Avocados, bananas, carrots, sausages, cucumbers, mushrooms, ears of corn and the most exalted of all, oysters, found a home in this category. Looks, however can be deceiving. In the Physiology of Taste, it states that certain foods definitely have a physiological role in human desire. A sexually dynamic body requires a diet rich in fresh, varied fruits and vegetables and lean animal protein. However, due to the excessive processing required today, certain foods may be nutritionally deficient.
Some foods do have a direct impact upon the body.
Bananas are rich in potassium, which is essential for the function of nerves and muscles. The lust-provoking ability of raw oysters is linked to the high levels of zinc and complex sugars and proteins which help to produce testosterone, a male sex hormone. Chocolate, possibly the most sensual food, not only has energy-boosting sugar and caffeine, but contains amino acids which increase the brain's levels of its own natural aphrodisiac. Psychologically, the aroma, texture and taste of certain foods can be sexually stimulating.
