Abstract: Ingestion of Salvia fruticosa by adult Sprague-dawley rats at levels of 800 mg kg ^-1 body weight for 30 days was investigated for its effects on sexual behavior. Salvia fruticosa powder was orally administered to sexually active rats in a daily dose of 800 mg kg ^-1 body weight daily for 30 days. The sexual behavior was then monitored by trained observers on Salvia fruticosa treated rats and control rats that received vehicle. Testosterone serum level was measured in both treated and control rats. Salvia fruticosa ingestion significantly reduced the mount, intromission and ejaculation latencies. In addition, a significant increase in the copulatory efficacy was reported. Testosterone serum level was significantly decreased in Salvia fruticosa treated rats compared to controls. The present study concludes that continuous ingestion of Salvia fruticosa dried root for a period of thirty days improves the sexual motivation and performance in adult male rats. This effect can be ascribed to increased testosterone level.
