Question: How do aphrodisiacs work? I know it has something to do with our senses but in what other ways to aphrodisiacs work?
PS: NOT asking for a list of aphrodisiacs.
Answer: Most of them don't.
Some aphrodisiacs aim to increase the brain's production of chemicals that make you feel happy (chocolate and spicy foods).
Others simply hint at a sexual act when you eat them (asparagus, oysters).
The basic idea is to trick the brain into a state of arousal.

Question: What are some great cheap aphrodisiacs for girls? My girlfriend doesn't have a huge sex drive, it's not that she doesn't enjoy it (hehe I am quite sure we both satisfy each other) and we see each other all the time, it's just I am always an extremely naughty person :P and she feels guilty cos she wants to do it but she just doesn't feel anything down there and it's frustrating for both of us :(
What are some good CHEAP aphrodisiacs and where can I get them? :) thanks, best answers have most in them and where :D
Answer: You should go in for longer fore play before trying aphrodisiacts which rarely work, if ever. A little tongue does wonders down there too, but remember that the greatest erogenous zone is the brain. Women enjoy sexy words too. Create the right mood and they will listen to their lovers on any subject, quietly getting wet, before getting to the sex action. The most effective four-letter word is T A L K.

Question: What foods do vegans use as aphrodisiacs? The foods I know to be aphrodisiacs are of animal origin (oysters, Spanish fly, and rhino horn).
Answer: From what I understand, they often swallow gel caps that include a mix of genuine African rain, lotus petal extract from Japan, and soil taken from the mating areas of wild moose, deep in the forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Question: What are some of the most potent aphrodisiacs you have experienced using? some of the tastiest too.
Answer: It depends on what you mean as aphrodisiac. If you are referring to something that will make another person fall in love with you, then the other answer is exactly right... no such thing exists.
If you are referring to something that helps make you horny or more interested in sex yourself, then there are herbs that can help to "ignite your passions". The most popular natural passion products are Tribulus, Maca, Horny Goat Weed (which really does just make you horny), Yohimbe, Avena Sativa, Tongkat Ali (or LongJax), L-Arginine, and L-Citrulline. Each of those help a different aspect of sexual health, so you might need to try a few.
One thing to note is that Yohimbe does have a warning that it may increase your blood pressure, so you have to watch out for that. Aside from that, they are all very effective for many people. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Question: Are there any homeopathic aphrodisiacs? I'm doing an essay on aphrodisiacs in different cultures etc. I've found lots of supposed herbal aphrodisiacs and ones that are peculiar to certain cultures or countries but can't find anything relating just to homeopathy!
Any ideas?
Answer: Homeopathy:
After a thorough medical exam and diagnosis, try taking one of these 6C remedies two or three times a day until improvement occurs, says Chris Meletis, N.D., a naturopathic physician and medicinary director at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Agnus castu can be helpful for symptoms of a cold and relaxed penis and for lack ofSexuall desire. If you are apprehensive and cannot have an erection. Try Argentum nitricum, he says, if your erection fails when attempting intercourse.
All these remedies are available in most health food store.
Homeopathy:
Infertility should be treated on an individual basic by a homeopath or fertility specialist, write Andrew Lockie, M.D, and Nicola Geddes, M.D., in The Women's Guide to Homeopathy. But they add that there are several homeopathic remedies you can try while waiting for professional care. They suggests taking 30C dose of one of the following remedies every 12 hours for up to seven days.
If you're a woman whose breasts fell tender, with pockets of hard swelling, and whose desire for sex is ebbing , try Conium, says Dr. Lockie and Dr. Geddes.
They say that Lycopodium may help if you have a dry vagina and tenderness in your lower abdomen over the right ovary. If you feel weepy, chilly and irritable, have a lack of sexual desire, they suggests trying Sepia. And if you've had a previous miscarriage before 2 weeks, try Sabina, they says.
All these remediesaree available in most health food stores.
Question: What are the best food aphrodisiacs that have worked for YOU?
Answer: A romantic dinner can put you in the mood for love; not just because of the intimacy created by candlelight and soft music, but because foods have historically played a part in our sexuality. The silkiness of melted chocolate, the sweet juice and delicate fuzz of a ripe peach, the spicy bite of a hot pepper; all tantalizing to both the taste buds and an erotic imagination.
Additionally, several cultures regard foods like bananas, asparagus and carrots as erotic stimulants because of their phallic resemblance. The ancient Aztec name for avocado was "ahuacatl," or testicle, because of the fruit's appearance and virgin girls were forbidden from going outdoors during harvests.
Today, research has discovered that some of the best-known edible aphrodisiacs do in fact contain certain vitamins and minerals that contribute to a healthy reproductive system if not a healthy libido. Oysters have long been considered the food of love and legend has it that Casanova ate dozens of oysters a day, once even seducing a vestal virgin by sliding an oyster from his lips to hers.
Whatever the case, the truth is that oysters are high in zinc, a mineral used in the production of testosterone. Asparagus, instantly recognized by its own suggestive shape, happens to be high in vitamin E, considered one of the sex hormone stimulants. Chilies may heat up your sex life too, due to capsaicin — the substance that gives kick to peppers, curries and other spicy foods. Capsaicin stimulates nerve endings to release chemicals, raising the heart rate and possibly triggering the release of endorphins giving you the pleasurable feeling of a natural high.
Finally, no discussion of erotic foods would be complete without chocolate. Still the traditional lover's gift, research suggests the stimulant phenylethylamine, found in chocolate, engenders a sense of well being and excitement conducive to lovemaking.
Even the smells of certain foods have been found to be sexually arousing, according to studies at the Smell and Taste Foundation in Chicago — notably pumpkin pie and buttered popcorn for men and licorice candy for women.

Question: What are some aphrodisiacs you can find at home?
Answer: Anything can really be an aphrodisiac if you put your mind to it... But some foods have more of that type of effect than others.
I hear oysters are aphrodisiacs, but I don't know if that's true, as I've never tried it myself.
Blueberries are also aphrodisiacs, they're easy to get your hands on and you can use them in many different ways.
Just experiment for what works. Good luck!
