Throughout history, rightly or wrongly, many gustatory delights
have been termed aphrodisiac foods, in the belief that consuming
them contributed to one's desire for the opposite sex. For the
most part, the foods had less to do with the mood, than the
tom-foolery that went along with eating them!
Asparagus - Believe it or not, this green stalk, reviled by your
kids, was considered a phallic symbol and sought after by women
in yesteryear.
Avocado - Cut it in half, and you have the appearance of female
genitalia. But the ancient Aztecs name for it was Ahuacuatl, or
testicle tree. The fruits generally hang in pairs, which
explains the strange term. But in the centuries since its
discovery, the creamy flesh has been considered a boost to
romantic moods.
Oysters - Do they or don't they, raise any questions about their
effect on men and lovemaking? Actually, oysters contain zinc,
which is known to impact the body's progesterone, which in turn
is right there to liven up the libido.
Ginger - As with other spices, ginger stimulates the body's
circulation. Improved circulation to the erogenous zones, makes
them more sensitive to stimulation. Ginger added to a variety of
dishes can make a banquet that leads to the bedroom.
Fruit - While many have beneficial properties for the body,
whether any add to the arousal when eaten, is a good question.
After all, sometimes a strawberry is just a strawberry. But a
strawberry held in your lips and shared, can bear fruit of a
different kind.
Chocolate - Beloved by women of all ages, in all eras for its
sinfully rich, and sensuous texture as it melts in the mouth.
But actually, chocolate contains natural ingredients that
release serotonin in the brain, a chemical that induces
relaxation and creates a sensation of pleasure. For additional
delight, choose dark chocolates that have a higher quantity of
cocoa, and thus, more amore to the almondines!
