Aphrodisiac Recipes To Cook Up Some "Hot and Sexy" Culinary Delights

"Making this dish reminded us of our honeymoon 29 years ago in Cape Cod. We ate tons of oysters in many different dishes on that beautiful paradise by the ocean. What oysters did for us then, they still do for us today (maybe it's just the memories). Whatever the case, we believe it is romance in the form of food. Use wisely, and only with those who deserve it." Matt and Carol, married 29 years, Philadelphia, PA

When used as a spice, coffee has a curious effect: It awakens and harmonizes the other flavorings, even as it contributes its own nutty and even slightly wine-like taste to the mix. Longtime (passionate) cook Elise concurs. "From the moment I read the ingredients in the recipe, my head was filled with visions of Dave's seasoned lips, and my mouth began to water. Fortunately, the marinating time gives you ample time to do practically anything your heart desires." Elise and Dave, together 5 years and betting on more, West Fairlee, VT

This rub, which also incorporates another aphrodisiac botanical (rosemary), is custom-tailored for grilled lamb. Fatty, meaty shoulder chops work best – and they're less expensive than other lamb chops.

"I'll remember feeding him the spicy flavored shrimp – his tongue trailing my saucy fingers so slowly that I'm positive time stopped. I'll remember him rubbing the spices along my mouth, only to lick them off seconds later. I'll remember lips on fingers, tongues on mouths, heat and honey. And I will never think of grilled shrimp the same way again." Anne, on her experience with spicy grilled shrimp and Eric, 6 dates in 2 weeks, Jacksonville, FL

John enjoyed his tomato-basil soup: "This luscious soup offered us everything we could ever want in a tasteful prelude to an amorous evening encounter: the wonderful smell of onions, garlic and basil wafting through our home as they simmered; the smooth, rich texture and warm layers of flavor cascading from lips to tongues to throats, then bellies. Finally, the surprisingly sensuous effect of good French bread (try sourdough!), soaked through with velvety, herb-laden liquid, giving nourishing sustenance to a light, energizing meal. Afterward: untold delights."

"As a born-and-bred Southern girl, I'm here to tell you that the perfect biscuit will warm any man's heart. Pair that with all the juiciness and ripeness a strawberry encompasses, and you've got a virtual feast that will bring you lovin' for breakfast, lunch, and supper. Rest assured, this will feed your body and soul any time of the day or night. It's the kind of treat that makes a couple who has been together literally half of their lives want to come back for more – not only at the table, but wherever we please! There's something magical about the sinfully sweet, liquor-infused berries with the melt-your-heart goodness of a biscuit. Topping this dish (and each other!) with cream will take it – and your partner – to a new level.

"We had just taken Mollie, our two-year-old black lab, for a walk on the banks of the Mississippi near our house. She exudes life and expects everyone to come along with her – even when it's 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity. When she finally wore out (long after we had worn out), she allowed us to return home to our ceiling fan, slingback chairs, and Cabernet Sauvignon ice from the night before. The refreshingly non-sweet slush just about sent us over the edge. We ended up sitting in our chairs, talking and sipping the snowflakes of ice until the sun went down over the river." Marilyn and Tim, married 26 years, Memphis, TN
