So I'm flipping through 'New Scientist' magazine and do a double take when I see the headline: 'Fart molecule could be next Viagra.' Leave to the Brits (who run New Scientist) to advertise a study this way.
Like Nitric Oxide (the molecule Viagra lets in), Hydrogen Sulfide (the active ingredient that makes farts smell bad) acts by relaxing the walls of the penis arteries, allowing more blood to flow in, thereby prompting an erection.
I have to agree with one of the New Scientist posters - Fart Molecule sounds like the name of a band...
