] The New Zealand deer pizzle trade is facing its stiffest
] test - the growing use of a Viagra substitute by Chinese
] men.
]
] About 200,000 of the deer penises, complete with
] testicles, are sent to China from New Zealand each year.
]
] "For a long time men believed that the larger the pizzle,
] the stronger their own would be," says Murray Hamer,
] Oriental trade manager for the Alpine Deer Group, based
] in Wanaka.
]
] But the market, mainly in the north of China, is
] gradually reducing. "The belief in the sexual vigour of
] pizzles is slowly dying out. Modern Chinese men believe
] they don't work. They have turned to the Chinese version
] of Viagra and are getting results."
