Venom, actually. Venom is injected, poison is ingested. Not all venoms/poisons are intended to kill, both in the animal world and the world of humans. Sometimes, they're simply intended to incapacitate.

Clearly the creatures of the MGE that have venom use it to incapacitate rather than kill, similar to how certain parasitoidic wasps use their venom to incapacitate spiders or other such to lay their eggs upon.

The difference is that in the MGE, they don't use their prey as a source of food for their young. They use them as a sex toy.

And yes, it's fully possible to create an injectible aphrodisiac, which is obviously a major component of MGE venom.
