In case you didn't catch it, my story tonight at eleven was on natural aphrodisiacs. In a nutshell, we put three items known for putting passion in a relationship, to the test. One couple tried oysters, dark chocolate and a tea called "Damiana," and then reported back to us with their review of each item. The oysters didn't seem to have an effect on our couple, but the dark chocolate however was said to be "sensuous." As for the tea, it's actually geared more toward having an effect on women and not men, and sure enough, that's what our couple discovered. The woman testing the tea said she had a pleasant feeling after drinking it. There are a number of other items that individuals can try to spice things up in their love life...I've even heard pumpkin pie is an aphrodisiac, I think because of all the spices. In the end, our couple explained to us that more than the items they tested, talking about the experiment and spending time together was what really "put them in the mood." If you're looking for some passion potions, we found a cookbook called "The New InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook" by Martha Hopkins, Randall Lockridge. It's filled with recipes for natural aphrodisiacs you can make at home. Good luck to any daring cooks ;) Happy Valentine's Day!
