Diabetic Bret Michaels: I Hold Off Insulin For Better Sex

First Posted: 06-10-09 04:17 PM | Updated: 06-10-09 04:33 PM

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. It's not online yet, so is transcribed below:

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.

4. And I thought chivalry was dead!

Does that hose-bag really think shit like this impresses anyone?

What am I saying? Of course it does. Otherwise, 'Rock of Love' would have no viewers.
