ABSTRACT
Increasing response to sexual stimuli in healthy people taking a specific fenugreek seed extract
(Testofen, Gencor Pacific Ltd) by mouth seems to improve ability and interest in sex in males.
Sexual problems that prevent satisfaction during sexual activity. In this study, we evaluated the in
vivo aphrodisiac activity of the fenugreek seed extract against haloperidol induced sexual
dysfunction. After dosing, the sexual behaviors of male rats were observed, recorded, analyzed,
and compared with those of the vehicle group. The results show that the extract significantly
decreased the intromission latency of sexually naive male rats and the extract improved a range of
other measured sexual parameters. The results suggest that the extract could enhance libido as well
as facilitate erectile function in male rats and that could contribute to the libido-enhancing activity
of this ethnomedicinal herb.
