Or caffeine. In pill form, they can be dangerous if you OD. If they were made illegal, you'd never know what they would be cut with, or what dosage you'd be taking.

Heh, you do realize tobacco has always been legal and its only just now we're finding out what its been cut with and in what dosages by the Tobacco Industry?



Legality is nice, regulation is much better.

Good point. However, I'd say that tobacco, while it will kill you, certainly takes quite a long time before it actually does at the least. You don't have to worry about, say, a heart attack every three packs or so.

How would society change if there was a synthetic aphrodisiac?

Science and Goverments will fail as nerds have something more important to do besides study and research.

yeah i have been wondering about this thread.
As if the world really needed any help in this area...

Neverfly, you mean you've never heard of the population implosion?

I have two parents, four grandparents and eight grandparents. So you see the population is winnowing away to nothing.

I think to determine if the population is imploding, you'd look the other way. In other words, it's not how many parents & grandparents you have, it's how many offspring they've created. Even if you are an only child, if your 4 grandparents created you and 37 cousins, it's not an implosion. Well, maybe just locally for your parents.

Earth population has increased by a billion people in ten years

BUT that has nothing to do with my point... which doesnt necessarily relate to the offspring as much as the obssession people and the media seem to suffer from with the ACT of creating such offspring and cramming it in my face in every newspaper, movie, grocery checkout line, book, internet website and writing in the sky.

Farmer, Jeez mon! I'm far from an only child. 2nd of 6. You guys don't have jokes in Wisconsin? Gimme your address, I'll mail you some.

D'oh! thanks Van Rijn, I'd left them off the shopping list

Uhhh.. I think the society will accept if there is an increase in sexual dysfunction for men .

Well if you are a person that has high appetite on sex (on MIND) and you have a dysfunction (physical defect), this is a good thing for those who have good intentions, especially when you like someone and can be if dont like a person.

I Don't see how its a "good" thing... If they have a high appetite- and use an Aphrodesiac?!?!
Besides, the potential user would most likely use it on OTHER people.

Like date rape etc.

It amazes me how people are so quick to turn to a "drug"...

That's some shopping list!

Personally I think the big change will come when we have animatronic women for such purposes.

To dwell on One side of the coin- and not pay attention to the other side- is MORE than just dishonorable...
It is destructive.

There is More to the picture to make it complete. For those who would try to fullfill themselves with a drug, or an animatronic device, they will only be alone and hurting.

A person must other refrain from becoming involved or accpet the complete picture.
That includes commitment, sacrifice, judgement calls, a lot of work and responsibilty.

In trying to have your cake and eat it too, you begin losing perspective of true value and reality. It affects your judgement on MANY levels- not just relationships.

If more people learned what really matters at a younger age- if more people practiced responsible living and healthy relationships- we would see a decrease in drug and alcohol abuse.

Nah. for those poor unfortunates, there's Smilin' Bob!
