The answer

Stimulants for sexual desire are either natural, such as certain vegetables, fruits, legumes, and herbs, and consuming them in moderation is permissible unless it leads to a religiously forbidden harm, in which case only the harmful type is prohibited. Or they are chemically manufactured, such as drugs and pills prepared for this purpose. Their permissibility and prohibition depend on the presence or absence of harm. They often have serious side effects on body functions and may lead to death. Therefore, the general rule is to prohibit them as a preventive measure against self-destruction.
