Stretching the data: There was a small study showing a decrease in plasma testosterone (& increase in fsh and lh) in rats given peppermint tea vs water: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/15302514 these findings do not transfer to humans, though. A later study in hirsute women (not men) showed peppermint tea reduced their androgen levels: http://tinyurl.Com/met9dmj generalizing to men's sexuality would be a leap.
