Revolting people are often sprayed on with tear gas, but this makes them more aggresive. What if the tear-inducing gas was replaced by gas that induced ejaculation... Aggression would be lowered and the crowd would rush home to change the underwear.

       First. How? Tear gas is an irritant that works on mucus membranes. It never really penetrates the body, and it has no neurological or systemic effects.   

       Inducing orgasm, even if such a drug exists, would require fairly massive neurological effect. The problem with this is that different people respond to differently to such drugs. And even if the people don't have hugely different reactions, the dosage is going to be critical.   

       This is why soporifics (sleepy or knockout gas) is used so rarely. You're as likely to kill people as incapacitate them.

       This is a rip-off.

       sooo... wouldn't more people show up for riots ?

       To revolt is not the same thing as being revolting, is it ?   

       And what about the non-ejaculators ?

       Revolting people wear underwear?
