Plinio the old one, recommended eggs as venereal exciters, and in another occasion he makes reference to the stimulating virtues of the horse's testicles and the right testicle of the ass, with a glass of wine (animals of big sexual attributes). The influence of Plinio on the medieval people had many forms, and in medicinal questions he enjoyed of great authority amongst the doctors, as can be seen in his prescriptions in that time.

Empiric Marcelo, for example in his work of De medicamentis libri, of great popularity and whose first edition appeared in 1536, picked up on and spread the beliefs about eggs and testicles according to Plinio, but with a little bit of his own personal touch. Empiric explained to those who were lazy in sex matters that, even more effective than eggs were the testicles, mainly if they were prepared with honey and were eaten for three days straight. Their healing effects were in this way certain and immediate.

These are just two examples of alcohol and the effects it can have on humans sexually as you will read in the following.
