The local paper here has a piece today on Aphrodisiacs, foods that are purported to trigger a response in the brain, endorphins, which arouse and stimulate the appetite for passion. While there is no sound scientific link between sustenance and sex,some take the topic seriously. Topping the list as purported aphrodisiacs are chocolate,containing flavonoids that increase blood flow. Also on the list is of course, oysters. Chilies, asparagus, cherries, beans ( ),ginseng, eggplant, sweetbreads, venison. Any others? Folklore or power of persuasion/suggestion?

I have read all sorts of articles about this, but it appears that nothing has ever been scientifically proven to be an authentic aphrodisiac.
However, it appears that things that heat you up physically (chilis, spices, certain alcohols, etc.) can have a corresponding effect on the libido. I think that part of this might just be that if you are overheated, you might want to loosen or remove your clothes -- and things can lead on from there. But also, if you are simply warm and comfortable, I would imagine that you are much more likely to be open to romance than if you are shivering.

Well......if you are shivering, romance would be a good way to warm up a bit.

Yes, but it is once you are warmer than you become romantic, not while you are shivering.

I assume my definition of the early stages of romance and your definition may be a bit different.
