Book Description

December 14, 1998
Of all Nature's secrets, none have been pursued more eagerly than her aphrodisiacs -- those substances rumored to arouse sexual desire, fan the flames of passion, and boost sexual drive and vigor. Through the centuries the search for aphrodisiacs has produced an array of substances "guaranteed" to enhance sex -- everything from oysters, shrimp, and the infamous Spanish fly to human sweat, bull genitals and powdered rhinoceros horn.

Is there any truth behind the sexy reputation of such fabled aphrodisiacs? Are there natural substances that can enhance sex? If so, which ones? How do they work -- and why?

NATURE'S APHRODISIACS examines those questions, separating fact from fiction, superstition from science in a well-researched, comprehensive guide to Nature's aphrodisiacs and what they can do for you.

NATURE'S APHRODISIACS takes a fresh, candid look at natural aphrodisiacs and brings you up-to-date on what works and what doesn't. You will explore the aphrodisiac power of herbs, aromatherapy, pheromones (odorless sexual attractants), foods, and nutritional supplements. What's more, you will learn natural ways to affect your levels of neurotransmitters and hormones -- body chemicals that control sexual desire, pleasure, and performance.

NATURE'S APHRODISIACS examines psychological aspects of sexual arousal, as well. It offers a variety of natural substances to calm the mind, alleviate anxiety, and make you feel like singing, "I'm in the mood for love!" It also discusses natural therapies for erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, premature ejaculation, and frigidity.

NATURE'S APHRODISIACS is an invaluable quick-reference. It is also a good read. You will explore these and dozens of other intriguing topics:

**The "sexiest," most-hyped vitamin in your nutritional arsenal

**The time of the month when a woman is most susceptible to male pheromones.

**Why you crave chocolate at the end of a love affair

**Over-the-counter and prescription drugs that may be ruining your sex life

**DHEA -- Is it right for you?

**The only FDA-approved herb for treating impotence

**Proteins and carbohydrates: how the order in which you eat them affects your sex life

**Why sweat is a powerful sexual attractant for many

**The hormone most responsible for arousing sexual desire in both men and women

**An herb used in beer that reduces the sex drive in men but increases it in women

**Why the scent of musk is the universal aphrodisiac for both sexes

**The fragrance most sexually stimulating for older men

**Why a low-calorie diet may be your worst sexual enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The latest research on natural aphrodisiacs, September 7, 2001
This review is from: Nature's Aphrodisiacs (Paperback)
Nancy Nickell is an educational writer, lecturer, research, and textbook author in the subjects of food, nutrition, and alternative therapies, In Nature's Aphrodisiacs, Nickell's surveys and carefully examines the latest research on natural aphrodisiacs for initiating, restoring, or augmenting human sexuality for men and women. There have been folk lore and folk medicine with respect to substances found in nature and thought to enhanced human sexuality. Nickell's explores the question as to whether or not there are scientific explanations or verifications for everything from oysters to powdered rhinoceros horn. Nature's Aphrodisiacs clearly separates fact from fiction, and superstition from science, as the non-specialist general reader is capably informed as to what genuine aphrodisiacs really are, and what they can do when properly administered. Very highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library human sexuality reading lists and reference collections.
