We are about to find out!Aphrodisiacs originated from a few known places, the first was back in the days of Greek mythology, the reason behind the sexual enhancement brought on by aphrodisiacs that at that time is that food was at times scarce. Full and complete nutrition is a basic need for life and once this need was met, then a person could focus on other needs, hence sex. Also a mal-nourished body has no libido, so a fully nourished body is more likely to want to engage in sex whereas a hungry body will focus on filling the belly! This basic need for human survival is another reason that food...

A List of Best Aphrodisiac Foods for Valentine's Day
2008-02-10 22:31:00 Celebrated as the most romantic day of the year, Valentine's Day brings with it flowers, candies, cookies, chocolates, cupid, candlelight and love. Our romantic fantasies may begin with Cupid and Roses, but somehow they always seem to end with luscious food, because no celebration is complete without delicious food, and perhaps some alcohol! It is probably a universal belief that certain food and beverages can act as strong aphrodisiacs due to certain chemicals they release in our bodies, as chocolate has been proven to do. But most of the times they excite many of our senses through a combination of taste, texture and appearance. The shape of some foods is highly associated with arousal in humans. But whatever may be the reason, it's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with some foods that can act as aphrodisiacs, and as Valentine's Day is around the corner, whether you are planning a romantic dinner or looking for gift ideas, here's something that will keep you right on...

Death upheld for China ant aphrodisiac conman
2008-02-04 12:39:00 BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese court on Monday upheld the death penalty for a company chairman convicted of conning investors out of 3 billion yuan ($417 million) in a bogus scheme to breed ants to make aphrodisiacs, state media said. Liaoning Provincial Higher People's Court upheld the judgment against Wang Zhendong, board chairman of Yingkou Donghua Trading (Group) Co. in northeastern Liaoning province. Wang was sentenced to death last February while 15 company managers were jailed for between five and 10 years by the Yingkou Intermediate People's Court. "Wang promised returns of 35 to 60 percent for the fictitious project" under the name of Donghua Zoology Culturing Co. Ltd. and Donghua Spirit Co. Ltd. between 2002 and 2005, Xinhua news agency said. The ants were to be used for making liquor, herbal remedies and aphrodisiacs. More than 10,000 investors signed contracts with the company before the case was investigated in June 2005.

Deer Antlers as aphrodisiac
2008-01-23 09:02:00 Yes, its real deer antlers and they’re from live deer. You might think that they were hunted down to extinction for this purpose, but that’s a “no”. (It might be true for their pelt but not for their antlers.) It might be true before, perhaps, but today, according to the sources I’ve read, they take it from the deer without killing them since it’s only the tip of their antlers that they’re after.They call this tip as “deer antler velvet”, or just “deer velvet”. Deer velvet is named after the soft velvet-like covering of deer antlers while they are growing and still in a cartilaginous state, before they harden into bone. “Deer antlers”, by the way, are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. They grow with remarkable swiftness and every year, after the roar and mating season, the antlers are cast to begin the cycle again in the spring. After removal, antlers are frozen and transported under sanitary conditions. The product is t...

Cobra an aphrodisiac
2007-12-30 08:37:00 It is quite uncertain how and why it started; but it hasn’t gone unnoticed for many psychologists that most aphrodisiacs, especially from the east, are derived mostly from creatures that are either dangerous, or are so rare that it is difficult to come by. Because of these beliefs of power being drawn from the bellies of rare poisonous and fierce animals, it often lead to disastrous consequences such as lives sacrificed for obtaining such precious (and most often highly priced) elixirs, and the demise of a species hunted down to extinction. One such animal is the cobra. The more poisonous the species is, the more potent its aphrodisiac qualities. (Of course, it follows that the more powerful the effect is the more expensive, right?)Drinking these serpents’ blood is the usual method to derive its aphrodisiac power. It is done by mixing the cobra’s blood with a strong alcoholic beverage. Most say, the alcohol serves as a neutralizer to kill the taste of the snake’s blood. Othe...

