A few days ago, I started thinking about all the silly things people have eaten, in the hopes that there is some truth to this whole “aphrodisiac” thing.

Since nearly the dawn of time, people have wolfed down anything and everything on this big, spinney planet, in the hopes of leading that special someone into uncontrollable circus-style sexual abandon.

Now, there has always been a raging debate as to whether many supposed aphrodisiacs even work. Many things are lumped into that sexy category simply because of a vaguely phallic or vaginal shape, in the hopes that semi-subtle erotic suggestion will stoke the fires. Frankly, I think the fact that we see MUCH more suggestive things on billboards, magazines, television, or the internet, has pretty much killed the novelty of deep-throating some asparagus.

So I’m going to focus on things that actually have a chance of doing something physical to your libido.

After all, we know Viagra and Cialis work because they actually cause a re-direction of blood flow. Isn’t it possible that some natural herbs or food combinations could create a subtle physical change as well?

Over the next few days, my daring assistants and I intend to find out that answer.
