‘Aphrodisiac’ Foods to Help You Get Lucky on Valentine’s Day

Who doesn't want to get lucky on Valentine's Day? People will do many things to get lucky any day of the week, but Valentine's Day seems like a big reason for it. There are a lot of products out their that say they'll help get you or your partner in the mood to enter Poundtown: Population 2. Do these things really have any affect or is it a placebo sort of effect. If it is a placebo effect, maybe you should get some nutrients out of whatever you're using to get things moving (figuratively & literally.)

Throughout history different cultures have written about, and used, different foods and herbs as aphrodisiacs. People still talk about them to this day. So what are some aphrodisiacs you could use in your Valentine's Day dinner? The folks over at Eat This, Not That made a list of 7 foods that will bump that libido.

Oysters - Ok, tough start to sell my wife on eating snot in a shell.

Avocados - Perfect. The kids wanted tacos tonight so we'll make some guac. Do you have to just eat the avocados by themselves or can they be made into guac? Eat This, Not That said:

Berries - Looking for an extended session on Valentine's day? Better start cramming some blackberries down your gullett. The stuff in berries, called flavanoids, may help men last longer.

Some other foods not mentioned in the article that are considered aphrodisiacs are figs, honey, bananas, red wine, asparagus, and almonds. If you're looking to get some help from dinner tonight try making saffron and pistachio covered oysters, with asparagus and some guac on the side. For desert some blackberries, figs, bananas and almonds. Wash it all down with a couple glasses of wine. That all sounds terrible together, but if you combine enough aphrodisiacs, one of them has to work! Good luck!
