Oysters
One of the most notorious aphrodisiacs, oysters are high in zinc and
have a reputation for being great for love and fertility. Casanova, the
18th century lover who used to breakfast on 50 oysters, has been
vindicated by a study that proves they really are aphrodisiacs. The team
of American and Italian researchers analysed oysters - and found they
were rich in rare amino acids that trigger increased levels of sex
hormones.

Chilli Peppers
This invigorating spice has an exotic reputation and a bright red
color, which could be why it's considered a symbol of love. They have a
wonderful attribute in their ability to release endorphins, natural
painkillers triggered to put out internal “fire.” Endorphins also cause the
high of extreme physical exertion — a floating, energized feeling so
powerful in its pleasure that it can cause addiction to spicy cuisine. Very
well attributed to how you feel when you are sexually aroused.

Avocado
It may be the way the avocado tree bears its fruits (ideally dangling from
the tree in pairs like testicles!) or it could be the sensuous pear
shape, or the rich flavor of the fruit that gave avocado its aphrodisiac
reputation. Avocados have high levels of vitamin E that could help keep
the spark alive because of its role in maintaining "youthful vigor and
energy level." We now know that avocado nutrition delivers a punch of
nutrients essential to sexual health, including beta
carotene, magnesium and vitamin E, (which is sometimes called the
“sex vitamin“)

Chocolate
The very thought of indulging into a chocolate give a sensual
feeling, from its taste to its aroma, but dark chocolate has also been
shown to cause a spike in dopamine, which induces feelings of
pleasure. It is suggested that when someone's in love, his or her brain
produces a chemical called phenylethylamine, PEA acts a lot like
amphetamines in the brain, triggering a release of the hormones
norepinephrine and dopamine to create feelings of euphoria.
