Warning to family: this may be more than you want to know. Read at your own peril.
My husband and I enjoy dining out occasionally. Sometimes we bring topic cards to augment the usual ones on work, kids, pets, money and household chores. Sometimes he boldly explores topics of his own. Recently, my husband came up with the interesting idea of a pill men could take to reduce their libido on command. He argued that in that way, there would be less sexual abuse and men could hold coherent conversations when they would otherwise be distracted by physical needs. At least I think this is what he meant–he wasn’t speaking very coherently. I personally see all kinds of problems with this theory. However, I pointed out that we do have medications available to us and, of course, there are permanent remedies (think eunuch), neither of which have much of a market. Otherwise, wouldn’t the pharmacuetical companies jump all over it? They didn’t waste time with the little blue pill. These are only highlights and by no means exhaustive of this debate. Dinner lasted at least an hour and this was the only topic. However, I clearly think he’s off his rocker or perhaps just slightly frustrated . . . . Sorry, honey. I won’t even dignify his proposed name for this pill in this publication. Needless to say, meals out are rarely boring, although I wonder what the neighboring diners must think.
