InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook
Forget Spanish fly or powdered rhino horn; if you want to get  your lover in the mood, look no farther than your local supermarket.  Strawberries, chocolate, asparagus--even coffee--have long been  considered stimulants for the romantic appetite. For centuries, folk  wisdom held that foods either rare or resembling a sexual organ had  tremendous power over the libido. Modern science has since debunked  that theory, but there's no denying that a meal lovingly prepared and  properly presented with just the right ambience can precipitate the  most passionate encounters. InIntercourses: An Aphrodisiac  Cookbook, Martha Hopkins and Randall Lockridge appeal to all the  senses as they offer up 85 heart-melting, temperature-raising dishes,  along with an array of sensuous photographs that will make you look at  food in a whole new light.The book is divided into 17 sections, each one devoted to a particular  food with aphrodisiac qualities, from chocolate and chilies to black  beans and oysters. Following these are recipes for massage oils,  seasonal dishes, and meals to appeal to every astrological sign and  every stage of a relationship, from first date to golden anniversary.  There's even a list of resources on subjects ranging from further  reading on aphrodisiacs to locating aromatherapy candles.
