No, it's not Kennedy's patrol boat, it's a new sex drug. The Observer reports on PT-141, a drug billed as a libido enhancer. But, as with all things biological, it isn't quite that simple:
....Architecturally it was a minor change, but what it did for the females was huge. It let them get away from the males whenever they chose to, and thereby made it entirely their choice whether to have sex. Paredes then observed the rats' behaviour in this altered setting. Here's what he found: the effects of giving a female rat greater personal control over her sex life are essentially the same as those of giving her PT-141. Autonomy, in other words, is as real an aphrodisiac as any substance known to science.