Salmon an aphrodisiac
2007-10-31 18:09:00 Salmonete sa platoSalmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout. Salmon live in both Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes and other land locked lakes.Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn; research indicates that at least 90% of the fish that spawn in a particular stream were born there. In Alaska, the crossing-over to other streams allows salmon to populate new streams, such as those that emerge as a glacier retreats. The precise method salmon use to navigate has not been entirely established, though their keen sense of smell is involved. In all species of Pacific salmon, the mature individuals die within a few days or weeks of spawning, a trait known as semelparity. However, even in those species of salmon th...

Could it be that a peaceful Iraq would make them look as foolish as they did during the cold war (to be honest, they did win one in Vietnam)?

Shark Fin Soup
2007-08-13 18:23:00 ang pating, bow...Genuine shark fin soup or stew is made with shark fins obtained from any of a variety of shark species. Raw shark fins are processed by first removing the skin, trimming them to shape, and thoroughly drying them. They may be bleached with hydrogen peroxide before drying to make their color more appealing. Shark fins are the cartilaginous pectoral and dorsal fins of a shark. Shark's fins are sold in two forms - frozen and dried. Both need to be softened before they can be used to prepare soup. The frozen form is ready to use as it has been pre-prepared and therefore only requires about an hour of soaking. There are two types of the dried form, skinned (shredded) or un-skinned (whole) which require more preparation.Shark fins, in common with other costly east Asian delicacies such as Bird's nest soup and sea cucumber, have very little flavor of their own. Their appeal lies more in their texture and their ability to absorb flavors from other soup ingredients, and al...

While some claim that it was the Turkish who first generated the word khavyar, some say it derives from the Persian word خاگآور (Xâg-âvar), meaning "the roe-generator"; others say chav-jar, which means "cake of power", a reference to the ancient Persian practice of eating caviar in stick form as a kind of elixir. In Persian, the word refers to both the sturgeon and its roe; in Russian, the word икра (ikra), "roe", is used.Contemporary black caviar is roe from sturgeon ...

Bird?s nest soup
2007-07-29 18:20:00 Bird's nest soup is a delicacy in Chinese cuisine made from the nests of ?cave swifts.? The nests are edible because it is made of hardened saliva from the birds. The nests have been traditionally consumed in China for over 400 years, most often as Bird's Nest Soup and one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans also. When dissolved in water, the birds' nests have a gelatinous texture used for making the soup. It is prepared either salty or sweet.The most heavily harvested nests are from the White-nest swiftlet (Aerodramus fuciphagus) and the Black-nest swiftlet (Aerodramus maximus).

Sea Cucumber as an aphrodisiac
2007-07-11 19:09:00 Yummy!!!The sea cucumber is an echinoderm of the class Holothuroidea, with an elongated body and leathery skin, which is found on the sea floor worldwide. It has a gelatinous characteristic and is distantly related to star fish and sea urchins. It is so named because of its cucumber-like shape. Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an endoskeleton just below the skin. It has a distinctly phallic appearance, which may account for its reputation as an aphrodisiac. Sea cucumbers are generally scavengers, feeding on debris in the benthic layer. The diet of most cucumbers consists of plankton and decaying organic matter found in the sea. One way they might get a supply of food is to position themselves in a current where they can catch food that flow by with their tentacles when they open. Another way is to sift through the bottom sediments using their tentacles.Sea cucumber is considered a delicacy in Far East countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia....

Bremelanotide: Hey, Baby, Come a Little Closer to Me
2007-06-28 23:54:00 Sure, I usually post articles on progressive politics. And yes, I do get burnt out with frustrations sometimes, and occasionally, yeah, I let off steam by writing about food or beauty or even [gasp] aphrodisiacs. Ever since I was a 10-year-old reading my big sister's copy of Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex but Were Afraid to Ask (at an early age, I had decided to be a sex therapist?instead, I moved to Japan and came back disillusioned with the whole Western-centricity of psycho-babble), I confess to a fascination with what substances can persuade people to, um, procreate. Used to be Spanish Fly was the only legit one. Now there's a whole pharmacopeia of prescription love potions.I had a blast covering the latest homegrown Viagra discovered in the UK recently?one that comes from the quotidian and cheap winter-flowering heather?and have also written extensively on, well, chocolate, just because it's fun. So, indulge me as I procrastinate covering the role of the U.S....

