Among the Hindoos, in order to make the penis "prevailing" the following was done: They stroked it "with honey mixed with the powder of Datura alba, pepper shrubs, and Piper longum." It is also said in the Kamasutra: "Euphrobia neriifolia and Euphrobia antiquorum, cut into pieces, provided with a powder of red arsenic and sulphur, pressed seven times and rubbed into a powder, rubbed on the penis with honey, makes it prevailing."
