Aphrodisiac Products

An aphrodisiac is a substance which is supposed to provoke or stimulate sexual desire.

Popular medicines of all cultural traditions have extolled the aphrodisiac virtues of foods, plants or remedies of all kinds to improve the disposition towards sexuality, promote libido or amplify orgasm and romantic pleasure.

The substances released during sexual activity have a direct impact on our morale (Pascal de Sutter, sexologist) starting with the endomorphins, the precious hormones of happiness (“cuddle” hormone) which act as an anti-stress shield.

Love results in profound hormonal variations:

• phenylethylamine: the natural amphetamine of love. It is found in chocolate,
• oxytocin: the attachment hormone, secreted in all monogamous animal species. It reduces stress, anxiety, tension and allows you to stay “Zen”. It is produced during orgasm, caresses, cuddles.
• endorphin is favorable to good sleep,
• serotonin brings good mood,
• testosterone increases libido.
