that people would take, stuff like yohimbe, which is the bark from a tree in Africa. I think humans have been taking aphrodisiacs for all of human history; in fact there are many things that are eaten as aphrodisiacs particularly in Asia that probably are not at all effective and that come from endangered species which have been poached. I think it was probably under the table in sexually repressed cultures, in the same way birth control was and the west is less sexually repressed now than it has been since probably the 20's or so...only now the pharmaceutical industries have gotten into the game and learned how to make money off this stuff.
