They don't really exist, unless you maybe count Viagra as one. Most reaction that we have to something is based on a simple system in the human body and our mind. Our body gets "arroused" (meaning adrenalin starts to flow, heart rate goes up, etc.) and we tend to think it's in reaction to what we're experiencing at the time. This was shown by a test some scientists did years ago. First they took some normal people and showed them a bunch of similarly-themed films and had them rate them. They then took the ones that were rated as "mildly X" - mildly funny, mildly sad, mildly erotic. They then showed these films to some people who had been injected with a "normal" amount of adrenalin to simulate "excitement" as described above. All these people rated the "mildly" films as "very X" instead.
