Do Oysters really make the trick?
It is proven that the oysters were one of the first foods of people in times so ancient, like the time of the species Homo Neanderthalensis. Humans have gathered oysters long before they found how to use the fire. Even the legendary Aphrodite, considered the first Goddess in the world, used to taste oysters for her divine sexual superpower. Since she was born from the sea foam, all mussels were her sacred animals. According to the legends, she appears to the mere mortals upon a clamshell and carrying a pearl – her holy gem. In fact, the word “aphrodisiac” is derived from the Greek Goddess’s name.

Oysters are associated with lovemaking because they are shaped like lips. The Roman poet Juvenal describes how mischievous the women became after they’d drunk wine and eaten “giant oysters.” These claims were present on the table of the French Kings. The notorious Giacomo Girolamo Casanova, the great lover from the 18th century allegedly ate 50 oysters for breakfast in the morning in order to increase his sexual resilience, or as he claimed: “just to get in the mood!” They contain the substance dopamine, which raises the intimate desire in both sexes.

Legend has it, that when he had to start working for the famous minister of several rulers Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord – the employer gave him one condition – to invent a menu for one whole year in which no meal repeats itself.

Things That Excite You: Pastry, Lobster, Or Love

Nowadays lobster is the ultimate romantic dinner. It is the most popular meal for a marriage proposal. Devouring it is a ritual for celebrating anniversaries. When it comes to the foods of love, the American Lobster Homarus Americanus is unique. Seasoned with garlic this seafood becomes a really potent aphrodisiac.
The Lobster Telephone, also famous as “Aphrodisiac Telephone” is a surreal object created in 1936 by Salvador Dali for the poet Edward James, who collected surrealist art. It is both merry and menacing. According to Dali lobsters and phones had strong sexual implications. For the New York World’s Fair in 1939 Dali created a multimedia performance called The Dream of Venus – which partly consisted in dressing nude models in attires made of fresh seafood and photographed by Horst. The model’s sexual organs were covered by lobsters. Dali often loved to nap in the afternoon with live lobsters walking upon his bed. Other times he created gastronomical adventures which can give you sleepless nights – like lobsters marinated in “Viking” herbs.
How About The Scientific Point Of View?
It seems that the research on this subject is still very active and quite inconclusive. Especially Western medicine does not claim that any particular food enhances sensual desires or intercourse performance. However seafood has been considered aphrodisiac for millennia, and they have got the psychological placebo effect: people believe in their sexual properties. To medical expert, this seems more like a rumor than anything else. However, foods and eating can suggest sex to the mind, which then stimulates intense desire in the body. So according to science – it is all in our heads.

We cook and we make love not only to satisfy our bodily needs but also those of the soul. Let’s face it – all of us want better sex lives.
