A spanish fly could either refer to a cocktail or liquid drops meant to be added to a beverage to get the consumer to feel a little more amorous. Either way you take your on-the-path-to-date-rapey artificial horniness enhancers, there are some things you should know. A) they are named after a real life insect, B) the insect is known for causing men to get erections, and C) the erections are not pleasant and a spanish fly of any sort isn’t likely to have any real effects on women.
“Non-pleasant erections?!” you say? “I don’t believe such nonsense!”. Spanish fly usually refers to an acid-like chemical called cantharidin that is found in several members of the blister beetle family (Spanish Fly is a beetle. Not a fly. I don’t know who names these things.)
Dangit I should’ve said “spoiler alert”! Now I practically gave away the fact that the cantharidin found in these beetles causes blisters. Oh well. I can still ruin erections for everyone! If you manage to ingest this chemical you could fall victim to burning, inflamed urinary tract that can cause the whole penis to become erect. It’s no surprise considering that cantharidin has been used to remove warts and tattoos. This stuff means business.
So if you happen to see an attractive, metallic green beetle wandering around DO NOT rub it on your junk. DO NOT grind it up and sprinkle it in your girlfriend’s drink. AND DO NOT stash it in your frenemy’s underwear drawer for a good laugh (wink wink). Seriously though - don’t. Too much cantharidin is fatal. It scores a .5 on the LD50 scale.
The LD50 scale is used to score toxins by exactly how much it takes to be a “Lethal Dose” in “50%” of lab mice. it is measured in milligrams per Kilogram - as in how many milligrams it takes to kill a Kilogram of living thing. So a score of .5 means that about 10mg can kill an average adult.
Okay - so it wouldn’t be that easy to get 10mg inside you by accident. But still - you don’t want a pain in your peehole. So just remember: Spanish Fly will not lead to a fun evening
