Do aphrodisiacs get you in the mood for love or is it all just wishful thinking?

Do certain foods make you feel sexual? Sadly, the answer to this question is no.

However, do certain foods give you a better chance of feeling sexual should things move in that direction? The answer to this question is yes... sometimes.

The truth is no foods can directly arouse you sexually but certain foods can boost your energy, kick start your hormones and destress your mind - all of which are conducive to a night of passion.

Perhaps the most well know aphrodisiac are oysters. Some people say a plate of oysters will have you tearing your partner's clothes off as soon as you get home.

Although this is obviously an exaggeration, oysters can help you get in the mood for love. This is due to their exceptionally high zinc content which studies have shown is essential for both male and female fertility.
