You know something... Net/Net my sex life is still better on a working Ad than off of one. (unfortunately a working AD seems beyond my luck at this point!)
I mean that while on them yes it takes longer, yes the dersire is decreased (from thinking about it every 15 seconds to every 15 hours.) But off of them I haven't any slightest desire to even seek it out. I'm content being alone and am totally inaccessible, which must be far worse for my sex life than the side effects of popping the pills.

There is a medication that the government gives you that numbs you from the waist down. There are people that go off the meds and form a counter-revolutionary sexual underground. Here are some links:

>Ooops,
It is the short story "Welcome To the Monkey House" that talks about this (not Harrison Bergeron). The "pills" were called "ethical birth control pills". Ethical birth control pills made people numb from the waist down. A "nothinghead" in the story was a person who refused to take his ethical birth-control pills three times a day. "The penalty for that was $10,000 and ten years in jail".
exerpt:
"So the World Government was making a two-pronged attack on overpoulation. One pronging was the encouragement of ethical suicide, which consisted of going to the nearest Suicide Parlor and asking a Hostess to kill you painlessly while you lay on a Barcalounger. The other pronging was compulsory ethical birth control."whew, glad that got cleared up.

I read it. Breakfast of Campions was my favorite, even though he probably wrote that one in a few hours....
