Spanish Fly In A Spray?

Well, not quite. The blister beetle of old was never really a laudable aphrodisiac for women, but it does have the propensity for inflaming a person’s genitalia after its active ingredient, cantharidin, passes through the urethra, inducing irritation and burning. Of course, that’s after trace amounts are ingested, but a little too much and it can cause permanent kidney damage. Spanish Fly has never been particularly good at getting a woman to want sex more than she might otherwise, especially if she has a low sex drive due to low levels of testosterone.

Science has finally addressed the cause of what used to be called “frigidity”, or rather, the lack of sexual desire or ability to enjoy sex. The Australian company, Acrux has created a body spray which contains male testosterone for women to mist themselves with. Clinical trials indicate that it has been largely successful for increasing the sex drive for both post-menopausal women as well as in young women of low libidos.

Apparently the side effects can include beard growth, increased body hair, loss of hair on the head, greasy skin, and acne. Fun! These effects, one imagines, might contribute to the user of the spray not feeling particularly attractive, which one might postulate may kill her desire in the end anyway, (to say nothing of yours).
