Sex bomb

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sex Bomb or Gay Bomb was a proposal for a chemical weapons project by the US armed forces .

overview

In 1994, scientists at the Wright Laboratory on the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base , Ohio site proposed various concepts for non-lethal chemical weapons . One of those chemical weapons was supposed to be the Sex Bomb, also known as the Gay Bomb.

The concept envisaged a weapon that would bring the enemy soldiers into sexual ecstasy with great lust for sexual acts with one another. These soldiers, obviously no longer able to fight, would then have been easy to overpower without having to kill them.

This concept didn’t get it beyond the mind game since the US ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997 . The files on the Sex Bomb were released by the Sunshine Project (an organization critical of the government in the USA) after they were no longer classified as secret by the Freedom of Information Act .

Edward Hammon, a spokesman for the anti-government group, said he found many nonsensical ideas for new weapons in those files. Another concept should, for example, make the soldiers' bad breath or body odor unbearable or change their smell so that they would be attacked by insects. Furthermore, there should be no further research in this direction. The Sex Bomb is therefore no more than a curiosity of the weapons research.

The homosexual porn label Dark Alley Media took on the material in the film "Gay Bomb".

Furthermore, the study was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in 2007 .
