I will rely on your erudition to keep the correct side of good taste on this somewhat delicate subject matter.

Well, I wouldn’t knock it.

Dam lost my bet it got to 10….:D

Cream

Just goes to show you can sell Ice Cream to Eskimos, some women I know would need a bucket full of the stuff.:D

It’s got to be a hoax, otherwise I’d have started getting spam trying to sell it cheap!

Al, I doubt it re the Harley;)

I noticed the Company was based in MUMBAI, I just hope hope one doe’s not have to order it through one of their Call Centres, if so, the firm will go Bankrupt rather quickly, if my dealings have anything to do with Mumbai 😀 are the same.Probably get something like shaving creme, now that brings an interesting thought to mind:eek: NOT for myself, obviously!!.

I wonder if it would work on my Harley’s cylinders instead of a rebore?:eek:

Will they use the old Madonna song to advertise it?

Even more money for the legal eagles…….better build some more court rooms.

Hoping to avoid Moggy’s pencil……

I love the comment by the makers that it “fills a gap” in the market ……:D

I’ll get my coat…….

Based on my experience in the medicinal arena… I wonder how the clinical trials mentioned confirmed it restored the girls’ “self confidence”. Bit difficult to measure that on in a quantitative manner… and the (reported) marketing spin seems to vary between suggesting there is a mainly phsycological effect and a mainly physical effect (thought the two may well be linked).

Not sure how topically applied (i.e. applied externally to the muscle) gold dust would affect muscle tone, aloe vera does impart moisture and so helps “plump” external skin, though not sure it would work in quite the same way used internally.

As for the cultural background, my own limited experience is that India is definitely struggling to resolve its older traditional patriarchal values with the fact that women are starting to take on more empowered and empowering roles as they aspire to the western lifestyle.

Even among the better educated menfolk I often spotted a conflict of values – they (grudgingy?) respect educated/professional women, but often still treat less-educated women as “goods and chattels”. As the article says, no doubt the upwardly mobile professional, city dwellers, tend towards a modern “western” lifestyle, while the country dwellers are more traditional.

Will the product sell in India? – probably. Would it sell here in UK? …. who knows. Does anyone in the west care about the sexual history of their prospective partner to the extent that they would worry if they used such a product anymore?
