I heard is is caused by one of the first signs of sexual arrousal when the oralfactory areas become receptive to sexual pheromones. This occurs in but a few of us as, we have evolved away to a large degree from chemical sexual stimulation. In other species it is more common. I have experienced it on rare occations. Am I an evolutional set-back, or is this fairly common. Has anyone experienced it? * * * Zymurgist ---

I guess this is rarer than I thought! I only recall one referance to it in my years of “man things” talk. When one puts the word “sex” in the title of post, one can be sure that most everyone will view it. So it appeas that I am throw-back! …Thanx for the lack of replys. It tells me that no one new what I was talking about…Gesundheit!!1 ---

Evil-actually, I blow farts constantly when getting aroused. My wife refers to it as “the engine starting up.” Nothing seems to help. Along the line of sexual arousal, every time I eat broccoli it seems like I can go for hours, and am horny as a rabbit. The natural version of viagra perhaps? ---
