Why are Oysters Considered Aphrodisiacs?
The oyster has been regarded as an aphrodisiac for nearly 1800 years. Visually, some find that oysters resemble feminine genitalia and some find them sensual to consume. Nutritionally, oysters are rich in protein and zinc. For both genders, protein can help provide endurance while the zinc can help progesterone levels. For men, the oyster’s high zinc content may help reduce or prevent impotency.
