Uncle Ben,

It seems African solution to impotency had been in practice for years. This
morning's Network Africa on BBC (10/16)  had a report from Senegal advicing
our brothers  "in trouble" to seek help from traditional sources than going
for viagra which is to be legalised in the country soon.  According to a
Senegalese lady on the program, spices like pepper and  ginger,  and salt is
an excellent aphrodisiac and it is known to most people and does not pose
any side effects. There was a traditionalist who would not divulge the
secrets of his  aphrodisiac recipes but claims there are more potent
aphrodisiacs from natural sources.

Imaging falling asleep after chewing some hot pepper and ginger with some
salt to taste, it can never happen!!! you have to sweat the hot stuff out
before you can have your peace.

Cheers,  African aphrodisiacs in serious contention with viagra.

Have a nice weekend and eat more pepper.

Joe
