THE stink of rotten eggs has the same affect on men as Viagra, scientists have discovered.
The pongy gas hydrogen sulphide plays a part in human erections.
The gas is released when eggs rot — and when people break wind. Researchers have found that tiny amounts of hydrogen sulphide are given off by nerve cells in a man’s penis to prepare it for intercourse.
It relaxes certain muscle cells, boosting blood flow and giving a better erection.
Now the bizarre finding could help doctors develop a more effective version of the impotency drug Viagra, which only works for two-thirds of men.
