Watermelon Viagra?

posted on July 8, 2008 in News

Considering the question mark in the title, you can tell I am either a bit skeptical or a bit baffled by this story. Supposedly scientists are stating that eating watermelon can have the same effect as taking some viagra.

“The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body,” said Dr. Bhimu Patil, director of Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in College Station.

Why has no one told me this? I have always wanted to try viagra, just to see if I could get the 4 hour erection that would make me call my doctor and shout, “YEAH BITCH, 4 HOURS!!!!!”. Now all I have to do is eat a whole thing of watermelon, and boom, 4 hour long schlong right there son.

Basically what it boils down to is there is a nutrient in watermelon that causes your blood vessels to relax, which is what viagra is supposed to do. I don’t really understand how relaxed blood vessels have anything to do with my dingy going up in the wind, but these scientist guys have PHDs so I’ll take their word for it.

There is alot of this crap in the article if you want to read it:

Scientists know that when watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted to arginine through certain enzymes. Arginine is an amino acid that works wonders on the heart and circulation system and maintains a good immune system, Patil said.

I just prefer to make fun of the stuff I understand, like watermelons can get my wiener hard, for 4 hours.

I wonder if it has the same side effects as well?

  2. Thats funny cause I actually heard the other day that if you eat the rind of the watermelon, it has the same effects… But I was never going to say anything, then you went and wrote this. I do wonder if it works.
