10. PASTAPasta will always have a special place in a romantic's heart.

9. Chocol
ateRich, decadent chocolate is an irresistible aphrodisiac. Truly considered a romantic treat, chocolate evokes thoughts of delicious, fulfilling experiences. Since it comes in many forms from liquid to solid, your options for using chocolate as a sensual prop are only limited by your creativity.
8. StrawberriesOver the years, strawberries have become synonymous with romance. Certainly no sensual food list is complete without the sweet and juicy strawberry. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a romantic evening that doesn't include this sensual treat. Dipped in chocolate, cream, wine or enjoyed in it's natural state, the strawberry is without a doubt an essential ingredient for a sensual temptation.
7. Oysters
Oysters have long been considered a predominant player in the sensual food arena, more than likely due to their resemblance to sexual anatomy. However, there is some validity to their aphrodisiac claim. Oysters are loaded with zinc, which is a key ingredient for testosterone production. Next time you want to step up your sensual encounter, make sure to include oysters on the menu!
6. Sushi
"Naked sushi" is a new culinary experience first introduced in Japan. In Japan, it's called nyotaimori, meaning "female body presentation." There are currently only a few US cities that offer this delicious adventure - Los Angeles, New York and Chicago and Minneapolis. However, preparing an at-home version is why sushi made our list. While one partner lays naked, the other prepares and eats the sushi directly on their naked partner's body. It can make for quite the erotic experience.
5. Champagne

Champagne is the perfect companion for all of life's special events, so its inclusion as a bedroom aphrodisiac should be of no surprise. Best of all, you can serve it up any way you desire...pour it over your partner's body, soak fruit in it, freeze as champagne ice cubes...the possibilities go on and on.
