Lizard Lothario

When you ask an Herbalist at a Chinese apothecary what the effects of a certain item might be, regardless of whether it's rhino horn ($500 for a horn as long as a butter knife) or dried deer bladder ($20 50g), the discussion eventually gets around to the fact that the remedy in question is guaranteed to make you, ahem, ‘more manly’.
The object pictured is a dried lizard on a stick, about $10; you swizzle it in a bowl of boiling water to make a sort of soup/tea/Viagra goo...take a sip and then I suppose you can go out and have your way with every lizard in the neighborhood.
Don't forget to call the next day.
