Alcohol and “weed”, popularly thought to be effective aphrodisiacs because they lessen inhibition, often have the opposite effect.

Fren,
Chocolates are perhaps the most effective “aphrodisiac” because they stimulate the brain to produce chemicals that make you feel happy and/or elated. Hehehe! Effective ba sa yo?
