Oysters
This slippery shellfish packs a punch with zinc, which is essential for men’s reproductive and sexual function. You and your sweetie can also have fun shooting them down with horseradish and marinara sauce, or for an Asian twist, steam them up with some black bean sauce and ginger.
Asparagus
Is it the shape of this lithe vegetable? Whatever it is, this vegetable has been known to arouse men and women.
Garlic
Don’t let the stigma of this pungent bulb scare you away. Garlic is not only an antioxidant, but also an aphrodisiac. Heat up your evening by roasting some in the oven or sautée them with asparagus.
Tomatoes
The French call them “apples of love.” Tomatoes are versatile in almost every Asian recipe. Try cooking a famous Sichuan dish: stir-fried tomatoes, scallions and eggs.
Ginseng
Because there are more than 200 varieties of this root, I suggest you ask a legitimate herbalist about which root is right for you and safe to drink in moderation. Ginseng has been touted as an aphrodisiac, maybe because it gets your blood flow going.
Chocolate
Montezuma downed some 50 cups of chocolate everyday to keep up with his harem of 600 women. But since this velvety concoction carries calories, a small amount of good chocolate will suffice.
