"Doc, you've gotta help me! My wife just isn't interested in sex anymore.
Haven't you got a pill or something I can give her?"
"Look, I can't prescribe..."
"Doc, we've been friends for years. Have you ever seen me this upset? I am
desperate! I can't think. I can't concentrate. My life is going utterly to hell!
You've got to help me!"
The doctor opens his desk drawer and removes a small bottle of pills.
"Ordinarily, I wouldn't do this. These are experimental. The tests so far indicate
that they are VERY powerful. Don't give her more than one, understand? Just ONE."
"I don't know, doc. She's awfully cold..."
"One. No more. Put it in her coffee. Okay?"
"Um...Okay."
The man expresses his gratitude, and departs for home, where his wife has dinner waiting. When dinner is finished, she goes to the kitchen to bring dessert. The man, in fumbling haste, pulls the pills from his pocket and drops one into his wife's coffee. He reflects for a moment, hesitates, then drops in a second pill. And then he starts to worry. The doctor said they were powerful. Then an inspiration strikes and he drops one into his own coffee too.
His wife returns with the shortcake, and they enjoy their dessert and coffee. Sure

sighs deeply and heavily, and a strange look enters her eyes. In a near-whisper
and in a tone of voice he has never heard her use before, she says, "I...need...a man."
His eyes glitter, and his hands tremble as he replies,
"Me too..."
