Aphrodisiacs, Fertility And Medicine In Early Modern England (Royal Historical Society Studies In History New Series, 89)

This book argues that aphrodisiacs were used not simply for sexual pleasure, but, more importantly, to enhance fertility and reproductive success; and that at that time sexual desire and pleasure were felt to be far more intimately connected to conception and fertility than is the case today.
