Aphrodisiac refers to a variety of food, drinks or drugs widely believed as capàble of stirring sexual desire to those who consume or ingest them.
Many pleasure-seeking individuals though, get hooked into using drugs and other illegal substances as means of powering up their libido. Methamphetamines (crystal meth), methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (ecstasy), cocaine and marijuana and other mind altering substances, are also endorsed as aphrodisiacs even if largely proven as unsafe.
The Need for Information about Natural Aphrodisiacs
A great deal of information about natural aphrodisiacs, present safe alternatives to those that seek to improve their sex lives. Still, not a few are in doubt if they are indeed effective. After all, most information were derived through studies of ancient culture and traditional practices, often criticized as lacking in scientific backing.
Some websites are bold enough to guarantee their efficiency, whilst offering a compilation of information about aphrodisiacs, which they seem to have proven by way of personal experiences.
Do aphrodisiacs work? We know the answer! is their outright response.
Yet there is one type of non-food or non-substance that some portend as having aphrodisiac effect: POWER. There are discussions delving on power, when possessed by those that have complete authority or control over other people can naturally boost sexual drive. One such example is presented by way of a play entitled as “Aphrodisiac.” This was initially presented as a Broadway show in 2005 and later revived for a limited engagement in 2016.
About “Aphrodisiac,” the 2005 Broadway Play Written by Rob Handel
“Aphrodisiac” is a dark comedy with a political theme written by playwright Rob Handel. The Broadway play conveys the idea that having political power tends to boost one’s libido. Presumably inspired by former U.S. president Bill Clinton’s 1995 thru 1997 Monica Lewinsky sexcapade, the play’s “Aphrodisiac” title insinuates the idea that having power can increase sexual drive.
If rumours about JFK’s, as well as Donald Trump’s extra marital activities, had been proven, the concept of political power as an aphrodisiac may be amply supplied with evidence.
The play though revolves around a Washington DC Congressman who, like Bill Clinton, explored his sexual prowess through one of his interns. The similarity though ends there because the intern disappeared, and later found to have been killed for some unknown reason. Since there were already rumours about the Congressman’s affair with the intern, the politician was questioned by police authorities.
The play expounded on how rumors of a person’s moral corruption while in tenure as a distinguished political figure, affect the people around him. Such scandals disappoint not only his constituents but also his children. It puts his family in an awkward position of getting caught up in a drama of intrigue, seduction and betrayal, which can impact their sense of loyalty.
