Modern medicine's marvelous. We have penicillin, protease inhibitors and a slew of other life saving tonics. But, of course, all drugs come with a price. You may get a stomach ache or your hair may fall out. You may suffer sleepless nights from Wellbutrin or drowsiness from Nyquil. Some drugs, such as the depression squashing Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, often have detrimental effects on the libido.

While this may put a damper on some people's lives, one Christian patient recent wrote to conservative blogger Jimmy Akin wondering if he could/should use his SSRIs to help curb his carnal appetite. Akin replies that such methods must only be taken when necessary. And, not surprisingly, the gays qualify as necessary:

In pathological cases (as with sex offenders or people with strong homosexual desires that are resistant to other treatments)... the use of medicine as part of temptation management would be legitimate...

If Akin wants to curb our sex lives, why not just make us all eunuchs. That would be far more efficient and wouldn't tarnish medicine's good name. He must have taken his crazy pills. Or his stupid pills. Or both...
