searching for the perfect aphrodisiac

9 red rose petals, 1 pinch of rosemary, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 2 black cherries, 4 drops of blood, 1 drop of amber oil, a piece of tree bark and some dragon saliva! Is this the recipe for the ultimate love potion? Will this bring you your true love or make you a sex goddess? Well no. For thousands of years people have been brewing love potions and eating strange animal parts in search of the perfect aphrodisiac. Instead of hunting down a dragon to try the recipe above, here are some things that do work.

Oysters! Not only are they delicious, they are one of the most effective aphrodisiacs. The word itself comes from the Greek goddess Aphrodite, who was born in an oyster shell off the island of Cyprus and immediately gave birth to Eros. And doesn’t the shape remind you somehow of a vagina? Oysters are high in zinc, which improves the production of sperm. They also increase the production of testosterone, so in theory this means they also increase the libido. It is said that Casanova used to eat 50 oysters a day!

Nowhere in Europe does the fruit taste sweeter then in Spain. Though hopefully you won’t go looking for Spanish fly, you can be sure to find some tasty oysters and chocolate. Why not spent a holiday in Andalusia? Rent the best apartments in Seville, it’s balmy nights, stirring flamenco and culinary aphrodisiacs will guarantee you some passionate nights.
