Spanish Fly- Is this Aphrodisiac Safe to Improve Sexual Performance

The use of aphrodisiacs, as substances that are used since ancient times in order to stimulate sexual desire in both genders, transcends all age, religious, racial and cultural boundaries. In other words, we all want excellent, great and even better sex life.

The word aphrodisiac comes from the Greek word aphrodisios which means “associated with Aphrodite” the ancient Greek goddess of love. There are literally hundreds of different beverages, foods and herbs that were used for this purpose and one of the most popular among them is the Spanish Fly.

Of all the aphrodisiacs that have been discovered over all these centuries, the Spanish Fly is the most famous, but what is even more important, the most dangerous remedy that supposedly enhances sexual desire and sexual arousal in women.

Spanish Fly remedy is prepared from an insect with green color called Lytta vesicatoria which creates and secretes a substance called cantharidin in its body. The remedy is prepared from dried insects, grinded to fine powder in which various additives are added later. All these ingredients are then incorporated in an aqueous or alcoholic base. The mixture is consumed orally in the form of drops or capsules. Cantharidin as an active ingredient is known as a powerful irritant (it can cause irritations on the skin and mucous membranes). If it reaches the skin is creates inflammatory bubbles almost instantly. So, the question is – would someone like to drink something like this?

The reason there is a belief that the Spanish Fly can improve sexual performance is the fact that this remedy after consumption leads to irritations of the entire system through which it passes – mouth, esophagus, intestines, kidneys and in the end – the urinary tract. This inflammatory response causes increased blood flow in the urogenital area which can be experienced as sexual arousal. In fact, this is not an excitement, but just a regular inflammatory irritation. This means that the Spanish Fly poisons the whole body.

But, why do many people still show interest in this remedy? They want to maintain a hard erection and lasting longer in bed. Probably because it is very dangerous and it is therefore interesting. 

The Spanish Fly is dangerous for the entire body and we will mention only some of the most negative effects.

First of all, it affects the digestive system. Women start to experience burning sensation in the throat and esophagus right after the consumption. Soon after that, they will feel burning sensation in the stomach too. It is not unusual to feel thirst. In some cases, these problems can be so intense that women need urgent medical assistance.

Furthermore, the Spanish Fly also lead to various neurological side effects which can manifest differently in different people. Confusion, anxiety, psychosis are some of the most common problems associated to this so-called aphrodisiac.

As mentioned before, the Spanish Fly can cause inflammation of the urogenital tract. One of the mildest side effects related to this mixture is frequent urination. Women often have to go to the toilet every couple of minutes. There are also some more serious complications and inflammation of this system too.

So, if you are looking for an aphrodisiac, please skip the Spanish Fly and choose another, safer option.
