There is a widely circulated rumor that in the Romanian army they used to put a small quantity of bromide (sodium or potassium? don't know) in the evening tea; it is not supposed to prevent an erection, but total lack of sexual desire. This was 30-40 years ago, I was not able to find any official documents related to that, but any men over 50 years old is telling that story.
