I’m thinking about using an aphrodisiac on a girl with little experience who has trouble getting wet. Does it actually work? Has anyone used one? If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Also, what do women think about using them?

One day, my longtime girlfriend said she was feeling rough with a cold and wanted to drink some CheongKwanJang, so I went to the pharmacy with her. Wait—one bottle costs four digits? That’s more expensive than Yunker! Apparently, drinking it helps a cold get better… Then, when we had sex afterward, she said she could feel sensations throughout her body and wondered if it was because she had drunk that. Years ago, there was a time when I often bought supplements like maca or Sugō Jū from adult shops and took them the day before or right beforehand. To keep from noticing the unpleasant smell, I would split one with her and take it together just before. I thought it was only supposed to mask the smell, but when she started feeling sensations and said, “Maybe it’s because of that…,” I was surprised and thought: “When people convince themselves of something, do they really start to feel that way?” Maybe it was like those group experiments with athletes, where they used empty capsules as a control and got effects comparable to the group taking the real capsules—results significantly better than the group that took nothing… Even taking an energy drink or cold medicine together might have a psychological effect. This was Paper Airplane. That said, I recommend an electric massager. If that still doesn’t work, you may have to rely on lotion. Ideally, though, it would be better if you could avoid using lotion.

I’m Rin, a female member. No way. If you’re not getting wet, there may be another reason besides lack of experience. Start by figuring that out.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer as well. > I’m thinking of using an aphrodisiac on a girl who doesn’t have much experience and has difficulty getting aroused. I think you’re approaching it the wrong way. In that situation, using lubricant would be better. You can buy it at places like Matsumoto Kiyoshi, so I’d suggest picking some up. > I’m thinking of using an aphrodisiac. Do they actually work? There are videos on YouTube of women trying them for themselves, so you could watch those and decide which one seems best. That said, aphrodisiacs are expensive, and their effects are often unclear. You may feel like they worked a little, but at the same time, things may not really seem any different. So I don’t think it’s worth fixating on them.

I’m Flagmaker, a columnist. As Seattle said, I think women are more likely to prefer something like “love lotion.” “Aphrodisiacs” sound way too shady, and wouldn’t you hate to drink something containing ingredients you know nothing about? You could even be reported to the club and permanently banned. You should absolutely stay away from them.

I’m in Seattle. Honestly, I think using lotion from a drugstore would be a hundred times quicker. I always use lotion. It doesn’t hurt, and it’s comfortable.
