Zebra, I think it would be useful if we could all further our education on Dr. Greco's astounding results if we could obtain answers to the following questions, information on which may have been deleted from his letter by the editors at The Lancet in adhering to space limitations: 1. what was the duration of the "buckling test"?, that is, for how long a period of time was the 1-kg weight suspended in order to see if it could "hold it up." 2. how much deflection was considered to be indicative of buckling, and how was this measured? 3. for what duration of time was the subject exposed to the "visual stimulation" and exactly what was the nature of such materials? 4. was any manual (or oral) stimulation used to augment the effect of the visual materials as is the practice among some subcultures in the U.S.? 5. just exactly what was the configuration of the experimental fixture by which the "penis weight" was suspended from the penis? (silk scarf?, twine?, nylon fishing line?--it could make a significant difference!). 6. most important of all. Who paid for his "research"? Cheers, David
