Since time immortal, certain foods and drinks have been thought to have qualities that contribute to the increase of sexual desire, performance, and/or romance.
While I guess there is no scientific proof that aphrodisiacs work as some people hope, some people think that because they affect the body by increasing things like heart rate, they are thought to directly affect things positively. I thought there might be more than just one person who might be interested in these substances, which came to my attention recently in an email! :) What are some of the aphrodisiacs you have heard of that make you or your seetheart feel or act more romatic or loving?
Saffron
While excessive doses causes uncontrollable laughter, saffron, the stigmas of the crocus flower, can be fun in other ways! It has stimulating properties on the erogenous zones and it has similar effects to that of hormones.
Vanilla
Vanilla's scent alone indirectly acts as a sexual stimulant. The bean itself can be used in recipes in hot chocolate as a great aphrodisiac. Add a couple drops of vanilla essence (extracted from real vanilla beans) to your bath for a pleasurable effect.
Asparagus
It has been reported that asparagus turns women off as much as it turns men on. It is a diuretic -- this stimulation for men is one reason why it is called an aphrodisiac. Why for women? Just look at it!
Walnuts
Ancient Romans threw walnuts instead of rice at weddings because they believed that walnuts held powers of fertility.
Grapes
Wine is not the only form in which grapes can hold aphrodisiac properties. Even unfermented grapes are thought to have stimulating properties.
Oysters
Probably the most well known of all aphrodisiacs, oysters are a healthy food that are rich in phosphorus, iodine and zinc, which is known to increase the sexual health of both men and women. Legend holds that Casanova ate 50 raw oysters every morning with the lady du jour.
Clove
One of the most powerful natural aphrodisiacs. It is also effective against mental and physical fatigue as well as memory loss. In essence form, take two or three drops in honey every day.
Fennel
Greeks and Hindus are those who believe that fennel is good for sex drive. The Greeks used the leaves and seeds in dishes and wore the leaves as crowns during festivities.
Ginger
For thousands of years, ginger has been used in drinks to excite the senses. If used in small amounts, it causes hot flushes and in large amounts, it irritates intestines.
Ginseng
This plant is a very powerful hormonal stimulant. It is reported that ginseng gives people enough sexual energy to last quite a while.
Nutmeg
While nutmeg is not as effective on women, its powers definitely are not wasted on men.

2 more!
Caviar
Sturgeon eggs contain a large amount of vitamins and phosphorous. (Try caviar with vodka for a real experience! )
Celery
Celery has a long history of use as an aphrodisiac. It contains vitamins A, C, B, P and minerals. It is excellent for the muscles and liquefies the blood. But most celebrated as an aphrodisiac are the celery seeds. Crush them to spice bread or an oil-vinegar salad dressing.
