That is an urban legend. Indeed, the whole saltpeter as an anaphrodisiac is urban legend. See: http://www.snopes.co...ry/saltpetr.htm

As LadyKate has stated.. tis urban legend, although some truth can be extracted from it as I will explain in a minute. KNO3 is used in the cureing of various meats so if this had been true then most of the nation would be impotent. Iodene is likely to be the culprit that members of the military have experienced.
Now for my explanation... once KNO3 is mixed with S and C then it is more likely to act as a crude form of contraception rather than make a person impotant. Once most members of this forum have a batch of the above mentioned mixed up, passion is the last thing on there mind and spouses / partners etc are readily cast aside while our avid members start constructing some form of pyrotechnic device to let lose on the night sky's rather than snuggling up for a bit of passion

Speak for yourself?

Djinn, I?m really surprise at you. Seeing your full size family suggests that passion levels in your case grow with the size of?. Hmmm, The fireworks you let off at the shows. I thought only members without girlfriends could hide behind this KNO3 excuse?

Now, as I feel we most certainly beat this long? hmmm, subject to death - and it can only go down hill from here ? how about closing this thread?
