Fruit As Aphrodisiac?

I live here in Davao City and it is located here in the Philippines. Its an island nation located in the south east Asian region. My hometown is known for the fruit claimed to be an aphrodisiac by those people who have eat this. This fruit is called Durian which is also known as the king of fruits in south east Asia.


First, lets have a little overview about this fruit. The fruit called Durian by appearance is large and its husk is covered with thorns so it is very important to handle it with care to prevent injury to yourself. Inside the fruit has chambers with seeds covered with rich and creamy light yellow flesh (pulp) and each fruit would have varying numbers of pulp depending on the size. Next, this fruit also has strong odor which has contradicting effects to people. Some people are entice by its odor while others despise it especially to those people who have first encounter with the fruit. Its odor is so intense that bringing this fruit is prohibited in hotels, hospitals and other public places in some Asian countries. Lastly, this fruit has a rich and mild sweet buttery taste that no other fruit can be compared to. To people who have first tried eaten this fruit will have an impression that "its smells like hell but taste like heaven".


Now that this fruit has been introduced, lets now focus on to the main topic. Does this fruit really have an aphrodisiac effect? A lot of people that I know in my hometown that consumes Durian during its harvesting season especially in the month of August states that it really has an aphrodisiac effect. After consuming this fruit, they said that they feel that their body warms up and as they eat more and more, their body heat increases to the extent that some experiences excessive sweating while others even take a bath just to cool down their body temperature. In Indonesia, their people even has a saying called durian jatuh sarung naik or "the Durians fall and the sarongs comes up". Sarong by the way is a clothing which is a long tube of fabric that is often wrapped around the waist and worn as a kilt by men and as a skirt by women. So you probably get the idea what will happen to men who eat this fruit.


Other benefits from the fruit is that it provides a great deal of carbohydrates, proteins and fats so it is a good source of energy which is practically great in heated situations wherein a great deal energy is use by couples. It is also rich in Vit. C, potassium and tryptophan which is an essential amino acid needed by our body. For me, Durian is a very interesting fruit. Once you tried eating one pulp then you will get hooked and end up eating the all the pulps of the Durian fruit and demands for more. Unfortunately, the aphrodisiac effect of Durian is still not proven since no scientific studies that could back up this effect are present nowadays. I would highly suggest to people curious about this fruit to try this and to prove if it really indeed has aphrodisiac effect but be very careful if you have diabetes or hypertension since this can spike up your blood glucose levels and blood pressure if eaten excessively.
