I knew it. It isn’t just about Peter Parker being a sensitive, compassionate guy. It isn’t just about Spidey being a crime fighter with superpowers. It isn’t even about those cute, tight buns that got M.J. hooked. The spider venom may have rendered our hero the stamina to last longer in bed too.
A study conducted at an Israeli hospital, and involving the black widow and two other species, seeks to find the possibility of using venom to treat erectile dysfunction after finding out that patients bit by spiders are experiencing prolonged erections, too.
This should be interesting. Although not a novel idea, it could give Viagra, Cialis and the like, a run for the money, if the substance gets identified, subjected to pharmacologic testing, and verified to be relatively safer, if not as potent than current treatments.
A question remains, though. Will treated patients wield web slinging abilities, too?

Oh, another discovery in disguise! Hehehehe… I’m sure lots of impotent male specie would be interested ’bout this new finding! I guess we won’t be shocked if we see over -the-counter, sex drive drug “spider capsules” or “web-spawning tablets” (whatever). I think in this era, many would love venoms! Hehehehehe… mind thinking ’bout aphrosidiacs?

Ehrr, I’m going to assume that the men patients weren’t actually bitten on their… schlongs… because inflammation would account for increased… ehrr, size… You know that old saying, “size matters”. LOL.
