  The erotic power of food has been celebrated for centuries. Greek and Roman cultures enjoyed a parade of ripe fruits and exotic dishes before engaging in sensual pleasures. While in China shark-fin soup is considered the ultimate aphrodisiac, but do aphrodisiacs really work?

  By definition, an aphrodisiac is a food that arouses or intensifies sexual desire.  While certain foods can enhance sexual desire, the most important aspect of a so-called aphrodisiac is how the person eating it relates to it.  For example chocolate contains phenylalanine, an amino acid that raises the endorphins which can translate to increased sex drive.  However if you are stress-out, depressed and alone eating a box of chocolates will do nothing for your libido.

  The most important thing to know about aphrodisiacs is that your brain the truest aphrodisiac.  Your thoughts have a greater impact on your libido than any food ever will.  If all day you’ve been angry at your partner thinking he/she’s a selfish jerk, then your angry feelings will override any interest in sex regardless of what you eat.  On the other hand, if all day you’re thinking how lucky you are to have such a thoughtful, capable partner in your life then a sensual sampling of aphrodisiac foods will work wonders as a prelude to sex, heightening desire and sensual pleasure.

  So the next time you’re feeling close to your lover and want to have some fun with food, consider these top 5 erotic foods that make eating together a delightfully sensual experience!

  Ice Cream.  It’s cold. It’s soft.  And it’s sweet and creamy.  Ice cream makes you feel good so blending ice cream with sex is a delicious combination.  Since it’s cold, think about licking it off the erogenous zones of your lover’s body.  The sensation of the cold ice cream contrasted with your lover’s warm tongue will make your toes curl!

  Juicy Fruit.  Because of it’s juicy sweet quality, fruit heightens sensuality.  Make a passion fruit kabob with strawberries, kiwi, mango & pineapple chunks.  Take turns feeding your lover and yourself holding the end of the spear.  When you can no longer bite the fruit off the tip of the spear, hold the spear sideways and wrap your tongue around each piece of fruit to gently slide it into your (or your lover’s) mouth.

  Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Enjoy the rich taste and texture of melted chocolate drizzled all over your lover’s body or have some fun with Chocolate Fondue Body Paint. Blindfold your lover and paint sexy words with chocolate on your lover body.  See if he or she can guess the word before you lick it away. Then it’s your turn.

  Oysters. Many foods (bananas, asparagus, avocados) are considered aphrodisiacs because they resemble the sexual body parts such as the penis or testicles.  Oysters resemble the vulva.  The Romans placed oysters high on their list of prized aphrodisiacs.  Casanova is legendary for regularly eating 50 raw oysters for breakfast.  Oysters are high in zinc which is necessary for sperm production as well as D-aspartic acid and N-methyl-D-aspartate, which increased testosterone levels in rats according to one study.  Eat slowly in an intimate setting with your partner.  Watch each other’s mouths take in the oysters and let your mind wonder.

  Wine. A glass of wine or two can greatly enhance an evening of romance. Wine relaxes the body and lowers inhibition. The rich, succulent color of red wine also stirs desire.  Caress the glass, savor the taste on your lips.  Try tasting the wine on your lover’s lips by kissing warmly between sips.  Keep in mind that excessive alcohol will impede arousal and make you drowsy producing the opposite effect.  Stick to a moderate amount for an optimal effect.
