An aphrodisiac is used to stimulate and increase sex drive, pleasure and libido. From the Middle Ages to Now Lots of people know the novel turned film “Perfume”. It tells the story of Jean-Baptise Grenouille. The man who created an irresistible aphrodisiac perfume. It was so strong that the women and men he poured it on tore out into full on sex hunters in lusty orgies. The right dosage of course is the trick. But too much of a good thing can’t be all bad. In the Middle Ages scents weren’t the only aphrodisiacs. Also thought to be aphrodisiacs were various herbs and spices like nutmeg and parsley. Kale was also considered to be one.

As wax pools and cools, a layer will be formed over the skin. A whip or a switch might be just perfect to snap that apart. For any bears among us, though, it might be wise to put a layer of plastic between your body hair and that wax, unless you are into a really, really, really painful finish!
