Everyday new drugs emerge in the market to treat disease and to improve health. Yet before they are even approved they will undergo a series of test to determine its effectiveness and safety for human use. Recently, a number of new drugs were recalled from their distribution. These includes herbal medicines and of course, sex enhancers that were not tested for human consumption and have been reported to have negative effects to the body. These drugs were mistakenly regarded as safe since small scale drug store sell them unchallenged and even without a prescription from an expert. With the distorting effects on sex by mass media to the young people, they are potential victims of these drugs. Harmful minute ingredients like lead may lead to harmful effects to the body that range from nausea to mental retardation and cardiac/renal affectation. These are some aphrodisiacs from plant and animal source that were believed to enhance sexual prowess: Caution: Not all natural are safe for the human body.
  • Onions
  • Ginseng
  • Kelp
  • Ginkgo Biloba
  • Strawberries
  • Artichokes
  • Oysters
  • Mussels
  • Tomatoes
Aphrodisiac Drugs:
  • Testosterone
  • Dopaminergic System Stimulants (e.g. MDPV)
  • Phenylethylamine (present in chocolate)
  • Bremelatonide
However, from a historical and scientific standpoint, the alleged results on the use of aphrodisiacs may have been mainly due to mere belief by their users that they would be effective like the placebo effect, a substance or procedure a patient accepts as medicine or therapy, but which has no specific therapeutic activity. Any therapeutic effect is thought to be based on the power of suggestion.
