A legend that has persisted for as long as I can remember is that of the saltpeter-tainted food at bootcamp. As it goes, the reason no one gets an erection while at the Recruit Depot is because they put something in the food to keep the recruits unaroused. You see, it’s not because you’re stressed out, getting yelled at by sweaty dudes, or being hazed until you pass out.
It’s the food!
Incredibly, this myth has been around for… well… ever. I guess it’s just unfathomable to most that they may be unable to achieve arousal unless there’s some insidious secret behind it.
For my part, while the 3 months of recruit training was the longest I had ever gone without… relieving the pressure… I know it wasn’t the food, because it was also the only time I’ve ever had a wet dream in my life, so there’s that.
Thankfully, it was a couple of hours before reveille.
