Vitex Agnus-Castus is a mediterranean tree which flowers are known for centuries to reduce male desire. In France these flowers are used as a pepper named "The Monk's pepper" given its anaphrodisiac properties. In ancient Rome, Pliny in Historia Naturalis says Athenian women used it to 'cool the heat of lust' of their husbands during ritually chaste periods of the year called Thesmophoria.
The analysis in laboratories has indeed shown it contains hormone precursors as well as flavonoids, agnusides and alkaloids.
The berries can be used to replace your pepper in the Kitchen, the taste being more bitter than the usual black pepper.
I've heard some use some fluid extract at awakening to maximise the anaphrodisiac effect. If you do not use pepper regularly or do not cook often for yourself, you might directly use these pills :
