What are the merits of eating Balut?

Balut is considered as an aphrodisiac

it also increases one's stamina

Generally sold late at night or early morning, balut is consumed by Filipino males for its alleged aphrodisiac properties, while women eat it for reasons such as energy and nutrition, but never as a sexual stimulant. Balut as an aphrodisiac is "para lang sa lalaki ito" (it is just for men).

Answer 8

Eating balut is the only known cure for the craving for balut.

Consumed with beer, and dipped in salt,  it gives such satisfaction.  

Taken in sufficient quantity, and in the cold and late hours of the night,  with beer,  one could get through the night without sleep.   Anyway,  who would want to sleep in the cold and late hours when someone warm is beside you in bed?
