We could write this with much innuendo and suggestion.
Instead, we simply want to share this story, widely reported on the 28th of January:
“BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina’s president recommended pork as an alternative to Viagra Wednesday, saying she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pork.
“I’ve just been told something I didn’t know; that eating pork improves your sex life … I’d say it’s a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra,” President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.
She said she recently ate pork and “things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true.”
Argentines are the world’s biggest per capita consumers of beef, but the government has sought to promote pork as an alternative in recent years due to rising steak prices and as a way to diversify the meat industry.
“Trying it doesn’t cost anything, so let’s give it a go,” Fernandez said in the televised speech.”
Well, duh!

Can I just say how incredibly difficult it is for me not to instantly crack filthy jokes about this? The restraint I’m having to muster is mind blowing.
That is awesome. =)

I agree with Allison, it’s tough to hold back. Gorgeous photo of smoked pork butt, by the way.
