Wondering what to feed your next dinner date that might just increase the sex drive and stimulate intimacy? As a Melbourne Escort with extensive experience in the the ‘dinner date GFE’ I offer some suggestions on foods to heat things up…
Eating & Intimacy:
For me, eating together is an intimate experience. It’s a chance to slow down and enjoy each other’s company, as well as an opportunity to share my love of food and wine with you.
And as if the idea of a romantic dinner wasn’t enough, throughout history certain foods have been touted as ‘aphrodisiacs’. Named after the god of love, Aphrodite, an aphrodisiac is something thought to arouse eroticism, increase desire, intensify pleasure, and enhance performance.
In modern culture, scientists have set out to prove the link between aphrodisiac foods and increased sexual performance. While the jury is still out on whether the aphrodisiac effect of some foods are truly significant or simply a placebo, I’m more than happy to undergo testing with you! I’ve listed some of my favourite aphrodisiac foods, and where we can eat them, below for you. Are you ready to experiment?

Your Sex Drive

Oysters
Have you heard the urban legend about Casanova seducing a virgin by sliding an oyster from his lips to hers? Putting aside the issues with table manners in that story, oysters have long been considered theaphrodisiac food. Plus, they contain dopamine, a brain chemical that can increase desire.
What shall we eat?
- Mignonette Sydney rock oysters, eschalot and black pepper vinaigrette at Restaurant Hubert in Sydney
- Roasted rock oysters with pepperberry and sake at Ester in Sydney
- Ostriche (freshly shucked oysters with shallot vinegar) at Tipo 00 in Melbourne
Salmon
Salmon helps to boost libido by supplying building blocks for the production of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. While that doesn’t sound particularly sexy, salmon is delicious, and we can trust it’s doing the work for us behind the scenes.
What shall we eat?
Salmon is a staple in Japanese cuisine. The restaurants below don’t have set menus, but they are my favourite picks when I’m craving Japanese.
- Minamishima in Melbourne
- Kisumé in Melbourne
- Tetsuya's in Sydney
Chilli
Why not add a little spice to your life? The stuff that makes chilli’s spicy also increases your heart rate and releases endorphins in your body, which can make you more easily aroused.
What shall we eat?
- Rigatoni with sher wagyu neck, confit chilli and tomato at Tipo 00 in Melbourne
- Kung pao chicken, peanuts, dried chillies, Sichuan pepper at Mr Wong in Sydney
Strawberries
In ancient Greek myth, strawberries grew on ground watered by the tears of Aphrodite as she wept over the death of her lover. Now, that’s a bit dramatic for a simple date night, but you can’t deny that the sweet taste, bold colour and heart-like shape of strawberries is just plain romantic.
What shall we eat?
- Meringue, strawberry & lemongrass sorbet at Restaurant Hubert in Sydney
- Bomboloni (ricotta doughnuts, strawberry and lemon) at Tipo 00 in Melbourne
Chocolate
Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (say that fast three times), which is a stimulant that can elicit excitement and a sense of well-being. Plus, who doesn’t like chocolate? The perfect pre-‘dessert’ snack, if you ask me.
What shall we eat?
- Warm chocolate tart with cultured cream at Restaurant Hubert in Sydney
- Tipomisu with chocolate, coffee and mascarpone at Tipo 00 in Melbourne
- Pear ice cream with muscovado, chocolate and almond at Embla in Melbourne
- Chocolate ice cream with passion fruit custard, coconut mousse and hazelnut at Mr Wong in Sydney
Red Wine
I’ve previously worked in the wine industry, so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t adore a glass of red. Plus there’s a cheeky little enzyme in red wine that has been found to boost men’s testosterone levels… Need I say more?
Where can we find it?
If there’s a restaurant, there’s red wine – I’ll leave this one up to you to figure out!
Whipped Cream
Look, there’s no scientific basis for whipped cream as an aphrodisiac, but if it doesn’t make you think of fun antics in the bedroom, what does?
