I find your argument to be compelling. I stand corrected. I was mistaken.
I believe it was Plato. The Thebans took the advice and their “Sacred Bond” whooped on the Spartans. They in turn were whooped by the Macedonians who were whooped on by the Romans. Whole lotta gay ass whoopin’ going on in the ancient world.
We’ve come this far and no one has made a Tom Jones reference? Shame.
The Weekly World News broke the story long before this NewScientist outfit.
No faggot ever won a war by having sex for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb faggot have sex for his country.
All your gay sex bombs are belong to us!
See, I want to make a
“penis ensues” joke…
I resisted the temptation when I made my original post, but for the life of me I can’t remember why.
The hamsters may turn this into a double post, but this is one of the top five most brilliant things I’ve read on these here boards.
Col. Kilgore: We’ll come in low out of the rising sun. About a quarter mile out we’ll turn on the music.
Lance: Music?
Kilgore: Yeah, I use Barry White. It gets them all turned on.
There’s been a lot of funny dark and double-entendre humor in this thread, but there’s one point that I think got missed:
How in the holy fuck is this idiot “gay sex bomb” supposed to work? Last I looked, sexual orientation, or even sexual proclivity, was not something you could change by magical application of pheronomes or something – put a bunch of exclusively straight people in a room with this magical bomb, and they’ll get horny as hell, and not interested in each other. I guess it’s supposed to work on the “latent gayness inside everyone” theory? (Does that mean that all gay men and women also have latent straightness?)
Whoever came up with this one needs to have his head examined – by a competent proctologist!

Simple. Blow away our enemies.
“War is hell. But the gay sex can be nice.” - William T. Sherman, 1864
This is what I call thinking outside the box.
Seduction.
One of the problems of this as a morale booster, as opposed to a morale reducer, is that you don’t necessarily know that it’s happening to everyone else. I think the implications of that are at least theoretically interesting.
Said General Clay to General Gore,
“Must we fight this silly war?
To kill and die is such a bore.”
“I quite agree,” said General Gore.
Said General Gore to general Clay,
“We could have some gay sex today!
I suddenly feel like a good man lay.”
“A grand idea!” said General Clay.
Said General Clay to General Gore,
“We’ll screw until our dicks are sore!”
Said General Gore, “We’ll suck and play!”
“Let’s fuck right now!” said General Clay.

In my Broadway musical production, the water at the Defense Department is going to become contaminated too…
I think the idea is that, if a person is horny enough, he or she will have sex with the closest thing which best resembles his or her usual taste. This idea has spawned innumerable jokes, many of them about Scotsmen and sheep, or at least many of the ones I use to torture an old friend about his Scottish heritage. Since he writes military fiction for a living, I can’t wait to tell him about this one.
I’ve got to admit, this does sound like the plot of a good, bad, funny porno movie. Can anyone else picture what would happen if a horniness-inducing bomb was tested at a Dopefest?

Such an aphrodisiac was the basis of a horror story called The Age of Desire by Clive Barker. Anyone exposed to it would fuck the next living thing he/she came across, usually to death.
Hmmm… I can see the idea being proposed by some of the leading lights in the C.D.T., or perhaps by those five-eyed aliens who always speak in the infinitive…
How much time and money was actually wasted on this rape bomb? How far along was its development?
If we’re talking about something that just came up at a brainstorming sessions, then it’s worth a :rolleyes: and we move on. If they actually tried to make one. Well, that’s a different story.
Not that I have ever been hit with a sex bomb (well, there was this one girl once… but that’s another story) but I would think that if you have a large group of straight men, you would be more likely to see a bunch of magazines fly out and everyone crank one off…
and yeah, that might still acomplish some of the same goals of ‘shaming’ the enemy, but I don’t think straight + really horny leads to gay.
