Great news for guys with erectile dysfunction, especially those who get little to no benefit from Viagra. There is new hope on the horizon - rotten eggs. Seems a new study by Italian researchers have determined that hydrogen sulphide, the gas arising from rotten eggs, encourages arousal in men. Apparently minute amounts of this gas released by key nerve cells during arousal helps control and sustain an erection.
According to researcher Professor Cirino, of the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, this discovery should make it possible “…in future to develop drugs that either deliver hydrogen sulphide or that control the hydrogen sulphide production.” In other words, create a new Viagra.
Given that this gas is emitted by hot springs and spas around the world, will this mean that places with hot springs will become a drawcard for those with sexual dysfunction? I know one of at least one New Zealand city that hopes it might.
