Oysters have also been credited with keeping men virile well into old age. Most historians believed that Casanova, the charming playboy consumed more than fifty oysters each day to keep his sexual libido in top form!

One of the most evocative symbol of passion, most believe that the connection between oysters and romance lies in a chance that slurping the slippery bivalves from their shells might reveal a pearl (however, edible oysters are not of the pearl-producing variety).  The slightly salty and sweet scent of oysters has proven to be sexually stirring as their smell is similar to a potent female pheromone. They are also loaded with zinc, a key nutrient for testosterone production.

ALMONDS

Every culture has its unique folklore in history. In ancient Greece, almonds were tossed at weddings in place of rice as a sendoff for a successful honeymoon (and fed to the groom) as they were considered to be the Viagra of the hour!

Almonds are known to be a healthy source of fat and are considered a great aphrodisiac for men because they support testosterone production. Also packed with proteins and other essential nutrients, the texture of almonds is said to sensitise the tongue and increase the sex drive in both men and women.
