Aphrodisiacs have always been the Viagra of the romantics, which is probably why so many people waste their time trying them out when none of them actually work. (Of course, although neither one is truly 100% effective, at least one of them can be very tasty.)
Nonetheless, when the iVillage blog Sex On My Desk wrote about them a while back, we decided we'd see if we could find other aphrodisiacs that worked... while, um, not actually getting around to trying any of them ourselves...
Here's what Sex on My Desk talked about:
1) Caviar. Ennh-- no.
2) Truffles. Why, yes, Room Service... you wouldn't happen to have any... truffles... would you? Oh no, there's no one in the room with me...
3) Oysters. Any excuse to eat oysters, particularly if it's Tuesday's All-You-Can-Eat Oyster night on the Lower East Side of Manhattan...
4) Espresso. This one has to be psychological-- you do a jolt of this stuff, you'll have some get up and go! It just makes sense that you'd be able to convince yourself you're in the mood.
5) Garlic. Um, we don't think any significant other has particularly enjoyed sex with us after we've eaten an everything bagel.
6) Chocolate. Actually, this one has been hotly debated for years. Emphasis on hotly, since we've had close friends admit it worked.
7) Bananas. Well, depending on whether you're in the mood for a blow job, this one only works when you watch someone eat it...
They forgot strawberries (well, chocolate covered ones work) andgrapes-- which Jack the Ripper may have used to either a) lure pros into his carriage or b) to turn them on... or both. Also, when we were in San Juan, Puerto Rico back in the day, we ate at Ostra Cosa on our birthday because it was supposed to give its patrons incredible sex... via its dishes. Unfortunately, their logic is that the spicier their food, the more sex you have... when, in fact, their scale of 'Oh!'' to ''Wow!!'' to ''Ay Ay Ay!!!'' was actually a reference to your exclamations on your first, second, and third trips to the bathroom.
What else? Can anyone seriously claim aphrodisiacs, especially specific ones, have worked for them?
