This One Just Writes Itself

Some famous people in Mexico are banding together to protect the endangered species of sea turtle. See, apparently in Mexico there is a rumor that eating (baby?!) turtle meat and eggs is an aphrodisiac and helps the boys swim (to use a metaphor). This is the second aphrodisiac story this week at CB and you said we didn't look out for you! Famous people include colorful former goalie Jorge Campos, some weird wrestler (above) and Argentinean model Dorismar.

The egg campaign was initiated two years ago, but made a big splash thanks to celeb spokesperson Dorismar. The model appeared in print ads wearing a slinky black bikini alongside baby turtles scurrying across a beach. "My man doesn't need sea turtle eggs, because he knows they don't make him more potent," reads the ad's caption. A common misconception is that sea turtle eggs have aphrodisiac power, but they are simply rich in protein, explains Aida Navarro, WiLDCOAST's wildlife conservation program manager.

So, the moral of the story is, don't eat turtle eggs and (baby?!) turtle meat, it's not an aphrodisiac, it's just really good for you.
