Eco-Aphrodisiacs

Looking to spice up your love life and pep up your palette? Aphrodisiacs are commonly thought to satiate both your senses and your sex life. But oysters are not for everyone, so we went to the green-friendly dating site called PlanetEarthSingles.com and the experts gave us their favorite foods that are not only sexy and satisfying but healthy for you!

Here are some natural aphrodisiacs to enjoy with your date:

Tomatoes -- Known as "the apple of love", this juicy fruit is especially delicious in the summer months. Make a date of it and shop your local farmer's market for the freshest fare. We love a tomato salad with fresh mozzarella and basil or simply salt and olive oil for a simple and sexy snack.

Cornstarch -- It is commonly used as a thickening agent in soups and liquids. This surprisingly sexy ingredient feels like liquid silk. On a hot day, start by massaging your date's back, work up to a full body massage when things start to heat up. Let the pleasures flow.

Melted, Free-Trade, Organic, Rainforest Chocolate -- It doesn't take a chef to know that rich, dark, chocolate is an aphrodisiac. We suggest tempting all the senses with this sweet treat. Remember, chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine (PEA), the same chemical that our body naturally produces during the first moments of falling in love (or lust). Edibly erotic!

Avocadoes -- Who doesn't love a good guacamole? The avocado based snack is not only delicious, but Vitamin E filled and perfect to soften skin. Mash the veggie together by hand for a sexy summer night.

Homemade Granola -- After your erotic adventures, you both may be ready for something a bit more hearty but not too heavy. Try some organic homemade granola or make it together. Granola, made with organic oats and grains, is rich in magnesium and other healthy vitamins and minerals. Add some seeds, nuts, and dry fruits. Aim and toss it into each others' mouth, whoever catches the most gets an erotic adventure of their choice.

Seasonal Berries -- Pick juicy ripe local berries, that are small and delicate. They are just right to plop into a waiting mouth. Savor the juices, feel the berries in the midst of a sensuous long kiss.

Sensual Aromatherapy Oils -- The top three sexiest smells are citrus, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix all three together and make your date go wild with desire. We suggest a citrus salad made of orange slices, lemon juice and topped with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla.

Green your bedroom! Create the mood by burning eco-friendly candles, saving electricity. Bee's wax candles are the best, they burn clean and smell delicious.
