Aphrodisiacs: What Actually Works (and What’s Total Nonsense)

Description

Everyone’s heard the stories — oysters, chocolate, red wine, rhinoceros horn (please don’t). But do aphrodisiacs really work, or is it all in your head — and bloodstream?

In this episode, Robert and Anna dig into the science (and the scams) behind so-called love potions. You’ll learn which natural compounds actually affect libido and arousal, what modern research says about oxytocin, PT-141, and tadalafil, and why “turn-on chemistry” has a lot more to do with the brain than the bedroom.

They separate myth from medicine with humor, data, and a little shameless curiosity.
