Spanish Fly

[Jada59]

I don't know why but my weird little mind just had a flashback to an ad for Spanish Fly. Where did I see this ad? I want to say that it was in a comic book but more likely, some magazine. The ad featured some Latino looking woman in skimpy clothing. Not a real woman but a drawing. The ad told men to buy this stuff for their woman. Said it would drive her so wild she would start having sex with gear shift knob in their car. I remember thinking this seemed odd.

I asked my dad about it. He just laughed and said not to try it as it was poison.

I did just look it up. The old stuff is illegal to use for human consumption. It can indeed be toxic but it said it is still used occasionally for animal breeding. Apparently what it does is cause irritation to the urethra and eventually intense itching. Exciting, no?

Ah but now there is some new Spanish Fly available for sale. It's said to be safe although there is no one formula for it. Seems that different vendors use different ingredients. Supposed to be good for women with no sex drive.

Anyhoo... Anyone have experience with this stuff? Not that I need it myself. Just curious.

When I was a kid my girlfriend and self brought Spanish fly from a sex shop.. All it did was give her an itch which needed scratching as such .. Many years after I found out they use the apparently same formulas for horses and the girlfriend of the time was working at a vet and diluted it down considerably and it drive her wild but unfortunately it did not turn me into a wild Stalin I did not notice any difference to myself

i remember that mechanics illustrated and popular mechanics both advertised Spanish fly in the ads in the back i always wondered about it, never tried it.

now on the opposite extreme, i think it was salt peter that the navy allegedly gave guys via chow hall food to REDUCE horniness that is purely hearsay though.

i have not yet figured out what will make women who generally do not have much of a sex drive have one - but i truly believe the old adage that the one thing that will reduce or kill it is wedding cake

I'm glad it didn't turn you into a wild Stalin. Who needs that headache?

Thank you for saying that. I was going that direction myself. Maybe a Rasputin would be okay, but please! no Wild Stalins.

I've heard folk tales and such of women feeding saltpeter to their husbands. I don't know if it reduces horniness or not, but it is supposed to cause impotence. I never heard of the navy doing it.

Technical Info

Spanish Fly (Lytta vesicatoria) is a blister beetle secreting the poison cantharidin, which causes irritation, blistering, bleeding and discomfort.

These effects can escalate to erosion and bleeding of mucosa in each system, sometimes followed by severe gastro-intestinal bleeding and acute tubular necrosis and glomerular destruction, resulting in gastro-intestinal and renal dysfunction, by organ failure, and death.
​

It can kill in very small does. In a 1954 manslaughter case, cantharidin was administered in a coconut-flavoured candy as an intended aphrodisiac, resulting in illness and eventual death of two women, and in facial blistering and criminal conviction of the perpetrator.

As an aphrodisiac for females, the cantharidin ingested is excreted through the urethra and irritates the labia. The body responds to the irritation by vaginal lubrication, a mucosal coating to protect and flush it away. Unfortunately, cantharidin attacks the mucus membrane of the vaginal track just making things worse.

Most Spanish Fly preparations are an aphrodisiacal disaster. The pussy (and woman) easily becomes uncomfortable everywhere. And woe to the guy who doesn't use a condom to protect his dick.

You can figure out that the murder must have gone down on the women, transferring some of the junk to his face.

Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) has been proven to have no effect on male potency. Stories of it being used by the military are apocryphal.

I heard that my uncle was given salt peter on his wedding night. Not sure who gave it to him. But it did cause him some problems. Not sure what those problems were though.
