aquatus1 Posted September 30, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Wow, people are still talking about Spanish Fly? I haven't heard about that since I was in hgih school! In all cases, Spanish fly is a type of beetle that, when dried and powdered, wa ssupposed to make you horny, but really was only a mild stimulant. Red Bull, the power drink, has more of an effect on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skeptic Eric Raven Posted September 30, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I thought it was supposed to be based on the qualude. None of it really worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pax Unum Posted September 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2006 but really was only a mild stimulant. FYI, Spanish fly, or cantharides as it is sometimes called, is often given to farm animals to incite them to mating. The cantharides excreted in the urine irritate the urethral passages, causing inflammation in the genitals and subsequent priapism. For this reason, Spanish fly has been given to humans for purposes of seduction. It is dangerous since the amount required is minuscule and the difference between the effective dose and the harmful dose is quite narrow. Cantharides cause painful urination, fever, and sometimes bloody discharge. They can cause permanent damage to the kidneys and genitals.

aquatus1 Posted September 30, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) For the sake of clarity, anything, particularly pharmaceuticals, taken in doses beyond those that are safe, will result in dangerous effects. Since Spanish Fly is something that one will not find at the local drug store, obtaining some from any illegitimate sources should be regarded as unreliable in terms of dosage (even though chances are good that you just paid thirty dollars for an aspirin). As Pax pointed out, Spanish Fly was only ever used to any effect for the stimulation of male farm animals (and, let's face it, the male isn't usually the one in need of aphrodisiascs). In women, will act like the stimulant that it is, and result in agitation, tachycardia (increased heart rate), and nervousness. While it is true that some of these symptoms could be mistaken for sexual excitement, they can also prelude pulmanary breakdown, which would ruin the mood entirely. In short, stay away from the aphrodisiacs. They just don't exist for humans. Edited September 30, 2006 by aquatus1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquatus1 Posted October 1, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Red Bull makes you horny??? Ahh...no. Red bull makes your heart beat a little faster. I suppose some might consider that enough. Personally, even if Red Bull made one horny, it also gives one a rather nasty aftertase, and is hardly the most romantic of drinks. There has never been any aphrodisiasc shown to work on humans in a reliable manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't claim to understand why but many females I know seem to think that Russell Crowe works well as an aprodisiac reliably. Still that's only 50% of the population eh?

Atheist God Posted October 2, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Spanish Fly is supposed to make you irresitable to the opposite sex. Unfortunatly there are more factors involved in male to female attraction then merely smells. Aphrodesiacs (spelling?) do not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they do, as [HCG hormone injections,] in particular, will make most men horny. For women, pure testosterone works very well. However, I do not advocate these for people who aren't already deficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An aphrodesiac is supposed to make 'you' irresistable to the opposite sex not 'horny'. Spanish fly is considered an aphrodesiac. BTW taking steroids such as testosterone will shrink your balls. If you want to get it up take viagra... making your self get a hard on is not making you irresistable to a woman. Looks, pheramones, body language all contribute to how attractive you are to a woman or a man depending. Aphrodesiacs do not do this. Hormones do not make you attractive...

HCG makes your testicles bigger. It's what the pituitary releases. Your definition of an aphrodisiac sounds more like Granny's Love Potion off of the Beverly Hillbillies, in which case a uninary tract irritant such as Spanish Fly, would hardly compare.

You definition of an aphrodisiac sounds more like Granny's Love Potion off of the Beverly Hillbillies, in which case a uninary tract irritant such as Spanish Fly, would hardly compare. HCG may be released by the pituitary gland but introducing it into your body in large ammounts as juice monkeys do causes unbalance in you hormone levels. It can cause very nasty side effects. The worst side effect is that your body no longer produces this chemical naturally which results in the shrinking of your testicles and little to no sperm count. HCG taken in small ammounts over a short period of time may actually be benificial to steroid users. As the saying goes too much of anything is a bad thing. As for my definition of an aphrodisiac it is quite correct. Spanish Fly is one of those supposed magic potions that is about as effective as the fictional love potion mentioned above. BTW there is no such thing as an effective aphrodisiac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
