Aphrodisiacs for men
Posted by hazel on Dec 1, 2007 in Herbs For Health • No commentsMen don’t really need aphrodisiacs, but since time immemorial touts have ranged the fields, hawking eye of newt and tongue of hippo as THE cure of a little good loving. So I decided its time to check out a few of these quack recipes, just for the sake of research obviously!
By the way, hubby refused to be yet another guinea pig for ‘said’ experiment, but was willing to judge the final result of the aphrodisiac and their effect on me. Typical male!
Here’s what happened,·
Ginseng –looked remarkably like a male you-know–what. Powdered it and drank the tea. Felt nothing except a mild zing. ·
Rhino horn –Illegal to even enquire about, so cancel that!·
Asparagus and Oysters-one looks like the male ding-dong while the other resembles the female dong-ding. Neither is particularly tasty. In fact, I have developed a definite dislike for oysters, yuck!·
Alcohol-Oddly enough just a single glass can put me to sleep. So no nooky for hubby that night!·
Pheromones- this definitely made me giggle. Pheromones are nothing but a special distillate of your armpit sweat. I doubt that’s what hubby had in mind when he says, “Let’s get hot and sweaty”. Cancel that too. Imagine wearing a stranger’s sweat to attract another stranger.·
Spanish Fly –not a fly and nothing Spanish about it. It’s the powdered blister beetle. Ingesting the powder can cause irritation in the genital which resembles sexual excitation. I don’t want to try anything which sounds remotely painful. Blister, no way! Cancel that too!
The experiment will continue. Watch this space.
