The stimulation of desire you have to seek elsewjere, like maybe yohimbine. HTH Alex |

Later, suffering from 'fatigue' his doctor warned him about too much sex and Louis replied that he was told he would be fine if he did not use aphrodisiacs, and his dr. said "as yes, but variety is the greatest aphrodisiac of all." -- Mr. Joseph Littleshoes Esq.

> The Romans considered lettuce an aphrodisiac too! The Egyptians, not the Romans. In Greek and Roman medicine lettuce was said to cause "bodily weakness" (thus in the Hippocratic text _Regimen_), or, more bluntly, to be an antaphrodisiac: Don't serve me _thridakinai_ at table, woman, or you will have yourself to blame. In a lettuce bed, they say, once upon a time the dead Adonis was laid to rest by Aphrodite. So it is food for corpses. (Quoting from _Food in the Ancient World from A to Z_ by Andrew Dalby.) There are references to Horace, Pliny, Plutarch, Athenaeus, Palladius and Anthimus. Victor |

Ginseng, rhinoceros horn, and oysters are three classical examples. <http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/02/16/are-oysters-really-aphrodisiacs.htm> ....like asparagus spears, etc. or maybe it's just that they are expensive. your pal, blake |
