You may be familiar with aphrodisiacs for you may have heard them being discussed by people or some of your friends or may even have read it in books, magazines or on websites from the internet. However, do all of these said aphrodisiacs deliver what they promise and really boost one’s libido or is it just wishful thinking? Ever since the beginning of time, people have marketed almost everything from chocolates to oysters to ginseng to horny goat weed to Spanish fly to scallops as potential libido enhancers. But, do they really work?

A research coordinator for the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada, Alex McKay, says that even though there is a huge market for aphrodisiacs, majority of these do nothing directly to boost sex drive, including Viagra, which affects sexual function, not desire. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate that supplements and other libido enhancers which contain L-arginine, a natural amino acid are showing promise . Moreover, Concordia University is currently testing a new nasal spray drug, PT-141, that may help trigger sexual desire in individuals both men and women.

It has been said by Alex McKay that as of this moment in time, science is not able to prove that any of these traditional aphrodisiacs work. On the other hand, sex therapists have come to a conclusion that the mind is the primary source of sexual arousal and that any test of a suspected aphrodisiac would have to measure the placebo effect. According to the point of view of control groups for sexual research, they said that even those who received the placebo will report an increase in sex drive because they believe it will work.

Though science may really seem to disagree with the idea that aphrodisiacs can really boost one’s libido, celebrity chef and cookbook author Bonnie Stern simply giggled to those who underestimate the power of food on passion when she said that: “You can set the right mood with the right foods”. Moreover, she added, chocolate contains certain ingredients that seem to mimic the chemical effect when you’re aroused. Stern is referring to phenylethylamine (PEA), one of more than 400 different chemicals contained in chocolate. Some scientists believe that this chemical can create the same feelings when we’re in love. Therefore, it is wrong to believe that all aphrodisiacs and libido enhancers really work since only some of them do so never believe everything that you hear or see, do some research first for they may be wrong.
