It was a great thing to see the sunny day after yesterday’s all day rains. Made being in the house easier, didn’t really want to go out in it.
After doing (blush again) Bond yesterday and am watching Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford in Devil’s Own ( http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4130184217/ ) decided we’d explore the world of love or at least the lengths we go to make it (dare I say sex?).
“Over the centuries frustrated humans have been willing to try almost anything to restore FLAGGING amorous FEELINGS.” The Healthy Edge 2/14 p.19 In Peru they used frog juice (think pureed creatures–ugh) to boost strength and increase desire. Even Icons weren’t spared–Powdered gecko was once considered an aphrodisiac. Foods that resembled certain organs like cucumbers, figs, bananas as well as those of other organs: oysters and mussels have been used in other cultures as aphrodisiacs. The ancient Hindu text on sex The Kama Sutra ( http://www.sacred-texts.com/sex/kama/ ) suggests ram testicle, peacock bone and monkey dung (all of which really turn me on).
others include
Foods and herbs which have been claimed to be aphrodisiacs:
Ambergris
Tiger penis
Deer penis and antlers (in Taiwan and China)
Epimedium grandiflorum (Horny Goat Weed)
Ginkgo biloba
Ginseng
Salamander Brandy
Spanish fly (cantharidin)
Watermelon Citrulline is a weak nitric oxide stimulator.

to name just a few.
“Can certain foods, drugs and scents really increase sexual desire? Millions of people swear they can, but the scientific evidence is still in question.” http://science.howstuffworks.com/aphrodisiac.htm
