Nothing like a shot on a cold night, right? Actually,

warmth. It can actually drop core body temp. Yikes.
Chastity Belts
Husbands would put these on their wives in days gone by to

prudes in the 19th century to prevent ‘dangerous’ masturbation.

effect of caffeine is offset by the amount of water in a caffeinated drink.
Shaving thickens hair
Regrown hair isn’t thicker, coarser or darker. It just
appears so because it’s no longer tapered.
