#1 Asparagus
Asparagus is high in folates of the vitamin B variety. These folates increase the histamine levels in your body. And histamines are part of the complex chemical engine that drives sexual urges.
#2 Avocado
An avocado's alligator skin may not look very sexy, but it will put you in the mood. An avocado contains a one-two punch of passion: potassium to give your libido a jump start and folic acid to give you lasting energy.#3 Chilies
While chilies stimulate your taste buds they are also stimulating your blood. This extra flow gets things moving to important parts which is a big part of getting both parties in the mood. Chilies also release endorphins that make you feel really good.#4 Maca Root
You may not have heard of maca root, but this Peruvian tuber is making a big splash in North America thanks to its special properties. The maca root has high concentrations of the chemical p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, minerals and fatty acids which all increase libido.#5 Watermelon
It's great for cooling down on a hot summer day. Watermelon contains an amino acid called citrulline that relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow where men need it most.#6 Celery
The idea of celery conjures to mind pictures of neuter vegans. But in reality, raw celery increases androsterone in men, a hormone that increases sex drive in women who come into contact with it.#7 Oysters
Sharing a tray of oysters can easily lead to a night of romance. That's because oysters are a triple threat aphrodisiac: their zinc content increases your libido-enhancing testosterone levels, their dopamine makes you feel warn and libidinous and many find their slippery texture erotic.#8 Eggs
Bet you didn't see this coming. But eggs are a great aphrodisiac -- especially in long-term relationships. Eggs contain vitamins B6 and B5 that promote healthy hormone levels and decrease stress. Want a sexier option? Try caviar. Both bird and fish eggs have these properties.#9 Garlic
Garlic contains allicin, a compound that increases blood flow to your sexy parts. To increase your libido without turning off a potential lover, try some garlic capsules. Or share a garlicky meal followed by a desert featuring breath-freshening mint.#10 Chocolate
There's really no better food to get you in the mood. First of all, revealing that you have chocolate is a great way to put someone in a good mood. Second of all, chocolate also contains the chemcial phenylethylamine which mimics the feeling of being in love in anyone who eats it.#11 Wine
This is a long-term investment that most of us are willing to make. A recent study revealed that women who drink one to two glasses a day experience "higher...sexual desire, lubrication and overall sexual functioning." Bottles up.#12 Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are the aphrodisiac for people who don't like oysters. Like oysters, pumpkin seeds are high in zinc and a whole host of other vitamins and minerals that increase testosterone production and libido. Roast them for a great pre-dinner snack, or just toss them in a salad.#13 Sweet Basil
Basil is one of the oldest forms of aphrodisiac, cherished since ancient times. In some parts of Italy, a basil plant is considered a token of love. Eat it and keep some fresh plants around to get your hormones flowing.#14 Cardamom
This sweet Indian spice is rich in cineole which stimulates libido. Can't find cardamom in your local store? Order a chai tea. They're rich in this sexy spice. Chai tea & sex? Yum!#15 Ginger
The great thing about ginger is that it stimulates the feelings of excitement associated with sex. Eat some at dinner and it elevates your heart rate, gets your blood flowing and gets you excited for the night ahead.
