Spanish Fly

As mentioned, the Spanish Fly liquid was originally extracted from male Spanish beetles; the intent is to emulate these male beetles that use the Spanish Fly chemical to seduce females into having sex with them.

Currently, the chemical has been reproduced in a laboratory at highly concentrated levels.

The Spanish Fly liquid is intended to increase sexual stimulus, improving the disposition towards sexual activity and also improving the mood. As stated, the Spanish Fly is actually a beetle native to southern Europe that is described as having a “strong smell and a burning taste.”

Apparently, the beetle was dried and crushed, and originally used as a diuretic and an irritant, but soon recognized to be a powerful aphrodisiac. According to the website, its effects only work on women, as it has the ability to produce an itching sensation in “sensitive membranes” that may increase a women’s “desire for intercourse”.

As discussed, Spanish Fly is marketed as an aphrodisiac meant to be administered to women by men who wish to seduce them; while the actual formula will only have an effect on women, men will supposedly benefit as well.

This method may be appealing for men who feel that the ladies in their lives need some help in getting turned on. However, for men experiencing different conditions in terms of sexual relations, such as impotency or loss of sex drive, a concentrated formula will not be fully supportive of male health. In these cases, an oral supplement in the form of a capsule would probably be a wiser choice.

Men have many choices of oral supplements, and products containing herbal blends tend to be effective for increasing libido, stamina and even testosterone levels. Herbs such as Tribulus Terrestris or Yohimbe are popular extracts used in male enhancement formulas; Tribulus has been shown to help increase testosterone levels in clinical studies and Yohimbe is often used to treat impotence because it increases blood flow to the penis. Use of products containing these potent herbal extracts will help enhance sexual performance and help boost confidence enough so that external aids will not be necessary.

We appreciate that the marketing of Spanish Fly provides information on the source and history of this liquid extract, and that it offers a word of caution that the liquid should only be administered with full consent from the consumer. Still, the marketing suggests that women who drink this liquid “will be at the mercy of any man in sight”, which could lead to uncomfortable or inappropriate situations. We believe that those who feel they need a little help when it comes to sexual performance or enhanced sex drive should be in full control of their own personal treatment. And frankly, we are not sure what the effects of a product such as this might have on male sexual health.

The intent of this type of aphrodisiac is to simply boost sexual desire in the other person, but does not address issues of male health. For men experiencing difficulties getting or maintaining an erection or who have felt a decline in their libido, the condition may be more serious than an aphrodisiac can manage. As discussed, an oral supplement containing potent herbal extracts will help get the system back on track.

The herbal extracts Tribulus Terrestris and Yohimbe are both widely used to enhance male sexual health; increasing testosterone levels and enhancing the erection quality will help guarantee an improvement in sexual performance, and will help ensure a more satisfying sex life over the long term.
