by Adina Gheorghe

What are aphrodisiacs?
Aphrodisiacs are products or practical modalities that awaken sensuality and stimulate the erotic experiences. The term of aphrodisiacs comes from the name of the Greek love goddess Aphrodite.
There is a very large range of natural aphrodisiacs that are renowned to induce a burning passion, heightening the sexuality to the rank of art.
The five senses: smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing are very close connected to the sexual function. Stimulating them adequately arouses the sexual appetite and amplifies the amorous experiences.

Olfactory aphrodisiacs
Smell plays a very important role in arousing sexual desire. For example, when you make love, you can have your eyes closed, you may not hear anything and yet you can feel the smell of your lover.
In all times and all over the world, people have concerned themselves a lot with pleasant smells. They have prepared all kinds of perfumed oils and have used for this purpose aromatic plants with aphrodisiac effects.
Certain volatile oils or natural essences arouse the amorous desire and stimulate the senses. They can be used for the aromatization of a room, for perfuming the bed clothes, you can put them in the massage oils or in the bath tub.
Choose a volatile oil (or a combination of volatile oils) that both you and your lover like and create an appealing environment from the olfactory point of view in the room where you are about to make love. Use for this a sprayer and an aromatherapy lamp. You may pour a few drops of volatile oil also on the bed clothes.
Here are in the following a few volatile oils and their aphrodisiac properties:
• Patchouli volatile oil

Gustative aphrodisiacs
