While the concept of aphrodisiacs has been around for centuries, it's important to note that:
* Scientific evidence is limited: There is little scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of most substances claimed to be aphrodisiacs.
* Placebo effect: Some substances may have a psychological effect, leading people to believe they are experiencing increased arousal.
* Safety concerns: Some substances can be harmful or have dangerous side effects.
It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using any substance claimed to be an aphrodisiac.
