The story

Does any food actually work as an aphrodisiac? Linda De Villers, PhD, spent years on that question — and Sexy Recipes for Lovers is her answer: a survey of 60 foods across folklore and modern science, paired with recipes designed to be cooked, shared, and eaten with your hands.

De Villers is refreshingly honest about what the research shows (oysters: mostly ritual; chili: genuinely physiological) and equally clear that the ritual is the point — cooking together, eating slowly, paying attention. The recipes are built around exactly that. 238 pages.

Our Journal covered her food-by-food findings in Are Oysters Actually an Aphrodisiac? — this is the book behind the article.

Best for: couples who believe date night should start in the kitchen.

OUR EDITORIAL STANDARD

Body-safe materials. Brands we trust.

Questions before you buy?

Will this arrive in discreet packaging?
Yes — all orders ship in plain, unmarked boxes with no product names and no brand logos on the outside. We ship discreetly on every order, automatically.
What's your return policy?
Sex toys can't be returned once opened — that's an industry-standard hygiene rule, not specific to us. For defective or damaged items: we'll replace or refund. Email us and we'll handle it.
Is this product body-safe?
We carry only products that meet our editorial standard: body-safe materials, no phthalates, no BPA, no latex in products marketed for internal use. Our board sets the bar; this product meets it.
How do I clean it?
For non-motorized toys: warm water and mild soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner. For motorized or electronic toys: wipe with a damp cloth and toy cleaner — don't submerge unless the product is rated waterproof. Waterproof rating is noted in the specs section when applicable.
Is this rechargeable?
Check the specs section on this page for charging details. Most modern vibrators and massagers include a USB-C or magnetic charger. Battery-powered products are noted clearly in the Materials & specs accordion above.
Can I order anonymously?
Yes — guest checkout is available, no account required. We ship in plain packages with no external branding. The charge on your card statement appears as "Alexander Institute" — the parent company that owns Loving Sex, nothing that identifies the product type.
