All of us know one too many glasses of [your alcohol of choice] will excite even the most sexually adverse—but did you know a few hours in the sun does the same trick, minus the hangover?

A recent Australian study says sunlight is a natural aphrodisiac, raising testosterone levels in men and boosting libido by as much as 69 percent. Apparently hormones vital to sex drive get an added boost from Vitamin D. Thus, a few extra hours absorbing the rays (with some SPF slathered on, no doubt) could give a lackluster sex drive a surge.

According to Asylum, an ex-con named Dawud Yaduallah is suing New York's penal system (heh) over failure to treat his 55-hour erection. Per the suit, the former guest of the state was told to ice down his groin by the prison's female nurse and was not admitted to a hospital for two days. This Priapism case was the gift that kept giving as it led to erectile dysfunction, painful sex (not in a Mellencamp kind of way) and the inability to climax (b-ing an l, if you will). While I would imagine that a female nurse (is … Read More

Pfizer—arguably the world's largest pharmaceutical company—is selflessly sacrificing their bottom line and focusing on your performance ratings.

It was announced today that Pfizer will offer free drugs (yes, even Viagra) to everyone who lost their jobs and health insurance since January 1st. Far away in the distance you can hear the whimpered cries of the guy who was laid off the last week of December. Yeah, total bummer. We feel for you.

Look out, Viagra! Your long stint of unrivaled success may come up against a new competitor in a few years. What's behind this new threat to the mighty blue pill? The malodorous (some may say nauseating) gas, hydrogen sulfide. That's the substance responsible for the stench of flatulence, rotten eggs and car exhaust, the unpleasant smell that makes us scrunch up our noses and 10-year-old boys curl over with laughter.

There is a boatload of people giving advice on the interweb these days. Some of them are doctors. Some of them are the offspring of advice royalty. Some of them are rascals that have seen a thing or two in this crazy world. And some of them phone it in from time to time. Every couple of weeks, I like to find advice that I'm not thrilled with and FIX IT! Slate's Dear Prudence (AKA Margo Tenenbaum Margo Howard) has come across a little problem regarding the lil blue pill. It turns out that a man … Read More
