Are you cooking a romantic meal for your man in the hope that it might excite more than just his taste buds? Well, then try adding coffee, honey, chocolate, some herbs and garlic in the feast - and see the ''rocking'' results.

According to Fox News, besides aphrodisiacs, there are thousands of foods, drinks, drugs, vitamins, herbs, nutrients and aromas that can increase your sexual desire and excitement.

The following is a list of the ones that have, so far, proven themselves quite worthy of the "aphrodisiac" title:

1 Caffeine:

Whether in coffee, tea, sodas or chocolate, caffeine, up to a certain point, can get your motor going.

2 Honey:

Known for giving you a quick boost, sugar in its pure honey form can boost your energy. Honey also fuels sperm cells.

3 Chocolate:

Besides containing caffeine, chocolate contains two compounds believed to have sex-enhancing effects: anandamide and phenylethylamine (PEA). (PEA is a natural form of amphetamine, an antidepressant). This sweet also contains theobromine, which increases endorphin production, making for a good high.

4. Herbs:

Helping lovers relax and ease anxieties, some herbs are seen as having physical effects that can make you feel randier and increase blood flow to the genitals.

Certain ones, like lemon balm, a type of mint plant that's available in tea form, can relax the nervous system, soothing you while elevating your mood.

5 Spices:

Some spices, like cayenne pepper, can get you hot quite literally by increasing your heart rate and body temperature. Some also mirror signs of sexual arousal, like a body flush, perspiration and plumper lips.

Certain spices can be consumed in capsule, tincture or concentrated drop form a half an hour before sex to boost circulation.
