Why Have Humans Searched for Better Sex throughout History?

My apologies. I am a day late on my new post. New posts will be each Wednesday and Each Monday. I have a concussion unfortunately. Ever tried to write something with a screaming headache?

Excuses aside, here is my latest.

Historical reasoning for the human hunt for libido enhancements


Historical reasoning for the human hunt for libido enhancements and satisfying sexual encounters. This is a central part of the human species and always has been central to our existence (procreation).

This again will touch on things are referred to as aphrodisiac in nature.

Ancient literature is filled with glowing references to those substances, scents, internally-visual, aural, (culinary seduction) and stimulants. Humans throughout history have recorded that their use was fairly common in every society.

Searches and researches of man from ancient to modern, reveal civilizations were and still are intimately familiar with the art and chemistry of Aphrodisiacs. The search for ultimate Aphrodisiac is still active to this day.

Aphrodisiac lore passed from civilization to civilization. Documentation of this phenomena discovered in Cave drawings more than a thousand years old. From Romans to the early Christian era, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and into modern times.
Myth or Magic we have come to call these substances, visuals and scents Aphrodisiacs.

If something seems to provide a sexual stimulant , what would it have to do in order to be effective? If something is an aphrodisiac, what happens in the body and brain when we are sexually stimulated?

It all comes down to “hormones” for both men and women.

Testosterone specifically in men and women seems to be the key. Testosterone balance to be precise. Testosterone levels power sexual excitement in both men and women.

Sex drive is controlled by our hormone levels, testosterone being the base eliment.

If the balance is off, the body does not function as it should. When the balance is rectified, the libido kicks in to overdrive.

When the libido is balanced, a chain reaction begins when we see, feel, think, touch, hear, smell or encounter something sexually stimulating.

Our brain recieves signals from the limbic lobe via the nervous system to the pelvic area of the body. These electronic messages tell the blood vessels to dilate.

Dilation creates an erection in both men and women. Female erectile tissues are found in the clitoris which is actually a small penis and becomes erect , as well as the tissues around the vaginal entrance during sexual stimulation. The vessels then close up so erectile tissues stay erect. The erection is accompanied by rapid heart beat.
