Cupid's Arrow - A Guide to Ancient & Modern Day Love Potions

Since life began man has searched for ways to increase his own pleasure of sex and to make himself irresistible to lovers. Over the centuries a wealth of lotions and potions has developed as the perfect solution to increasing libido, stimulating the sexual organs and increasing man’s attraction to the opposite sex.

‘Aphrodisiac’ - also called ‘love potion’ - describes anything that increases libido and stimulates the sexual organs, ranging from simple herbs and natural substances, to many other dubious techniques, some dangerous in the extreme. Yet aphrodisiacs have uses other than to make sex more enjoyable and in some parts of the world where marriages are arranged between parties who may never previously meet, parents often administer them in the hope of attracting love and romance to the relationship.
