Watermelon = Viagra: Have You Ever Noticed A Viagra-Effect After Eating Watermelon?

Scientists say watermelon has ingredients that deliver Viagra-like effects to the body's blood vessels and may even increase libido.
Beneficial ingredients in watermelon and other fruits and vegetables are known as phyto-nutrients, naturally occurring compounds that are bioactive, or able to react with the human body to trigger healthy reactions, Patil said.
In watermelons, these include lycopene, beta carotene and the rising star among its phyto-nutrients – citrulline – whose beneficial functions are now being unraveled. Among them is the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does.

After 6000 years of human history one would think that, if this were true, everyone would know it. I have heard of someone having sex with a watermelon though!!

you didn't put up the part of the research that shows most of the citrulline is in the rind and skin. and its more prevalent in the yellow fleshed melons. also you can't eat too much watermelon at one time its a natural diuretic. citrulline actually relaxes the blood vessels which is what viagra does. but you would have to eat a lot of rind to see some effects if any!

You have to eat it to feel the effects?
If so (and if needed) then throw the whole thing, besides peel, in a juicer. That way it is all a very sweet and refreshing juice.

Your bladder is full because of all the water and it causes a sensation. That is all. Never eat watermelon before going to bed. Bad mistake.
