In the Orient it was especially highly priced among women. According to the Indian herbalist H. K. Bakhru, nutmeg mixed with honey and a half-boiled egg will prolong the duration of the sexual act if taken an hour before intercourse. It has some structural similarity with mescaline, the hallucinogen from peyote cactus. The aphrodisiacal qualities of pepper are not quite clear. Thus, older references to pepper as an aphrodisiac could actually concern a different spice.
Black pepper are the dried, unripe fruits, and white pepper the dried, ripe fruits.
The reputation of pepper being an aphrodisiac goes back to Antiquity, when it was used by Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The Arabs not only added pepper to food, but used it other ways. This will produce for you, as well as for the woman, a matchless enjoyment. A way to increase the size of the penis is, according to the same source, to prepare a powder out of pepper, lavender, galanga and musk, mix it with honey and preserved ginger, and rub the penis vigourously with it. Indian sources recommend a daily consumption of a glass of milk with six crushed black peppers and four crushed almonds.
