Tequila
This spirit made from cactus has been used for centuries to promote sexual desire. Or at least break down inhibitions. Remember that party in your sophomore year? No? That's Tequila at work.

Tiger
Many tiger parts (including the bones, liver, fat and penis) are considered to be very powerful aphrodisiacs in China. In Indonesia, tiger whiskers are said to do the trick. The Cooking Couple do not endorse killing or eating tiger, all species of which are endangered. We hope Viagra will become available in China and Indonesia soon. The world is running out of tigers.

Tomatoes
Known as love-apples by the French, the humble tomato may have been the real culprit that got Adam and Eve kicked out of Eden. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, locally grown and eaten in season are a very seductive food. Try them with a little fresh mozzarella cheese and some basil. Tomatoes are rich in the phytochemical lycopene which can help prevent prostate cancer.

Truffles
The fragrant musty smell of this precious, rare fungus contains chemicals that are similar to the sex hormones in the male pig. (Ok everyone, make your male pig jokes here.) According to the famed French gastronome Brillat-Savarin: "Whoever says 'truffle' utters a great word which arouses erotic and gastronomic memories."

Turnip
Iranians use this vegetable to rekindle a dwindling sex life.
