I am picky about the toiletries I use, mainly because I have sensitive skin and I am inclined to reactions to harsh detergents and chemicals. Artificial fragrances and perfumes make me crawl right out of my skin. Consequently, the toiletries I buy tend to be a bit pricier...though for the life of me I don't understand why natural ingredients are more expensive than a bunch of synthetic chemical compounds.
As a bit of background it should be noted that during the last shopping trip I purchased a different brand of bar soap because there was a significant savings over what I normally buy. Mr. Lime informed me that he was not a fan of the new soap. I asked if it was because of the relative lack of lather compared to what I bought before. He shook his head and replied, "Nope. The old stuff makes my balls tingle. This stuff doesn't." Isaac concurred and agreed with a serious preference for the "tingle effect." They went on to recount an encounter with a particular body wash someone left in the shower when they were on a group trip and housed in a guy's dorm. The owner of said body wash bemoaned how quickly it ran out, at which point, about four different guys spanning several decades in age admitted using it for the amazing and..erm...invigorating...sensations on one's manly bits.
Honestly, I have never had Dr. Bronner's Magic All-One Peppermint Soap, or any other soap for that matter, make any part of my anatomy tingle....of course, I also lack external gonads. Aside from it being natural and not making me breakout, I like it because I'm not a morning person and the smell kind of helped me wake up in the shower. So for the....uh....edification...of my male readers I thought I'd pass along that little gem in case any of you need that extra pick me up in your daily shower.
I guess now we know what the "magic" is all about.
