Yep, apply to scrotal region then take hot shower. Instant relief as the steam and the vapors intermix to create a European type steam bath environment.

OP trying to compete with norseamd and his Valve thread? You might be running a distant 4th or 5th. Keep trying!

Yeah, clearly another backfire thread.
Not close to norseamd's though as the OP isn't fighting tooth and nail to defend their point (and failing miserably)

Still a good one though!

During the 80's, Vics Vapor rub was a popular personal lubricant.
Its still commonly used in several countries to "enhance vitality" during love making.

There was a thread in the Love and Relationships forum about a few years back.

This has to be the biggest troll post ever...

DO NOT put that stuff on your junk :D

Since you repeated it multiple times, I'm here to inform you that there is a difference between "there" and "their."

It's the thymol in VapoRub that's the good stuff as far as I know, not menthol. Thymol, concentrated thyme extract basically, is a pretty potent anti-bacterial agent and kills fungi too. Put it on your toes to get rid of toenail fungus. I've applied a sheen of it to the screens of open windows, keeps the super tiny gnats and no-see-ums from trying to get through the mesh. A smear of the stuff on wooden stakes around your garden does a pretty good job of warding off pests too. I'll spread a layer on the inside lip of plant containers as a cat deterrent. Damn cats love to chew up any kind of garden or pole bean I start indoors, it's maddening. I've had other people tell me they anoint their boots and pants in strategic locations before hikes as it makes you a lot less appetizing for ticks, but I've never tried it.
