TT: Wanna do it till we need glasses

TRINIDADIANS have been described as obsessed with sex and are being advised to desist from using drugs to boost sexual performance without a doctor's prescription.

The warning is from Dr Gerard Hutchinson, a senior lecturer in Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Mt Hope.

Hutchinson said anti-depressant drugs like Prozac and Anafranil were used in the treatment of mental disorders and to control mood and emotions, but were now widely used by Trinidadians for their "side-effect" -a delayed ejaculation.

"There is now an alternative market for these anti-depressants but too much of it could lead to a disruption in the heart beat, followed by cardiac arrest and death," Hutchinson warned.

He said, in general, Caribbean people were obsessed with sexual performance and would take anything to enhance performance.

Anybody looking at how Trinis dance could figure this out even though wining is not necessarily a sexual thing. TTians like to throw/pelt endless waist. This is the land where very young kids know how to wine; where some are obssessed with their wining bone; where a woman pelting the right kind of waist will make a grown man hold his head and bawl ... just before he runs up behind her to try to brave the fire by pelting some waist of his own; where if you can't wine, you can't give yourself over freely to the music; where there was actually a dance called the Dog, which was a simulation of canine-style sex; where peanuts is regarded as good thing for the back -- heh-heh.

Yah, mon! That's TT for your money. Tell us something we don't know.

Here's some TT remedies for boosting sexual performance: some pacro water, bois bandé, sea moss, banana (fig) punch. If you don't know what those are, head down to Tobago or go talk to Sparrow. If you're kinda busy, check this one out: 2 bottle of Guinness Extra-Stout. Add condensed and whole milk. Add a touch of cinnamon or Angostura's Bitters. Toss in an egg or two. Blend well. Chill well and have fun.

If you want to try out peanuts for the back, well, peanut butter, add condensed and whole milk. Add a touch of cinnamon or Angostura's Bitters. Blend very well. Chill well. For fig punch, substitute the peanut butter with ripe bananas, the riper the better. Omit the condensed milk, just use whole milk.

Okay, go have fun. Try not to chase yourself around the house.
