Illegal sex drug after-effects are on the rise in men


Singapore - The number of men suffering serious reactions to an illegal sex drug in Singapore are on the rise, data from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said on Saturday.

Six more males have developed dangerously low blood-sugar levels in the past two weeks after taking the sexual enhancement drug called Power 1 Walnut, believed to have been made in China, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 16 and suspected cases to 40.

The 56 men are between 20 and 90, some of whom are foreign workers, said the HSA, the national drug watchdog. One of the victims is in a coma and another suffered a stroke three weeks ago.

Symptoms include tremor, dizziness, drowsiness, weakness and confusion.

This is the most serious case of adverse reaction to an illegal sex drug in the city-state, HSA Chief Executive Officer John Lim told The Straits Times.

Tests revealed the presence of a prescription drug for diabetes in amounts that are five times higher than the dosage given to diabetics as well very low levels of sildenafil, which is sold as Viagra, the report said.

The HSA has warned against buying health products from dubious sources such as street peddlers, makeshift stalls and off the internet.

More than 75,000 illegal sex drugs, including 2,000 Power 1 Walnut pills, were seized in raids conducted last month.

Why it's still prevalent in Singapore...

Is he just plain nuts?

HE knows it can kill him, but this Singaporean grandfather is paying no heed to the warnings from his friends and newspaper reports.

The 68-year-old, who wanted to be known only by his nickname Ah Hiah (big brother in Hokkien), does not intend to stop using the Power 1 Walnut, an illegal sexual enhancement drug.

The reckless grandfather of four has been using it for the past 31/2months.

Power 1 Walnut had adversely affected the health of at least 10 men, aged between 30 and 70, who had taken the drug here.

It even caused one of them to suffer a stroke.

Still, Ah Hiah does not feel he is dicing with death.

He had also been warned by a friend who had felt unwell after taking the drug.

The 68-year-old married man told The New Paper on Sunday in Hokkien: 'I need to keep my three girlfriends satisfied and happy.

'This way, they will remain faithful and will not look for other men.'

His girlfriends - all from mainland China - are aged 25, 32 and 34.

Ah Hiah has been dating them for four to six months.

'When an old man has three young, beautiful women in love with him, he needs to ensure he is keeping pace with them,' he said.

And he thinks 'the pill can do it' for him.

He had his first dose when he was in Guangzhou last October, he said.

Ah Hiah, who had accompanied his 25-year-old girlfriend back to her hometown, said he was offered the sexual potency pill during a karaoke session.

He recalled: 'That night, I felt so 'song' (good) and I could do it three times with my lover.'

SPECIAL TREATMENT

The next morning, he claimed the woman, who is here on student pass, was 'especially sweet to him'.

When Ah Hiah returned to Singapore, he boasted to his regular fishing buddies about the effects of the drug.

It was then that one of them told him that 'Power 1 Walnut is the trend' now.

Ah Hiah was told that he could buy the pills off the streets near Desker Road.

But he said: 'I don't like to be seen around the area. Not good for my image.'

He asked his girlfriends to help him scout around for the pills and soon found a supplier.

Ah Hiah admitted that the pill's low cost - $1 to $2 per pill - was another draw.

Over the past three months, he has spent 'only about $350' on the drug, compared to the 'hundreds of dollars a month' that he used to spend on other sexual enhancement products.

'I can afford it,' the retired cab driver said.

His children - three grown-up sons and a daughter - give him a monthly allowance of $600 each.

He spends some of this money on a variety of products to 'boost his performance'.

From ground rhino horn to deer's penis, Tongkat Ali and even Viagra, Ah Hiah claimed he has tried them all.

He was, however, quick to insist that he 'did not have difficulty performing in bed', though he admitted age has slowed him down.

'Sometimes, I can only do it once a week,' he said. 'But sex is an important activity in my life.'

His 60-year-old wife has reached menopause and is no longer interested in sex, he said.

She travels regularly to Genting Highlands over the weekends to gamble - when she is not busy looking after the grandchildren.

Which means Ah Hiah is left all alone in his four-room HDB flat in the east.

That's when he sees his girlfriends.

'I don't have any other hobbies, just sex to keep me happy,' he said.

His 'student' girlfriend, who spoke to The New Paper on Sunday over the phone, cooed: 'Ah Hiah Gong (grandpa) is so powerful. Now, he can even try all kinds of patterns.'

And it is such 'compliments' that keep the old man going. And trying.

However foolish and dangerous his actions are.

Asked if he was concerned it may affect his health or even cost him his life, Ah Hiah insisted: 'I think it's just a matter of being heng (lucky) or suay (unlucky).

'It all depends on how fit you are.'

What, he felt, was more important was being able to keep himself happy.

He reasoned: 'Think of it this way - some people can even die from excitement after winning a big hand at the mahjong table.'

Silly? Not to him.

Ah Hiah reckons that at his age, even if he died, he has nothing to lose.

'It is better to die an ecstatic man in bed than a miserable man on the sofa in front of the TV,' he said.

The 10 men who had been affected by Power 1 Walnut had low blood sugar, dizziness, cold sweat and anxiety.

Out of the 10, four became unconscious. Nine of the 10 men have recovered, but one man, who was critically ill, is still in hospital.

Another 29 cases could not be confirmed as the patients were not willing to admit if they had taken Power 1 Walnut.

All the cases were detected between 29 Jan and 20 Feb.

[Looker]

I was in Singapore last week for 3 days but no chance at all to have fun
Was work, work and work..and some over-eating at local restaurants, with clients of cuz.
In fact, one of the people I met has a 'friend' who's a Chinese student from China and about 25 or so
He brought her along one evening. Not sure if he takes those nuts but the girl was very 'piaw liang'
