The aphrodisiacs: myth or reality

Salut i Força, the Balearic health magazine, has published in its latest number an article about aphrodisiacs, by Drs. Joan Mir and J. M. Valverde, specialists in Sexology.

The term aphrodisiac is applied to certain medicines or substances, generally edible, that are supposed to increase desire or sexual potency. The article goes over the use of aphrodisiacs throughout history, relates the products that are supposed to have aphrodisiac properties, and analyses the effects of some of the particular substances, such as the androgenes, alcohol, and some drugs, which although they may approach the objective of improving sexual impulse, can create a habit in the person or present different and serious secondary effects.
