The lengths that "Girlie Men" will go to for vanity.
ABC News Reports that the newest rage in Dance clubs is something that bodybuilders have been doing for years:
"New York bouncer, blogger and author Rob Fitzgerald has noticed a trend among many of the macho young men waiting outside his clubs. He says the guys are slathering up their torsos with the hemorrhoid cream Preparation H to make themselves look "ripped" for the ladies.
Fitzgerald asked one of these guys to describe the practice for his blog, Clublife, "The way you use it is to take your shirt off and rub it all over yourself before you go to the club," a man who gave the alias, Peter Minichiello, says. "If you want to get [lucky], you have to know how to dance, and if you want girls to dance with you, you have to look ripped". -(ABC)- Preparation H contains a medication called phenylephrine HCL that -- when used for the drug's intended purpose -- will shrink the swollen tissues of hemorrhoids. It works by constricting the nearby blood vessels that feed blood and fluid to the area".
(D.R.) The article goes on to say there are potential health risks, such as high blood pressure.
I would suggest that it may help with "Cranial-rectal insertion", otherwise known as having one's head up one's ass. Maybe if they just bathed in it it would shrink their swollen ego...
