Monday, June 28, 2004The drug, a synthetic hormone called PT-141, appears to work within the brain to fan the flames of sexual desire, says James Pfaus of Concordia University in Montreal, who began testing PT-141 on laboratory rats in 2001. ...Female rats injected with PT-141, which mimics a naturally occurring hormone in the body, increased solicitation behaviour around males, which includes hopping and darting, as well as running away, then coming back - a female rat's way of sending flirtatious "come-hither" messages, he said. "Think of solicitation as an indication that the animal wants sex - now," said Pfaus, whose study appears this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. What do you suppose the street value for this will be among pimps if it ever gets FDA approval? UPDATE: Proving that it's oh-so-easy to offend, comes this email: The fact that you choose to link increased female libido to prostitution -- not so subtly -- is quite revealing about your attitude toward sexuality. What my mind linked to prostitution was the word "solicitation" which is repeated throughout the description of the experiment. posted by Sydney on 6/28/2004 10:32:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
