Two quotes on coffee

Found while reading Harper's magazine this afternoon: the Women's Petition against Coffee, Representing to Publick Consideration the Grand INCONVENIENCIES Accruing to Their SEX from The Excessive Use of that Drying, Enfeebling LIQUOR (London, 1674) - in which we learn that coffee's

Riffling Nature of her Choicest Treasures, and Drying up the Radical Moisture, has so Eunucht our Husbands, and Crippled our more kind Gallants, that they are become as Impotent, as Age, and as unfruitful as those Desarts whence that unhappy Berry is said to be brought.

(Original emphasis. Oh, how I love the seventeenth century...)

There is also a Men's Answer, "VINDICATING Their own Performances, and the Vertues of that Liquor, from the Undeserved Aspersions lately cast upon them by their SCANDALOUS PAMPHLET", in which we learn that coffee

Collects and settles the Spirits, makes the erection more Vigorous, the Ejaculation more full, adds a spiritualescency to the Sperme, and renders it more firm and suitable to the Gusto of the womb, and proportionate to the ardours and expectation too, of the female Paramour.

I don't recall either of these being mentioned in The Devil's Cup (a history of coffee drinking, from Ethiopia to the Starbucks, which pays particular attention to the scandalous and humourous bits like this) - but maybe I've just forgotten.
