Was that as Good for You as it was for Me?

premejacThe weirdest item came up earlier on the evening prime time news on the channel, France 2. The subject? Ejaculation Précoce (Premature Ejaculation). Alrightee then. Apparently, this problem affects 20-30% of men but can be treated with a new drug (approval pending). So, guys – as you can see in the graphic from the study, if it takes you two minutes to get to your happy moment without meds, you’ll be able to stretch those heavenly 120 blissful seconds to three minutes and 20 seconds if you take Dapoxetine! Of course three minutes 20 seconds, while an improvement (of 80 seconds!), is still rather in the quickie category.

What is this about? Like, why are they airing this? It’s hard to read the mind of a country that embraces the consumption of calf heads, but here are a few thoughts: 1) A pharmaceutical company wants to compete with Viagra; 2) France wants women to be happier; 3) France is trying to work on the population issue. Make babies, people!! 4) They had nothing else as viable news. 5) It was an opportunity to rub it in; 6) France is informing guys who may not be aware of this but…TWO MINUTES IS NOT OK.

And here was me thinking that the French were obsessed by constipation… :)

I totally agree with you at 3 mn 20 is still definitely in the “quickie” category.

Well, it is about 65% or so longer…in time.

This has nothing to do with the topic, but as long as we’re on the subject of French men, does anyone know what’s happened to Francis Cabrel’s home page? Or is it just me?
