ArtichokesArtichokes are believed to help with sexual stamina which is why many people note that this food has strong aphrodisiac qualities. Eating it by hand with your love one, dipping it into a nice sauce is not just giving certain chemicals to your body, but just watching it will fullfill your eyes' desire. |
AsparagusAsparagus are known for their aphrodisiac qualities. Legend has it that the day before a wedding, the French couple would have three meals that include asparagus in them in hopes of increasing their libido for the honeymoon. It is believed that aspartic acid neutralizes the ammonia in the body that would ordinarily cause lethargy and sexual disinterest. That's in addition to the belief that this food increases libido. |

GingerGinger is considered an aphrodisiac because it stimulates the circulatory system. The obvious implication is that it may also stimulate arousal which really helps heat things up. Create a nice cocktail for your special valentine day dinner, do it with fresh ginger. |

OystersA study found that the amino acids that are in oysters may produce testosterone in males and progesterone in females, which increases libido. Researchers suggest that if males are having difficulty with stamina, oysters might just be a solution. |

CeleryCelery is said to stimulate the pituitary gland which is essential in releasing sex hormones. Raw celery has also been used for centuries as a cure for male impotence. Celery dipping is the best for foreplay. |
