Aphrodisiac Anniversary Party!

Need an idea for a sexy dinner party? Maybe you have an anniversary coming up? Prepare a menu for your significant other with aphrodisiac foods. I'd do the appetizers at home, then go out for the oysters and have dessert back at home. Add simple tea candles to compliment your table. Happy Tuesday! xoxo, Julie

Champagne
Viewed as the "drink of love," moderate quantities lower inhibitions and cause a warm glow in the body.

Caviar

It's high in zinc, which stimulates the formation of testosterone, maintaining male functionality.

Figs

Asparagus

Three courses of asparagus were served to 19th century bridegrooms due to its reputed aphrodisiac powers.

Radishes

Considered a divine aphrodisiac by Egyptian pharoahs, most likely because its spicy taste stimulated the palate.

Oysters

Some oysters repeatedly change their sex from male to female and back, giving rise to claims that the oyster lets one experience the the masculine and feminine sides of love.

Chocolate

Contains both a sedative which relaxes and lowers inhibitions and a stimulant to increase activity and the desire for physical contact. It was actually banned from some monasteries centuries ago.

Banana

Due not only to its shape, but also its creamy, lush texture, some studies show its enzyme bromelain enhances male performance.

Truffles

Probably due to its rarity and musky aroma, it has long been considered to arouse the palate and the body. To sustain his masculinity, an ancient lover in lore was said to have gorged himself to death on Alba truffles during the wedding feast.
