“I’m also beginning to think that there must be a lot of penile dysfunction in Asia. There’s no other explanation for it. Just about every damn thing you can think of seems to have been thoroughly investigated for its potential wood-raising properties. If your waiter or a friend urges you to put something in your mouth that a tew weeks ago you never would have thought of eating, chances are it is believed to ‘make you strong.’ Only desperation can account for what the Chinese, for instance, do in the name of ‘medicine.’ That’s something you might remind your New Age friends who’ve gone gaga over ‘holistic medicine’ and ‘alternative Chinese cures.’ They say there are sun bears in China, hooked up to kidney drips like catsup dispensers, leaching bear bile into tiny bottles. Rhino horn. Bear claw. Bird’s nest. Duck embryo.
You’ve got to be pretty anxious about your penis to contemplate hurting a cute little sun bear.” - Anthony Bourdain
