Rotting eggs' smell works like Viagra

[gmb45]

THE stink of rotten eggs has the same affect on men as Viagra, scientists have discovered.

The pongy gas hydrogen sulphide plays a part in human erections.

The gas is released when eggs rot ? and when people break wind. Researchers have found that tiny amounts of hydrogen sulphide are given off by nerve cells in a man?s penis to prepare it for intercourse.

It relaxes certain muscle cells, boosting blood flow and giving a better erection.

Now the bizarre finding could help doctors develop a more effective version of the impotency drug Viagra, which only works for two-thirds of men.

Scientists from the University of Naples in Italy studied eight men who underwent sex-change operations.

Research leader Professor Giuseppe Cirino said: ?We found that hydrogen sulphide is involved in human penile erection. That was proved in this study.? He added that the discovery would help treat erectile dysfunction in future.

He said: ?It should be possible to develop drugs that either deliver hydrogen sulphide or control its production.?

Viagra currently works in a different way, harnessing the power of nitric oxide.

You're OK then. that is the sunny side of the island. Wife and I spent a week in Porta, we would hvae been better going to Largs. dull and cold with rain at times. Made up for it the following week in gran Canaria.

Rotten Eggs? Does this mean we are turned on by ladies in shell suits?
