...subjects were reluctant to return their leftover pills. The medication works by suppressing the effect of the naturally occurring enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which causes an erection to subside after orgasm by breaking down the body chemical known as cyclic GMP. It is cyclic GMP that initiates the muscular and vascular changes that lead to an erection in the first place. While PDE5 is always present in the penis, cyclic GMP is produced only during arousal. The catch in impotent men is that they may not produce enough cyclic GMP to temporarily "win out" over the PDE5. Thus...
Maya Angelou has written that "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived / But, if faced with courage, need not be lived again." In terms of pure, unflinching courage, the Founding Fathers' "Liberty and Union Now and Forever" could not hold a candle to the muscular, subversive shock of one woman's "They shoot the white girl first."

Indeed, Ernetta states that in his own practice he refuses to massage a woman's chest, since the so-called "medical necessity" of such a massage is a bit sketchy...
Even White House soldiers trained by years of muscular damage control staggered last Wednesday when they picked up their morning papers. The first few hours were horrible, easily the worst day in a presidency with more than its share of bad days. Within the hour they faced a parade of hyperventilating talk-show hosts clutching the Constitution and handicapping the prospect of impeachment proceedings; of psychologists explaining how to tell children that the President might be a liar and a serial philanderer; of network anchors jetting back from Havana, where they had thought maybe the big story of the week...
