants. I dated a girl who was on Celexa and Lexapro (not at the same time) and both of those seemed to kill her sex drive. Once she got off the Lexapro it was like....."Hey, if you stay in the shower with that massager much longer, we'll be out of hot water..." (kidding)

So then she'll feel better but still not want to have sex with me.

ah, Quebec.

I don't know if the world is ready for it. Pan-demon-ium.

"Sex Patch" sounds like a 2 Live Crew song.

Get on ya knees, bitch
and lemme see ya sex patch
I'll fertilize ya eggs
an' whip ya up a fresh batch

Please tell me this is the Neal Patrick Harris reference I think it is. You're my favorite person for the day.
