The Great Balls of China

They are different. Take a wild guess at where the Chinese Viagra comes from.

Mao may have said don’t have more children, but he didn’t say no to sex. Without any ban on carnal instincts, the Chinese don’t simply pop a little blue pill. Their Viagra is extracted from endangered animals and birds, both dead and alive, many from our forests.

Consider these ‘traditional’ Chinese aphrodisiacs: tiger privates for $1,700 and tiger penis broth at $320 per cup, bear gallbladder, liver, bile and testicles turned into meds and swiftlet nests melted into soup.
Poaching is a woeful word to describe steel traps that clamp paws or the bullet that burns through a tiger’s body, all for an impotent Asian. Big cat rout has been relentless in our reserves, while our neighbours blow to cool tiger penis soup.

So too with bears. Over 10,000 Asian black bears have been captured and caged, with metal catheters stuck in their gallbladders to drain their bile till their agonising death. Suffering less pain on this scale called excruciating are deer. Their antlers are sawed off and sold at full price only if they are blood-embedded. Read sliced closest to the head.

Blowing the lid off the bird’s nest soup, Time magazine recently ran an exposé on a boom in the illegal swiftlet nest harvesting industry.

Found in Southeast Asian locales which are bereft of branches and twigs, the birds build nests by regurgitating saliva. The poachers swoop down to claim this healthy sex caviar of the east.

With insatiable demand from China’s prospering economy, illegal swiftlet condos worth over $200 million have popped up all across Malaysia and Thailand. For freak aphrodisiac seekers, here’s a freak being, an amalgam of all creatures who prop up the manhood.
