Donkeys Improve Your Sex Life. Seriously.

Donkeys Improve Your Sex Life. Seriously.

Exporters in Northern Australia have been receiving a new and unusual request from customers in China. It seems there is an especially potent chemical found in donkey hide that can be used to increase libido in women as well as help ease the pain of menstrual cramps. This extract, Ejiao, is used to make a traditional Chinese medicine called Nu Bao.

"They're after a lot of donkey skins. As much as they can get their hands on,'' one of the potential exporters told an Aussie newspaper.

Initially the medicine makers purchased their donkeys from South America, but now they’re looking to diversify.

This leads us to wonder, how far would people go to have better sex? Would you be willing to look to Eastern medicine? Maybe drink questionable liquids?  [NT News]
