"Unveiling the Truth About Aphrodisiac Foods for Valentine's Day"

TL;DR Summary
While there is no scientific evidence directly linking oysters to increased libido, they are high in zinc, which is associated with improved testosterone levels and essential for male fertility. Oysters also contain an amino acid that may support testosterone production, but results are inconsistent in humans. The placebo effect may also play a role in the belief that oysters are an aphrodisiac. Other foods like watermelon, beets, and strawberries are also considered aphrodisiacs, and experts recommend eating light and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption for better sexual performance.
