The search for artificial means of enhancing sexual experience is
timeless and can even be found in the opening passages of Genesis
(3:7) where Adam and Eve discovered sex as they took a bi te of the
forbidden fruit: "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they
knew that they were naked. " While others may interpret the
"opening of their eyes" as simply an awareness of male and
femaleness, John Milton and others regarded the forbidden fruit as
an aphrodisiac and in Paradise Lost, described in greater detail
what happened: "But the false fruit For other operation first
displayed Carnal desire infiarning. He on Eve Began to cast
lascivious eyes; she hirn As wantonly repaid; in lust they burn. "
Not only did Milton regard the "forbidden fruit" as an aphro
disiac, he also identified it as an apple, and an apple it has re
mained until this day. Sexual behavior has always been one of the
most fascinating and attention-arresting activities in human
history and there has been no decrease in the fascination and
curiosity it still arouses in the human psyche. 1 2 Introduction As
timeless as the topic of sexual behavior is that of aphro disiacs.
For example, after the "forbidden fmit," the Bible specifi cally
identified mandrake as an aphrodisiac (Genesis 30:14-17): "And
Reuben went, in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in
the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah."
