Let me elaborate.
In Chinese medicine, red ginseng is more active and better for sexual activity that involves visible blood flow - red engorgement - because it’s red, which is the fire color. Think of this like pokemon types including the ridiculous logic of some pokemon and their ridiculous types.
So, anyway, red penises or whatever are like that because they are fire type. If you stop being a red rocket for some reason, clearly you need more fire energy.
Red ginseng has more fire energy than regular white ginseng under the argument that steam - made with fire you see - is transmitting the fire energy into the ginseng, thus turning it red, thus getting those sweet hot flames directly into your genitals. Also, sexism: don’t give it to women or they become restless, which is just Confucianism for alarm that women can be horny too. This is why China is crazy-go-nuts for American ginseng under the supposition that because it grows in the mountains where mist is, it has more “water” energy, and because water is wet, water energy makes women wet. Despite the fact, yknow, Misty Chang bai ginseng mountains are the same Minecraft biome as Appalachia.
Confucius: Not even once.
This is ridiculous, but you can’t argue with the results, and so nobody did until Korea came along to get serious about its national product.
So what it turns out is that the ginsenosides in the ginseng are made into shorter chains when blasted with the steam, and those shorter chains are more bioavailable both for the human and for whatever gut processing makes ginseng do what it does. I personally suspect it has to do with vasoactive peptides which are implicated in both gut function and breast/penile/clitoral tissues, but whatever.
(As an aside, it’s entirely possible my analytical and empirical approaches are why I got the great reward of Timmy duty? Maybe?)
