Aromatherapy and Aphrodisiacs
Individuals that are physically or emotional exhausted, under stress, lacking proper nutrition, depressed, anxious or physically ill often have a significantly more difficult time enjoying intimacy.

An aphrodisiac is not the same thing as a natural or synthetic pheromone. Further studies need to be conducted, but there is evidence to suggest that humans, like some animals/insects, emit odorless natural pheromones that can repel or sexually attract other humans. Some companies claim to sell pheromones that cause sexual attraction, but be especially leery of such claims.
Some substances, namely foods, are loosely considered aphrodisiacs because they resemble sexual organs, are sensual to consume, provide nutrients that support the libido or provide all three benefits simultaneously.
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.
