Papayas do not necessarily kill male libido. What it does is kills any chances of an erection. That is because papayas contain the enzyme papain, which is found in analgeiscs like Papase. South American indigenous peoples have been using papayas for millennia as meat tenderizers.

In Philippine cuisine, unripe papayas are also used to tenderize beef and chicken. Think about that next time you plan to have papaya as part of your breakfasst or for dessert.

Papaya with lime/calamansi: found in many hotels and hostels around Thailand and Indonesia. I started enjoying my papaya that way after eating it in Thailand a lot. The calamansi or lime enhances the heavy flavor of the papaya.

Green papaya is supposed to be an abortifacient, or so the herbalists say. Sort of emergency contraception if eaten early in the conception phase.

some people eat unripe papaya. . . yeah not underripe, unripe, I have encountered some asian salad recipes that include unripe papaya in it and here in Maldives the locals eat them unripe straight from the tree. . .

I love underripe papayas dipped in vinegar! I used to buy it from the vendors outside our school. I also like eating ripe papayas with calamansi or dipped in condensed milk. Yum!

I love ripe papaya for breakfast or dessert. Growing up, I preferred eating unripe papaya with nothing (no vinegar or salt) than the cooked one, like in tinola or ginisang papaya.

I used to hate them too as a kid, and to this day when I see one, I get flashbacks of weekend mornings with my mom laying before me a bowl of oatmeal and (gulp!) a huge slice of papaya. Ugh. I do have other, happier memories of it, though – the branches of our backyard papaya tree made excellent straws for blowing bubbles & gave me many moments of pure childish bubble-icious delight!
