11. Celery - You wouldn't normally think of celery as a libido inducing food, but according to Judy Gaman, Dr. Walter Gaman and Dr. Mark Anderson, authors of the book "Stay Young: Ten Proven Steps to Ultimate Health," eating celery actually increases the pheromone levels in a man's sweat, making them more attractive to women.

15. Vanilla - Alan Hirsch, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, says the smell of food is the most powerful aspect for making men feel “in the mood.” In his study on aromas and their effect on penile bloood flow, Hirsch found that smells which remind men of the security and pleasure of their cchilhood make them turned on. Vanilla seems to work for this reason.
