Of course, we must start with the magical powers of the oyster. Since pre-history, men have believed it was the basic food of love, and a male who ate them just before an evening of passion would enjoy greater strength and extended performance. Poets have raved about the aphrodisiac advantages of oysters, and authors, poets and comedians still use it in their routines.

Their basic instincts and physical needs are always prepared to rise to the surface.
