Wedding Rings May Cause Impotence
Stop the presses: Wedding rings reduce male power and may cause impotence, according to Pravda. And if Pravda says it, you know it must be true.
A wedding ring, which many men constantly wear on the fourth finger, may initiate a variety of sexual disorders and eventually end up with partial or even complete impotence. A recent research work conducted by Belarussian scientists revealed that widespread beliefs of losing strong virility after many years of wearing the wedding ring on the ring finger are based on certain scientific reasons.
Scientifically speaking, those men are morons. "Known bio-therapist, healer Sergei Gagarin," explains part of the problem thusly:
Any educated person probably may remember the so-called right hand screw rule from the course of physics: when the electric conductor moves into a closed circuit, the self-induction EMF (electromotive force) with a certain vector occurs in it. Similarly, the nerves in human fingers can be compared to the conductor, while the wedding ring acts like a closed circuit.
There's more but basically, "those who do not wear wedding rings 24/7 may have a lot fewer problems in their sex lives," he says. Especially, I imagine, if their sex lives involve women other than their wives.
