not with tablets or other aids,
but with natural products like vegetables and fruit?

Are you ‘asking for a friend’? 😁

Not your normal type of post infoman? I don’t think you’ll get many replies and your post could even be reported.

Easily Googled!

Not an unreasonable question.
A friend of mine, a doctor, specialises in sexual health. I think infoman's question comes under this specialisation. Sorry I can't offer advice.

Why might it be reported? I agree it’s a slightly odd question (and not infoman ‘s usual type of post) - but it’s not offensive?

From googling, looks like a balanced diet helps smile

I nearly choked when I read the bit about 🍌 fruits.

LadyGracie Fri 08-Sep-23 12:36:42

It would take more than fruit !

I think some good old fashioned romance would probably help.. dancing, laughter, wining and dining that sort of thing

Foxygloves Fri 08-Sep-23 13:08:37

What precisely did you have in mind for the fruit? grin

Bella23 Fri 08-Sep-23 13:17:26

I think if you asked the Rolling Stones who are our age they might suggest Mars bars. Bit messy when the chocolate melts.wink

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 08-Sep-23 13:32:00

Shouldn’t you have googled rather than asking us this question?

Another urban myth.

But I guess that could be said of most posts asking questions?
I don’t think infoman usually returns, having started a thread though?!

What that Mars bars work?

Grannybags Fri 08-Sep-23 13:57:36

Waste of a Mars bar if you ask me!

Redhead56 Fri 08-Sep-23 14:38:09

It would be worrying if the chocolate didn't melt unless rigamortise had set in.

Bella23 Fri 08-Sep-23 14:48:52

I agree Grannybags I would rather eat the Mars bars or the fruit and veg for that matter.

It would depend on where the rigamortise was. Wasn't that the question would fruit and veg help? The mind boggles on a hot afternoon.

I think some of the answers are more offensive than the original post. It is a question like any other, if the OK had asked about arthritis or the menopause nobody would have said it was offensive.

Georgesgran Fri 08-Sep-23 15:32:52

Maybe offensive was the wrong word? Not at all offensive to me but perhaps intrusive might have been a better choice.

It has, however, attracted ‘humerous’ replies, rather than factual. A bit like when posters ask about personal habits.

Georgesgran Fri 08-Sep-23 15:33:56

Humourous - sorry fat finger.

Rachel75 Fri 08-Sep-23 15:42:56

Predictable

infoman usually provides information rather than asks for it!!
