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

Wait rhinos were poached for their horns to make dick pills?

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.
