If you really want things to get hot and heavy (as they should), just stay in the kitchen and make your own aphrodisiac-filled meal. A stew of aphrodisiacal ingredients like truffles, vanilla, nutmeg, anise seed, coriander, avocado, chocolate, almonds, asparagus, basil, garlic, liquorice, mustard, arugula, pine nuts, and wine would be one hell of an arousing concoction, though perhaps not the most tasty. Dessert would be unforgettable though. Find hormone-stimulating spices at specialty markets like San Francisco Herb Co.
