Thanksgiving is a sexy holiday, and Thanksgiving dinner, a sexy meal. Say what?

That's right: what happens at the Thanksgiving table has been proven to get the blood flowing, and we're not talking about your blood pressure. Many of the ingredients that go into turkey-day dinner are natural aphrodisiacs. Below are some of the top randiness-inducers, along with a few recipes that you may or may not want to include on the menu this November (depending on how close you're sitting to drunk Uncle Pete).

They, in their infinite wisdom, say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach (though some would say to aim a little lower). But the gang over at Glamour has been able to dial in this chestnut to create a single dish that will force him to his bent knee. The engagement chicken is such a meal; he will be so overcome that he has no recourse but to pop the question. Beth Ostrosky used this technique to expedite a betrothal from badass bachelor Howard Stern (King Of Media, not the lawyer lover … Read More

We love supermarket tabloids as much as the next person. In fact, we're guilty of holding up the line at Gristedes on several occasions, all in the name of celebrity gossip.

When it comes to sex myths, however, the headlines aren't always as transparent as say, a Spencer Pratt mishap. MSNBC recently published a list of sexual misconceptions that, quite frankly, scare us more than a Heidi Montag music video.

We've all heard about aphrodisiacs and the supposed boost they can give to our sex lives. I hate to burst your bubble, but most sources say that there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac. Regardless, I decided to go through some of the most notorious aphrodisiacs and anaphrodisiacs to let you decide for yourself. Hey, it couldn't hurt…Oysters – Most sources deem this one as pure myth, but there are a few that find some truth in the claim. According to MSN Health and Fitness, an American and Italian study found a compound in Read More

It's that time of year, again. Spring is just around the bend, winter is ready to shut its eyes for a while and Irish eyes are smiling. March 17th is St. Patrick's Day and it is the most romantic holiday on the calendar. Shocking, no?

People naturally assume that Valentine's Day is the most romantic holiday but it's just too contrived and elementary school-ish for my tastes. Yes, I do the right things on Valentimes and generally have a good time but the flowers, cards, gifts, dinners and heart-shaped whathaveyous ring hollow. "The Holidays," late November through … Read More

Look out, Viagra! Your long stint of unrivaled success may come up against a new competitor in a few years. What's behind this new threat to the mighty blue pill? The malodorous (some may say nauseating) gas, hydrogen sulfide. That's the substance responsible for the stench of flatulence, rotten eggs and car exhaust, the unpleasant smell that makes us scrunch up our noses and 10-year-old boys curl over with laughter.

This doesn't mean anyone should bottle up the fumes and take a big whiff before engaging in a lovemaking session. But the discovery that the gas plays a role … Read More

Good morning, YourTango readers. Happy December first, we hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Let's get to the news.

According to The Irish World, today is World AIDS Day. Roughly 30 million people have the immunodeficiency condition worldwide and infection rates appear to be on the rise. Let's hope that the awareness generated by this recognition day helps find a cure. The bone marrow transplant thing sounds promising.

Whoa, 2 stories about illicit aphrodisiacs in New York:

Firstly, Comcast.net is reporting that toad venom, used recreationally, can kill. The substance known as Piedra, Love Stone, Jamaican Stone, Black Stone, and Chinese Rock was responsible for the death of 35-year old New Yorker. A Bronx resident died back in 2002 for the same reason. If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it 1,000 times; don't use poison (especially venom) as a sexual stimulant… except tequila. We also think that Botox (short for Botulism Toxin) is a bad idea, being toxin and all.

NYC aphrodisiac don't … Read More
