Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, aphrodisiacs are substances (including food or drink) that are purported to arouse or increase sexual desire. Among the most widely touted aphrodisiacs are caviar, frog legs, oysters and truffles.

Champagne – The relaxing, intoxicating power of this bubbly beverage has dramatic aphrodisiac powers when paired with a mutual attraction. Better yet, it is a wonderful accompaniment to oysters and caviar!

Chocolate – Perhaps the most sensual food there is, chocolate contains properties that cause the brain to release serotonin, a hormone responsible for feelings of relaxation and pleasure. The effects of chocolate are so powerful that it has been banned in some monasteries. Formulations with higher concentrations of cocoa will be most effective, so choose dark chocolate for optimal results.
