DEEP in the Welsh valleys, far beyond civilisation’s call, is an unusual town. A town where the erections never droop. For here every man, woman and child is on Viagra.
Devastated by closed coalmines, Croesyceiliog, the subject of a BBC documentary tonight, agreed to take part in a trial to discover what would happen if an entire community was permanently sexually engorged. An experiment still going on today.
Norman Steele, aged 75, said: “I get up, I knock back a blue diamond with a cup of tea and then I set off and go about my priapic day.
“Of course I’m nursing a throbbing erection as I pop into the library to read the papers, but who isn’t? We all are. Sometimes, on the way to the bookies, I’ll stop and howl and toss myself off in the middle of the street. But in this town everyone’s been there.”
Postmistress Susan Traherne agreed: “When a customer asks for a book of second-class stamps and if he can just quickly mount me, it’s hardly unusual. And what with the bloodflow to my parts I’m as up for it as they are.
“The kiddies, bless them, don’t suffer those effects. All they do is smash their Lego up a lot. But the rest of us, well, it’s stonk-ons and casual sex dawn until dusk.”
Mayor Bill McKay said: “They wanted to end the trial in 2009, but we were up in arms about it. It’s given us a real community spirit. There’s not an adult here I’ve not gone off up at one time or another.
“It may seem unusual to outsiders, but to us here in Croesy having a cock that could break china is normal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go and f**k a knothole in a tree.”
