Diabetic Bret Michaels: I Hold Off Insulin For Better Sex

Bret Michaels has a back-page interview with the July issue of Elle Magazine, which has Gwen Stefani on the cover.

Inside he talks about groupies and life on the road, and finishes saying how he literally risks his life for better sex.

ELLE: You've lived with diabetes since you were a kid. How does the disease affect your sex life?

BM: The only time it will ever affect you in bed is if you have extremely low blood sugar and you go into insulin shock, at which point you won't be standing up, let alone performing sex. However, I will sometimes hold off on the insulin, which will jack my blood sugar level up to the low 200 range. It's like how a prizefighter will want to go into the ring with his blood sugar levels high. It gives you the stamina of a bull. So, yes, sometimes I will endanger my own life to pleasure a woman.

I sincerely hope he gets the diabetic education he so obviously needs before he's unable to "pleasure" a woman at all. High blood sugar doesn't give stamina in the bedroom...­it causes all kinds of problems with your "instrumen­t!" Very "limp" example for his fans trying to live with diabetes.

"To pleasure the Woman!?" Blahhh haaaaaa haaa haaahaaa.

That guy...care­s about pleasuring a Woman...no­t really likely since I am sure he only bangs groupies mostly. And it's important to make sure a groupie is sexually pleased, right?!

What a tool. Explains him breaking his nose the other night...no­t too bright..ju­st lucky!

Bret Michaels is no more intelligen­t than those diabetics who don't take their insulin to avoid weight gain. Stupidity knows no boundaries­.

It's covering up his 12" forehead, and probably some male pattern baldness too!

He can't remove the bandana; because it would expose surgically implanted with snaps that keep his hair pieces and scarves in place - even when struck down by theater curtain.

The best way for him to pleasure a woman is to find her a nice, CLEAN , handsome man.
