Studies show that for a person to actually achieve a negative chemical response of some kind, they would have to eat over 20 pounds of chocolate.... If you think is heavenly, you're not alone. If you come across a double strawberry, be sure to break it in half with someone special… an old legend promises that this will bring true love.

Can certain foods truly stimulate sexual desire, or is it all in our heads? Research shows us that it's mostly the latter -- but when it comes to aphrodisiacs, we should never underestimate the power of sensual suggestion. Between 25% and 63% of American women many of them postmenopausal have some type of sexual dysfunction. Basically, foods considered aphrodisiacs are those that aim to stimulate the love senses sight, smell, taste, and touch. But can food, or even the simple act of eating, put you in the mood for love? The answer is YES -- but not in the way you might think. No food has been scientifically proven to stimulate the human organs. But foods and the act of eating can suggest to the mind, which in turn can help stimulate desire in the body. And it certainly doesn't hurt to stack the sexual odds in your favor by enjoying foods you and your partner find sensual! Foods that resemble male or female genitalia were believed to increase desire. The infamous oyster is one example, as are some fruits, and root vegetables like carrots. Reproductive organs and eggs fish roe and bird eggs, animal genitals were thought to increase sexual desire and potency. Foods considered rare and consequently expensive were believed to be sexually exciting. When many of these foods, like potatoes and cocoa, became more widely available, their reputations as sexual stimulants waned. Foods that stimulate the senses sight, smell, taste, and touch in a pleasurable way were thought to stimulate passion. Continued Erotic Edibles Through History Throughout history, vegetables like onions, turnips, leeks, squash, asparagus, artichokes, and watercress were thought to not only stimulate desire, but also increase. Shapely fruits like the apple and curvaceous pear were seen as erotic edibles. Alas, despite the sexual exploits attributed to their powers, oysters are made up of elements that cannot possibly chemically stimulate the genitals of either sex -- namely water, protein, carbohydrate, fat, some salts, glycogen, and tiny amounts of minerals like and. Apparently, the oyster can thank its shape and squishy texture for its aphrodisiac acclaim. In the early 1980s, researchers thought they had solved the mystery of our love affair with. They detected the chemical phenyl ethylamine PEA in. PEA is a central stimulant, usually present in the human , that is thought to help arouse emotions. But the human body actually absorbs very little PEA from -- not enough to affect our emotions, anyway. So, it seems the sexiest thing about chocolate is its taste and melt-in-your- texture -- which, in my estimation, is not too shabby! In 14th century Europe, the spice trade from Asia added herbs and spices into the aphrodisiac equation. Historical accounts suggest that many of these foods ­ like cloves, anise seed, , ginger, white pepper, cardamom, and thyme -- had sterling aphrodisiac reputations in their native regions. The fact that potatoes both sweet and white were new to Europe in the 16th century helped perpetuate the belief that they possessed sexual powers. Other vegetables joined their aphrodisiac ranks in the 16th through 18th centuries, namely carrots the vegetable, juice, and seeds and the juice of asparagus. By the 18th century, the influence of phallically oriented foods, such as eel, carrots, and asparagus, had taken shape pun intended. Various bulb vegetables thought to resemble testicles, like the onion, were thought to affect a man's potency. Continued Other than their appearance and shape, there are five other qualities of foods that are thought to elicit sensuality. Why not try to serve a dish that fits into each of those categories? And speaking of food characteristics, remember that subtle is sexier than in-your-face. Phallic and shapely foods, as well as the exotic and rare, will probably always be in aphrodisiac fashion. But these days we appreciate foods that suggest sex with a whisper instead of a shout. Let's Not Forget the Placebo Effect A placebo is an inactive substance -- like a sugar pill -- given to a research participant who is under the impression it is a drug. So if a person thinks eating raw oysters will give a jolt to her and sexual stamina, her anticipation of this powerful effect can help it come true. Memories of Foods Past You can also capitalize on foods from your sexual past -- perhaps foods that you ate before or during a particularly pleasurable sexual encounter. Or take this a step further and start making new history with your spouse or partner. So let the sight and smell of certain foods take you back to that sexy, provocative time you shared together. Continued With Alcohol, Less Is MORE As far back as the late 16th century, scientists documented both the sexually inhibiting and enhancing properties of alcohol. How much is too much? The amount of alcohol that would impede us as a driver seems to also impede us as a lover. This might be anything more than two drinks a night for men, and one drink a night for women. The Nose Always Knows Finally, don't underestimate the suggestive power of scent. Certain smells -- like chocolate chip cookies, bread, or apple pie baking -- fill our minds with visions of favorite foods as they tantalize our taste buds with anticipation. Scents can also bring back memories or feelings from pleasurable past experiences associated with that smell. You may remember a study a few years back that found men responded more powerfully to the scent of baked cinnamon buns than any perfume. A combination of the scent of pumpkin pie and lavender was also a hit. For women, the sexiest scents included licorice candy, cucumber, and banana nut bread. Light those candles or the fireplace for a relaxed, seductive atmosphere. And keep your scene for as clutter-free and clean as possible. In terms of food, select whatever dishes visually suggest sex and seduction to you and your partner. Consider color and shape as well as texture and taste. Set the mood instantly with music. This might mean piano concertos, steamy jazz -- even a CD of the sound of waves crashing on the shore. And don't forget the sound of your own voice. On this special night, express your feelings to your loved one. Share what you love -- your favorite things about your partner physical and nonphysical. You get the picture! Stay away from smelly foods like cooked cauliflower or cabbage. If you go for garlic, keep it subtle or try roasting it it will taste delicious and won't be overpowering. You can also fill the room with romantic scents from scented oils or candles. There are so many ways touch comes into play during a romantic evening. If you have finger foods, eating is all about touching. The texture of the rug or blanket in front of the fireplace, the feeling of sheets under your -- all send sensual signals to your. But perhaps the best way to stimulate this sense is by touching each other. Not only is it stimulating to get a , it can be truly tantalizing to give one. Try one of the wonderful scented massage oils and creams available at stores like Bath and Body Works. Serve small portions of foods that stimulate your taste buds without overwhelming them. Very strong or spicy foods can backfire, so serve them with caution. And a dessert that's subtly sweet try semi-sweet chocolate beats an extra-sugary one. Remember, you want to leave the wanting more.

Furthermore, dark chocolate contains anadamide which works in the brain to increase dopamine production, making you feel great all over. In terms of food, select whatever dishes visually suggest sex and seduction to you and your solo. Both Phenylethylamine and Seratonin are substances that can be mildly addictive, hence explaining the chocoholic. Acts as an energy booster. Here are three of them.
