The Book of Aphrodisiacs - 1980

"This beautifully illustrated reference book contains over 550 alphabetically arranged entries pertaining to a wide spectrum of sexuality. Each entry has been carefully researched and botanically indexed by Dr. Raymond Stark... Aphrodisiacs, contraceptives, abortifacients, and other drugs of sexuality are very nearly as old as mankind. Some of them have been known and used only in the past; whereas others still are in use today. Reference to numerous medicinal values of the items in this book are for the most part based on folklore and/or naturopathic experience. Unless specifically mentioned, they are not accepted medicinal agents employed in modern scientific medicine..." - The Book of Aphrodisiacs - Raymond Stark N.D.
