Many aphrodisiac foods are considered so because of their shape, but asparagus actually is rich in vitamin E, which makes it an aphrodisiac for another reason, because vitamin E stimulates the production of our sex hormones, and may be essential for a healthy sex life. The heat in peppers comes from capsaicin. It stimulates our nerve endings, raises our pulse, and makes us sweat. Eating peppers may also release endorphins, your feel good chemical, which is conducive to love making. Chocolate has the added benefit of that sensual feeling of melting on your tongue, but it also releases endorphins when you eat it, and that's why it's the quintessential gift for lovers. Mint, if you eat it or smell it -here we have fresh mint- smelling fresh mint, or eating peppermint, or eating peppermint gum makes you more alert, and also makes you feel good, which is conducive to love making. Everything you see here is just what you need for a hot night.
