I don't think fluoride necessarily affects libido or anything like that, at least not directly.
BTW, filtering water doesn't necessarily remove Fluoride. There is even some claims that even reverse osmosis doesn't remove Fluoride. Drinking distilled water is also dangerous to your health, if you drink only distilled water -- it will slowly deplete your body's stores of vitamins and minerals.
If you want to avoid fluoride and the other harmful substances in tap water (perchlorate, trihalomethanes and all the residual prescription drugs from the people who pee upriver of your municipality's water source) bottled water is about your only option, but you have to know what is in the water you're buying. Pellegrino, for example, has .52mg/L of Fluoride, in addition to Lithium and Strontium.
http://www.mineralwaters.org/ -- you can find out about the contents of just about every bottled water from around the world. Fiji is about the cleanest/healthiest.

Considering that there are very few places that do not fluoridate their water, your theory would mean that the entire country is "blue". Plus, even where the water isn't fluoridated, they still consume products produced in places that have fluoridated water, and produce grown with fluoridated water, etc. Just about everything you eat or drink has fluoride in it, sometimes in high concentrations.
Nobody has made an argument that there are MORE ice caps, and the planet is actually getting warmer at the moment. I will agree that it is a religious-like belief that the planet is getting irreversibly warmer and that it is because of the activities of man, when there are a lot of scientists who say that the planet goes through cyclical changes as well as is affected by cyclical changes in sun activity, and that the effect of man's activity is so miniscule and immaterial in such a large and complex climate system.
