The Ultimate Guide To Aphrodisiacs

The Aphrodisiac Myth:
You've probably read in many places that aphrodisiacs simply do not exist. This is simply untrue.

While there may be little or no scientific evidence to back up most claims, our research and experimentation over the past 12 years has yielded amazing, yet sometime perplexing, results. (More on the "perplexing" part later.) First, it is important to understand that various aphrodisiacs can perform various functions.

Categories of Aphrodisiacs:
First, there are what some people would consider to be "true aphrodisiacs", meaning that they create sexual passion and desire. During our years of personal experimentation, we have achieved such high levels of sexual desire that we were literally overwhelmed.

Second, there are aphrodisiacs that serve mainly to increase the level and intensity of orgasms. Again, in our own experimentation, while the male enjoyed obvious increases in both pleasure and duration, the female became so out of control that it was almost impossible to continue having sex.

Then there are aphrodisiacs that enhance sexual function. In this case, for our female subject, who had relied on sexual lubricants for several years, one single herb so greatly improved her "sexual juices" that within two days she no longer needed any lubricants. That remains true nearly two years later.

For the male, a combination of herbs has increased both the strength and duration of erections - so much so that nighttime erections sometimes make it difficult to sleep because "it's so hard it feels like it's going to explode."

There are also aphrodisiacs that will increase fertility, but we didn't think that would be as much fun to research.

Little Known Aphrodisiacs
Every once in awhile a magazine, or even a web site, will publish an article about aphrodisiacs, frequently about which foods or spices are aphrodisiacs. The problem is that such aphrodisiacs are so weak and ineffective that they don't really merit being categorized as such.

The very best aphrodisiacs are little known Ayurvedic and Chinese herbs that many herbalists don't even know about. We know a Chinese herbalist who is unfamiliar with most Ayurvedic herbs, an Ayurvedic herbalist who knows very little about Chinese herbalism, and an American herbalist and author who doesn't know much about either. Complicating the issue even further is that most books on herbalism list few, if any, of these herbs - even books on Chinese or Ayurvedic herbalism - probably because these herbs are simply not widely available in this country.

We have also discovered that very few herbalists seem to have a real interest in aphrodisiacs, thus making personal research and experimentation an essential part of our quest.
