Before Viagra, people ate everything from artichokes to zucchini for sexual stimulation. There may not be scientific proof that aphrodisiacs work, but that hasn't rained on a parade of frisky food lovers who find eating very sexy. Valentine's Day or not, some of our favorite LA restaurants serve up sexy dishes. —Lesley Balla 
 Mood FoodWith a plate of oysters, who needs a little blue pill?
1.
Dominick'sWe're not sure artichokes possess any aphrodisiac properties, but tearing the leaves and seductively sucking on the flesh is incredibly sensual. The lemony grilled artichoke here is one of the house’s best dishes.
2.
Water GrillThis venerable seafood restaurant conjures the spirit of Casanova, who ate 50 raw oysters every morning to provide him with stamina. We don't recommend getting that extreme, but still.
Love Potion No. 9Some seek liquid courage. We seek liquid love. Hold us.
1.
MinibarWith drinks like the "Swinging Single," a blend of honey and passion fruit-infused vodka, solo sippers could quickly pair off.
2.
ElixirTonics like Mighty Joe Yang and Chi Devil will help stroke the, um, flames. You can even mix and match depending on your sexual orientation (Chi Devil and Chi Devil? Mighty Joe Yang and Mighty Joe Yang?).
3.
ValentinoThere's nothing like the perfect bottle of bubbly to impress a traditional date. The list at this Italian mainstay has over two dozen Champagnes and sparkling wines to choose from, so if you want to woo, this is the place.
4.
Luna ParkThe Volcanic Scorpion Bowl is a giant Polynesian cocktail made for two; for the more delicate, there's a cocktail with rose pedal-infused vodka and Champagne.
5.
AvenueThe cozy nook of a restaurant serves up some sassy cocktails like the French Kiss (cognac, vanilla liquor and a sugar cube).
Sweets for the SweetThe Aztecs used chocolate before gettin' it on, and we know plenty of savages who would do a stranger for a truffle.
1.
BouleThis jewel box of a patisserie has rose-petal macaroons and rose-petal marshmallows. (Roses have been the key ingredient in love potions for centuries.)
2.
Susina Bakery & CafeThe bakery is loaded with sweets like vanilla cookies and candies (vanilla purportedly increases sexual desire), chocolate layer cakes, handmade chocolate truffles and...is it getting hot in here?
3.
K Chocolatier/Diane KronThis chi-chi candy store has chocolates they say are for women only. The secret ingredient? Fifteen herbs selected by a Chinese herbalist and three different kinds of cocoa beans. Drink something warm after you eat one:lLiquid blossoms the herbs in your blood stream and then (supposedly) kapow!
4.
Comparte's ChocolatierHorny aesthetes will appreciate the blue-and-brown scheme and the pretty patterns on the chocolate goodness.
5.
Madame ChocolatIs that a ginormous chandelier bulging within your store, or are you just happy to see us?
Romantic RestaurantsThere are restaurants worth fighting the crowds for romance. Others are off the beaten path, but worth seeking out.
1.
SonaFor the minimalist and incredibly stylish couple, chef David Myers' tasting menus will work all of your senses.
2.
The Little DoorThis secret garden with a canopy of twinkling lights is one of the most romantic spots around any time of year.
3.
Piccolo Ristorante ItalianoYou know you're in Venice Beach, but it's easy to pretend that you've been swept away to Venice, Italy.
4.
La BohemeWith two fireplaces and loads of velvet, the dramatic decor is on the verge of being cheesy, but just barely stays on the decadent, classy side.
