I can't believe i'm saying this, but... I think mosquitos don't deserve this. There's basically no life form that deserves our cruelty more than mosquitoes, but this pushes a boundary i didn't know was there.

As long as they can still get blood from other creatures too, I'm okay with it. If not, than that could have wild implications to the food chain assuming it leads to massive population degradation.

"sir, there's been a complication...it seems the mosquitoes with our gene are dying off in water ways and directly polluting the waters....humans may never be erect again."

In all seriousness... that would solve a lot of problems, and humanity would persist with (upgraded) reciprocal IVF. It would be kinda sad to see mankind disappear though.

Well penis pump+ring keep it up long enough I'm sure

It's a nice idea. But I wonder what the long term ramifications might be. What ripple effects might happen that we can't see today that end up being problems in the future.

Human history is littered with such problems.

Yeah but those little bastards started it. People call what's happening in Gaza a genocide but that's nothing compared with the mozzie kill count.

Why make them flaccid instead of just killing them?

Most species are invasive and not part of the natural ecosystem of most places anyway.
