Sex Food 1: Oysters
The Food of Love: Even in his sexual prime, Casanova supposedly consumed 50 oysters each day to keep his libido in top form. Oysters were documented as a aphrodisiac food by the Romans in the second century A.D.
In reality oysters are a very nutritious and high in protein. These slippery critters are full of zinc. Zinc controls progesterone levels, which have a positive effect on the libido. Zinc deficiency can cause impotence in men, so any food rich in zinc is considered an aphrodisiac in that respect, and oysters happen to be loaded with the mineral. Oyster also contains dopamine a hormone that increases testosterone production and can boost sexuality.
According to an old joke, “If you can get a woman to eat a raw oyster, you can get her to do anything!” referring to their visual nature, unappealing for some people. For others, though the oyster resembles the “female” genitals.
Should men start worshiping oysters?
