One-stop shop

How can this fail to work? Scientists have developed a pill which reduces the appetite AND increases sex drive. Society's no. 1 and 2 obsessions encapsulated in pill form.

Well, it works on monkeys and shrews, anyway.
"When it was given to monkeys, they displayed mating behaviour such as tongue-flicking and eyebrow-raising to the males, while female shrews displayed their feelings via "rump presentation and tail wagging"."
Whether a monkey can actually turn a shrew on by wiggling eyebrows remains unknown, and speaking as an ape descendant, rodential rump presentation and tail wagging leaves me unmoved.

  1. To monkeys, tongue-flicks and eyebrow-waggles are mating behaviour; to me, they're tics. Each to their own, eh?
