Eli's been getting all chemical and reading New Scientist, and comes up with this. Hey girl, you sure you want your boyfriend and viagra mentioned in the same sentence online? Oh what? I just did? Oops...Viagra: Good for your heart, sex life and your cellulite too
None of us likes cellulite and would resort to all kinds of ways to try and get rid of them. But how would you feel about rubbing “Viagra cream” on your thighs?
When boyfriend sent me this article from New Scientist, I immediately looked up the journal article to make sure that it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. The journal article was a bunch of goobledegook to me – science isn’t my best subject – but it was published in February, waaaay before April Fool’s so I am guessing that this isn’t a hoax.
A bunch of Croatian researchers are suggesting that moisturisers containing the drug sildenafil i.e. Viagra, might be able to get rid of cellulite.
The New Scientist article states that “enzyme inhibitors like sildenafil had been shown to break down fat in test tubes, so it might do the same to fat deposited under the skin. And since Viagra famously boosts blood flow, a moisturiser containing the drug might break down fat and then whisk it away.”
Before anyone gets all excited and starts crushing up Viagra pills to exfoliate their thighs, this is only a PROPOSAL and no proper research has been done on this yet. I am guessing that the researchers are hoping for funding from giant cosmetics companies before they start making miracle cellulite creams.
Is this a weird idea? Oh, yes. But considering how haemorrhoid cream is used for dark eye circles, anything goes in the wacky world of cosmetics.

I don't mind trying, but i wonder if males using this cream will get a "reaction"...? XD
Seems that they might. ;P Talk about a 3 in 1 cream!
