WASHINGTON — A Brazilian spider delivers more than a painful bite that sends most victims to the hospital. Its venom stimulates an hours-long erection. Now scientists have figured out the chemical that seems to be responsible for the penis boost.

In Brazil, emergency room staff can immediately spot the victims of a bite from the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria nigriventer). Patients not only experience overall pain and an increase in blood pressure, they also sport anuncomfortable erection.

          I can think of a good reason for this. If a man is bitten by a poisonous spider then it's likely he'll die. So nature 'thinks' he ought to reproduce as soon as possible. It's a survival thing.....

            Good point Snak! I was thinking that the venom must dilate arterial blood flow through the body and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, release of endorphins in response to the pain of the bite, and then blood rushes right to the penis. Do I have this right, in terms of physiology?

              Maybe the small sample tested enjoyed being bit by spiders?
