Is that a gun in your pocket or

did you just catch a whiff of past-their-freshness-date eggs?

A malodorous gas behind the smell of rotting eggs has been found to play a key role in giving men erections. ...

A study has shown that, prior to sexual intercourse, minute quantities of hydrogen sulphide are released within the key nerve cells of the penis which control the engorgement of the male organ with blood to stiffen it.

Scientists believe that the discovery could lead to the development of a new class of drugs to combat erectile dysfunction by affecting a different biochemical pathway to the one targeted by Viagra.

So, the smell of sulphur makes some men hawt. That goes a long way towards explaining the the .... ah, fervour that many priests and male preachers in fundamentalist religions exhibit when launching into rants about the torments of Hell.

No wonder I always have fond memories of those huge sulphur piles on the North Shore by the Lion's Gate bridge!

Is that a female hand in the upper left quadrant of that illustration? If so, that devil man is actually quite tiny.

Seriously? The water out here is very sulphurous, unless you have a super-deep well, like I do (insert dirty joke here). Most houses and even the store where I work, as soon as you walk in you can smell sulphur.

Heh.

I grew up on a farm with sulphur water on tap from the well. The whole place smelled like eggs all the time, to the point where I stopped noticing it.

I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters.

And have very fond memories of high school.

Giggedy.
