In this chapter code of conduct related to sex, dietary regime, qualities of normal sperm, factors affecting virility, qualities of sexual partner, role of mind in infertility, aphrodisiac and therapeutic formulations etc. are described. Simple and easy to prepare formulations are described in the chapter. Though these are described for males but we can apply same principles and formulations to female also for more preponderant effect. [[Vajikarana]] is generally misinterpreted as sexology.

Experienced ayurvedic physicians create vajikarana formulations based upon the properties of individual dravya and needs of the individual.
