Dear Prudence,

This is a political concern, not personal. Each time I see the erectile dysfunction ad with Bob Dole, I cringe. What happened to his statesmanlike demeanor? Is it entirely a coincidence that we have a president who can get it up (for each and every one who asks), instead of a president who can't? Do we need to know about Bob's penile trouble in order to go forward? Must we be a party to all his witherings? Surely someone agrees with me.

Dear Rice,

Prudie guesses Mrs. Dole and her campaign aides agree with you. And Prudie is reminded of the old vaudeville joke about an older gentleman who tells a friend that he finds sex at his age terrific. Especially the one in the winter.

Dear Prudie,

Your advice to the woman pondering breast implants seemed fair and balanced. How rare. I thought, however, I might take the opportunity to chime in and mention that I have got wind of the existence of an herb, indigenous to Thailand, which reportedly stimulates the actual growth of existing breasts. I've heard only scattered reports about it, and those mostly relating to the Thai government's efforts to quell its export. Your readers who are currently considering artificial augmentation (which as a man I find repugnant) may just want to wait a while. I'm sure a fistful of American money will have the Thai people throwing seeds over the border in no time.
