aphrodisiacs

Food and drink have long been associated with love and the ability to increase sexual desire and passion. Fruits, vegetables, and spices, herbs, seafood, and alcoholic beverages all have their place on the romance menu.

Some reasons why certain foods are considered aphrodisiacs are the shape, color, spiciness, and aroma. Aroma is especially important for men -- the smell of pumpkin pie, lavender, and vanilla have been shown to increase blood flow to you-know-where!

One important point, though, men -- the traditional "manly" meal with lots of fatty red meat is a anti-aphrodisiac. After consuming a fatty meal, testosterone levels can plumet 30%! Stick to the light foods when romance is in the air!

As for alcohol, a little is all that is needed -- too much will just put you in a stuptor. Champagne is the classic aphrodisiac beverage, known as the "the drink of love."
