An aphrodisiac is a substance which is used in the belief that it increases sexual desire. The name comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sensuality and love. Throughout history, many foods, drinks, and behaviors have had a reputation for making sex more attainable and/or pleasurable. A modern courtesan educates herself on sexy food and knows how to entertain to have her guest begging for more. The right food creates a sensual and sexy experience every time!
