Random Dumb Sh*t Aphrodisiacs: Do they whet your appetite?
Posted By Maria Fisichello on Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 5:03 PM
On Valentine's Day, love and sex seem to go hand in hand with food.
We buy our lovers chocolate candies and dine on luxurious meals to get turned on for the evening. Throughout the ages, humankind has attempted to discover the arousal abilities of different foods. It is believed that certain sumptuous nibbles, such as oysters and strawberries, are powerful aphrodisiacs. Though we are told by the FDA that no foods have been proven to pump up the sexual appetite, sometimes it's just more fun to believe otherwise.
Some of these legendary libido boosters include chilies and curry. The spicy foods raise the heart rate and make you sweat, hence the thoughts of a spicy romp in the sac. The musky scent of truffles are said to stimulate and sensitize the skin to the touch. The phallic shape of asparagus and the nipple-like qualities of strawberries and raspberries induce sexy thoughts. Oysters and mangoes will forever be known as aphrodisiacs because of the way their look and texture seem to strongly remind men of the female sweet treat.
Do these sexy cuisines really turn up the heat? Maybe not — but what's the harm in checking?
