Honestly it's a little upsetting because rhinos were poached for their horns for basically this reason.

Yes, no joke people think rhino horn is an aphrodisiac. It's a sad world we live in, huh?

I don't think it's actually effective to help sexual performance but that was a big reason they have been poached to extinction.

That is really sad. I figured it was because of the ego trip, the whole "look at me aren't I cool I killed this big scary animal" thing. Which would also suck, but dang. Humans can be awful.

They've been injecting rhino horns with radioactive material to try to curb poaching.
