The horn of the rhinoceros differs considerably from all horns that can be found in other mammals. The Rhinoceros Horn is actually no horn at all, but is made up similarly to the skinhorns (Cornu Cutaneum) that are found as pathological growths frequently in other mammals including Homo sapiens. This alone is ample proof that it cannot act as an aphrodisiac since the horn is comparable to the epidermis which definitely can never contain sexual hormones such as testosterone.
