INDIA: Demand for camel milk has increased in western India's desert province of Rajasthan after an 88-year-old man who recently fathered a child attributed his virility to the drink.
Ever since Virmaram Jat, from the sparsely-populated Barmer district, revealed what he believed to be the secret of his sexual prowess, sales of camel milk have shot up. One dealer doubled his prices to 40 rupees (€0.66) a litre, up from 20 rupees (€0.33) a few weeks ago, and was fast running out of supplies.
"I don't want to live to 100, but as long as I live I should be able to enjoy sex," Jat said last month.
He said he had never heard of Viagra, drank vast quantities of camel milk, had sex daily and planned on having more children. He neither smokes nor drinks.
