Although this record is not from the official history, its credibility is still relatively high. Abuse of aphrodisiacs is not only popular in the palace, but also in society. In view of this, Gao Lian in Ming Dynasty refuted the abuse of aphrodisiacs in Eight Notes on Jingsheng. The main idea of his article is that diet and sexual intercourse between men and women are great desires of life, which can neither be prohibited nor indulged. If you indulge your lust without restraint, it will lead to physical fatigue and impotence. Some people want drugs for aphrodisiac and use drugs to satisfy their desires, while those remedies are also for their own interests, selling their prostitution and drugs. They sent some warm medicines here, falsely claiming that there are many strange prescriptions on the sea and countless names. Gao Lian listed all kinds in the article: "Those who enter the ear have ear beads; Those who enter the nose have fragrance; The entrant has agarwood; The person holding it in his hand has a purple bell; Those sealed in the navel are protected by cream; For the waist, there is spider cream; There is an inherent danger in what turtles contain; Those turtles that wipe them have three plums scattered; Those who bind their turtle roots, Shannon; People with bellies have dragon and tiger clothes; Rub your turtle's long stem; People who accept their vulva have spring every night; Those who plug the anus have diamond wedges. " All listed above are external aphrodisiacs. Through skin and mucous membrane absorption, help temporary sexual desire. After long-term use, heat toxin accumulates in the body, often complicated with various difficult diseases. Sometimes carbuncle is caused by heat toxin, and sometimes it occurs in penis and anus, which leads to the ulceration of glans penis and anus. In addition to aphrodisiacs, there are oral aphrodisiacs, such as Taoyuan Mibao Pill, Ursodeoxycholic Acid Pill and Guan Jingfu. The harm to human body is more serious than that of external aphrodisiac. "Drug poisoning is a mistake, and ten servings and nine deaths are inseparable. It is often a disaster and it is broken. " The composition of aphrodisiac is analyzed only according to the thermal toxicity of these drugs, such as gecko, hippocampus, Cibotii, Yanyan, actinolite, nidus vespae and so on. Occasionally, there is no big harm. If it is abused for a long time, or the body is weak, the yin is exhausted, and impotence occurs, it will be relied on to tonify the yang. Over time, it will cause the fire to move wildly, burning the true yin and losing the yang, then your death is approaching.
Abuse of aphrodisiac will have serious consequences, and it is also a kind of harm to society. The correct approach should be to master certain sexual knowledge, find out the reasons for the disharmony of sexual life, and go to a sexual medicine clinic when necessary for treatment by a doctor.
