Spanish Fly Drops?

And you want to mess with this stuff why?

Spanish fly, or cantharides as it is sometimes called, is often given to farm animals to incite them to mate. The cantharides excreted in the urine irritate the urethral passages, causing inflammation in the genitals and subsequent priapism. For this reason, Spanish fly has been given to humans for purposes of seduction. It is dangerous since the amount required is minuscule and the difference between the effective dose and the harmful dose is quite narrow. Cantharides cause painful urination, fever, and sometimes bloody discharge. They can cause permanent damage to the kidneys and genitals.

Further info:

Cantharides are illegal in the United States, except for use in animal husbandry and by licensed physicians for the topical treatment of certain types of warts. Some Internet or mail order suppliers of sex stimulants advertise such products like "Herbal Spanish fly", "Mexican Spanish Fly", or "Spanish Fly Potion". Most of these products are simply cayenne pepper in capsules, sometimes blended with the powder of ginseng, kelp, ginger or gotu kola. The products with the name "Spanische Fliege (Spanish fly)" that are available in Germany represent no danger with a normal application since they contain the active substance actually only in homeopathic dosage, diluted to be effectively non-existent.

The stuff you linked has yohimbe extract in homeopathic amounts so the chances that it works beyond the psychological is not proven.

Ginseng, Yohimbe, Horny goat weed do not have proven effects in any of the amounts that would be in things like this.

But I 'spose if you want to believe it works then more power to you..
 
I can't find a list of ingredients, can you?

It's not smart to take things that don't tell you what's in them or take any kind of supplement without sufficient research. If you do, you're very likely to end up wasting your money on an ineffective formula or have negative (and perhaps even life-threatening) side effects.

The wiki on Yohimbe says there is some anecdotal evidence that it improves blood flow (because it's a stimulant), but the margin between an effective dose and a dangerous dose is very narrow. That's important info and should tell you it's unwise to buy stuff with unknown ingredients and doses of ingredients that could harm your health or kill you.

You're probably too young to remember, but ephedra (in all its various forms) was all the rage as a metabolic aid and stimulant for a long time, too. It was in all sorts of things, from diet pills to drinks to gum & candy. Because it was unregulated, it took a while for the government to figure out tons of people were getting hooked on and having all sorts of health problems from it. Plenty of people died before it was banned.

So, if you want to spend your money on something that may or may not be effective, and may or may not harm or kill you, go for it. What you're very likely to get from "novelty" potions like this is a placebo effect. However, on the chance they're poorly formulated and contain too much active Yohimbe or whatever, you could end up with medical or funeral bills for that $7 bottle of stuff you decided to take.
 
I have tried Hot Plants and that actually did have an effect. You can look on line for it. Of course everyone is different but here is some info on it...

Hot Plants™ for Her was developed in collaboration with medicine hunter Chris Kilham, a leader in the field of plant medicine.
This formula is based on the findings in his book, Hot Plants, a guide to herbal support for sexual fulfillment.
To develop this natural herbal formula, Kilham traveled to remote areas of the globe in search of native healers with traditional remedies for female sexual enhancement.†
