There is a widespread myth about what people want rhino horns for—in fact, two myths. The first myth is that ground rhino horn is an aphrodisiac. This, I think it’s safe to say, is just what it appears to be—superstition. It has little to do with any known medical fact, and probably a lot to do with the fact that a rhino’s horn is a big sticky-up hard thing. The second myth is that anyone actually believes the first myth.
