It’s always great to go out to a restaurant with your partner and enjoy a romantic evening out. But on the other hand, there’s nothing wrong with a romantic evening in either. You can spend the evening cooking together, lounging with some wine and maybe even sharing some decadent dessert. Who knows where the evening will end?
Here is a list of twenty sensual foods to get you started. Feel free to think about any others that may come to mind. And remember – any food can be sensual if you approach it with the right attitude.
1. Champagne
Champagne is one of the stalwarts of sensuality. It’s a treat and after some of those bubbles have gone to your head – who knows where the night is heading?
2. Chocolate
Chocolate has been used as an aphrodisiac for years, originally in South America and now in the West. It’s decadence and sinfulness are just the right mix of indulgence and pleasure to get you and your partner going.
3. Oysters
Oysters are also one of the original aphrodisiacs. They are high in zinc, an element that helps with testosterone production. Testosterone is a vital hormone when it comes to sexuality.
4. Caviar
The opulence of caviar makes it one of those foods that people always associate with sensuality.
5. Lobster
Ditto with lobster. Lobster is one of those foods that people eat when they are in the mood for love.

The humble grape is more than just a fruit. Try popping some into your partner’s mouth and letting the sensuality flow.

Considered by the Incas to be an aphrodisiac, the creamy green flesh of the avocado is sure to have you and your partner enjoying each other’s company.

Chillies can be powerful in this regard. They make the body release endorphins, powerful reward chemicals that can make you feel relaxed and ready for anything.

Whipped cream is high in calories and luxurious, just the kind of naughty treat you want to share with your partner on a romantic evening.

A good quality ice cream is one of those rare pleasures. It doesn’t need to be something you eat alone while sitting on the couch – share it with your partner and take it to new levels.
16. Good cheese
The French people are some of the most romantic in the world and they love their cheeses. Put together some great cheese and crackers and enjoy the time you have with your partner.
