10 of the strangest aphrodisiacs from around the world..

Aphrodisiacs are a common part of every culture, and each culture claims they have what it takes to get you in the "mood." Some people say eat nuts, some people say basil, others say cinnamon... and then there is of course viagra...

This list takes a look at the ones society might consider a bit weird:

1. The Cobra: This is a fave in some parts of Asia. They believe you should eat the meat and blood to get those juices flowing..

2. Fugu (Pufferfish): Before I even start this I want to warn you that if this is not properly prepared it will kill you... very poisonous. Japanese classic- after you eat it your lips and cheeks will tingle, then you will probably feel some movement downstairs.. 

3. Birds nest soup: Strange- and completely like the name of the dish- it is made from the bird the swift's nest. the nest is actually made out of its saliva. Very expensive- will make your underwear fly right off (or so I'm told)

4. Maca: This is actually a chemical kind of like a steroid found in the Andes mountains. 

5. Balut: Again from Asia, this bad boy is called the natural Viagra. 

6. Rhinohorn: Highly illegal, from one of the most extinct animanls in the world. African men crave it for the reason that it "cures impotency" (That is in quotations because it has been proven highly untrue)

7. Ambergris: Oh you are going to love this... It comes from the digestive tract of the Sperm whale. Joy!! A lot of old Arabic books say to use it in the bedroom as well. 10/10 would not try

8. Giant leaf cutter Ants: These have been very popular gifts in South America. pull off the legs and wings- roast 'em up, and you got yourself a crazy night ahead of you.

9. Sea Cucumbers: These are not a vegetable, actually they look like giant sea slugs. Pretty gross, but they are high in vitamins- and they will help you pitch a tent. 

10. Baboon Urine: Zimbabwe. Just. Why..

Alright, here is what we learned today, a lot of people have different ideas of what is ok to eat. I'm sure if you went to people who drank Baboon Urine, and told them to eat cobra they would laugh at you and call you a freak show. So maybe give them all a try.. But not alone, that might make for an uncomfortable evening. You can always try other natural aphrodisiacs like mangos, strawberries, and such.. Or you might just want to try your local doctor for some prescription medication like Viagra or Levitra.
