Giving androgens to women sometimes does, but that has other
side-effects. Amphetamines and some other recreational drugs can
increase libido but they also have other side-effects, including
decreased performance. If you can discover an aphrodisiac that works
and has no significant side-effects then I don't need to tell you you
will become very rich.
