...Ancient Indians were quite keen on this subject, and the Kama Sutra, believed to have been written in the 4th or 5th century, describes 11 ways to charm the opposite sex with drugs, 13 types of aphrodisiacs, four ways to enlarge the penis, and several drugs that weaken sexual desire. The Ratirahasya (The Secrets of Erotic Love) (date unknown, before the 13th century) also lists drugs to increase sexual energy, drugs to enlarge the penis, drugs to enhance female sexual arousal, and drugs to shrink or expand the female genitals.

There are also a variety of drugs, such as a drug that can make a penis like a horse's in less than a minute when applied, a drug that can enlarge breasts, a drug that can expand the labia, a drug that can make a 50-year-old woman's genitals as small as a virgin's, and a drug that can remove pubic hair from the vagina. …
