The data in this study are descriptive qualitative where the results show an aphrodisiac effect. The primary data were then analyzed descriptively by the research objectives, while the quantitative data were processed by tabulation. Based on the results of the introducing activity study the K2 treatment (0.93 times) was greater than the other treatments, although the value was still small. The results of the research on climbing activity in the K2 treatment (0.55 times) were greater than the other treatments. The absence of aphrodisiac activity (coitus) in this study indicated a slow response to sexual activity, requiring a longer time to respond to female mice that were in estrus.
