An aphrodisiac is a substance that is believed to increase the sex drive and the level of sexual arousal.
A recent study
indicates that caffeine might be an aphrodisiac for women who consume it infrequently. The study was based on the
reactions of female rats, who showed a "notable increase" in their sex drive and more likely than other
female mice to mate multiple times. From this data, scientists naturally felt that the behavior of these rats was
likely to apply to human women due to their belief that the desire for females to have sex is a social construct of
both species.
Caffeine is a mild stimulant and triggers the brain to respond in the same way, though on a lesser scale, as stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines. Drugs of this nature have an addictive quality and people who consume caffeine on a regular basis can develop a tolerance to its effects, while others will almost immediately feel a boost of energy.