Sky Flakes, an aphrodisiac
2007-06-28 20:08:00 Sa Sky Flakes, mas masaya and buhay!!!For a change I won't be telling facts about why this thing is considered an aphrodisiac since I don't have anything to prove my claim neither. Just try it and let's see if it also takes effect on you. Perhaps, I should just share my experience on this particular matter that lead me into believing that it's an aphrodisiac.Last night, I consumed about 6 packs of this cracker, the classic one (without flavor). Each pack has 3 crackers inside so that makes it 18 all in all. After successfully eating it all up, I grabbed a cold water from the fridge and drank. Suddenly, it feels weird as I'm having a nice warm sensation in my groin area. Then, that's the time when I had an erection and felt a raw libidinous urge to masturbate. That's it. It's an aphrodisiac I tell you.Tagged as: love, aphrodisiac, crackers

Arugula as an aphrodisiac
2007-06-18 19:14:00 Aruuy Guulaay!!!Arugula, also known as rocket, garden rocket, rocket salad, rugola, rucola and roquette, is a type of leaf vegetable, which looks like a longer leaved and open lettuce. Rocket is an herbaceous annual or perennial; a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae = Cruciferae). It is aromatic and rich in vitamins A, C, and iron. The term arugula (variations of Italian dialects around ?arigola?) is the term often used by the Italian diaspora in Australia and North America; both words arugula and rocket ultimately come from the Latin word stem roc and eruca which means ?harsh,? in reference to its bitter flavor especially when collected from the wild.Arugula is generally used in salads but also cooked as a vegetable with pastas or meats and in coastal Slovenia (especially Koper), it is added in the ?squeaky cheese burek.? In Italy, it is often used in pizzas, added just before the baking period ends or immediately afterwards, so that it can wilt in the heat. It is sometimes...

Mustard is an aphrodisiac
2007-06-13 19:29:00 mmmMustard!!!Mustards are several plant species in the genera Brassica and Sinapis whose small mustard seeds are used as a spice and condiment also known as ?mustard.? The seeds are also pressed to make mustard oil, and the edible leaves can be eaten as mustard greens.The mustard condiment is a thick yellow or yellow-brown paste with a sharp taste that is prepared from the ground seeds of mustard plants (white or yellow mustard or Sinapis hirta, brown or Indian mustard or Brassica juncea, and black mustard or Brassica nigra), by mixing them with water, vinegar or other liquids, and adding ingredients such as flour. A strong mustard can cause the eyes to water, burn the palate and inflame the nasal passages.

Aromatheraphy as aphrodisiac
2007-05-29 18:26:00 Aromatheraphy is the use of volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other scented compounds from plants for the purpose of affecting a person's mood or health. Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination with other alternative medical practices and spiritual beliefs. It has a particularly Western currency and persuasion. Medical treatment involving aromatic scents may exist outside of the West, but may or may not be intended by the term 'aromatherapy'.Aromatherapy has roots in antiquity with the use of aromatic oils. However, as currently defined, aromatherapy involves the use of distilled plant volatiles, a twentieth century innovation. The word, aromatherapy, was first used in the 1920s by French chemist Ren Maurice Gattefoss, who devoted his life to researching the healing properties of essential oils after a lucky accident in his perfume laboratory.

2007-05-22 19:31:00 Quit "wine"ing!!!Wine is an alcoholic drink and can give beneficial effects to the body, especially its anti-aging properties, but did you know that it?s an aphrodisiac as well. Many substances have been said to induce sexual desires as well as to enhance intercourse.
