Want superhuman powers...in bed?

The Bite:
Rowrl! You could sacrifice a virgin to the Greek goddess of love, but a trip to the natural food store works just as well. Try natural aphrodisiacs like oysters, organic chocolate, and certain herbs (rather than endangered animal parts) for mightier mojo.
The Benefits: 
  • Time-honored titillation. Using food to get in the mood started in China more than 2,000 years ago.
  • Less-toxic intoxication. Aphrodisiacs like Spanish fly and ecstasy can cause everything from heart palpitations to death (plus they're not exactly legal).
  • Eco-healthier horndoggery. Endangered animals like rhinos and sea turtles are often poached to make mojo-enhancers, so options like oysters (rated as sustainable by eco-org Environmental Defense) are a better bet.
Personally Speaking: 
Jenifer's been known to cook up a mean puttanesca sauce, used back in the day to lure the fellas into brothels. The only thing she lures in, however, is a little bloat from eating too much of it.
Wanna Try: 
  • Farm2Market Cultured Oyster Sampler - extravagant oyster feast for two, rich in zinc and amino acids; comes with five oyster varietals and an oyster knife ($80/60).
  • CocoaVino Bonbons - amazing organic bonbons with wine in the middle to get you in the mood ($35).
  • Aphrodite - Isabel Allende's (The House of Spirits) cookbook details the aphrodisiac qualities of everyday fruits, vegetables, meats, and spices ($9).
  • Cobra Sexual Energy Capsules - blends libido-boosting herbs, like horny goat weed and yohimbe, with ginseng, which helps increase blood flow, ahem.... ($7).
  • Nature's Answer Damiana Leaf - Mexican herb recommended as an aphrodisiac by wellness expert Dr. Weil; in veggie-cap form ($4).

Cocktail Fact

Casanova ate 50 oysters for breakfast each day.

Bang For The Bite

Sustainable and sexy, these aphrodisiacs will turn any Biter into a sex god or goddess - but they don't have quite the efficacy of some of those cheesily over-advertised pills.
