Looking to spark some romance on V Day? Some foods and beverages can make you want to get frisky and increase your sex drive. From the super obvious to the slightly more sneaky, here are seven aphrodisiacs you can gift your S.O. this Valentine's Day. 1. Grab raw oysters during dinner. These little mollusks are packed with zinc and amino acids, triggering the production of sex hormones.
2. Order a meal topped with figs. According to Reader's Digest, the fig symbolizes both sexuality (the ripe fruit with seeds representing fertility) and modesty (the fig leaf). Eat this fruit for a boost of potassium and antioxidants.
3. Give your partner strawberries. Chocolate dipped, of course! These berries not only look sexy when consumed, but are also full of vitamin C that helps increase blood circulation.
4. Pick up something spicy. Chili peppers increase endorphins and mimic the feelings you feel during sex, according to Dr. Meryl S. Rosofsky.

5. Celebrate with a bottle of red wine. Your fave glass of Merlot will leave you with a bit of a buzz and will increase your blood flow. Just don't drink too much or the alcoholic nature of this beverage might interfere with sexual performance.

6. Surprise your sweetie some chocolate. According to Cosmopolitan, cocoa contains the chemical phenylethylamine, which leaves you feeling stimulated, excited, and ready for intimacy.
