`Aphrodisiac: Cook Your Way to Sexual Bliss' is a handy little book that references some foods that can enhance your sex life, either by causing arousal when eaten, or by becoming props in the bedroom for extra fun.  I picked this up because I wanted something different to try for Valentine's Day, and I thought I might get some ideas for a nice, romantic meal for my husband and I to eat that would help set the mood for romance.I have read other books by Williams, and he always seems to offer really practical advice that you might not think of on your own.  I already knew about oysters (eww!) as aphrodisiacs, and knew that bananas were phallic foods, but some of the others surprised me.  I didn't know that asparagus and garlic were both sexy foods until I read this.  It definitely gave me some ideas for my meal!  Before this book, I the sexiest thing I'd tried was a little whipped cream in the bedroom.  I won't say where it was used, but it certainly achieved the desired effect!  After reading this, I can't walk through the produce department at the grocery store without blushing!I really liked the fact that the author described why the foods were considered aphrodisiacs.  Some other books just state that they are, and you have to trust that the author has done his research, but you may be disappointed by the results.  Williams definitely seems to know what he is talking about, and the wealth of information in the book makes up for the fact that it is so short.  The foods and recipes are tasty, and the results are quite surprising, in a good way!I never knew how sexy food could be, until I looked at some of the suggestions in this book.  I tried the tips about strawberries and chocolate, and although not all of the foods in the book were quite to our tastes, most of them were quite tasty and easy to prepare.  The book was easy to follow and brief, so it was easy to flip back and forth to find things I wanted to try.  My husband agrees that it has been a great little addition to our supply of ideas for keeping things exciting in the bedroom, and we will definitely be trying more of the suggestions made in the book.Of course, science has not proven 100 percent why some foods seem to make us feel more romantic, or even if it is all in our heads.  But good food and good sexual relationships make everyone feel better, so it's worth giving this book a read through, at least once.  It will probably open your eyes to a whole new way to have fun in the bedroom!
