They say the way to a man's heart is through is his stomach...
I don't know about his heart, but certain other organs sure seem to respond to food:
Thirty-one men, aged 18 to 64 years... underwent olfactory testing with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), a 40-item, forced choice, scratch and sniff odor detection and identification test... The effects of 30 odors on penile blood flow were assessed by comparing a subject's brachial penile index while wearing an odorized mask to his average index while wearing an unodorized mask. This was done for each subject for each odor.
Here are the 10 odors that elicited the largest responses:
1. Lavender and pumpkin pieWell, I know doughnuts, black licorice, cola, and pie are some of MY husband's favorite foods, but I had no idea they could have such an effect on him.
2. Doughnut and black licorice
3. Pumpkin pie and doughnut
4. Orange
5. Lavender and doughnut
6. Black licorice and cola
7. Black licorice
8. Doughnut and cola
9. Lily of the valley
10. Buttered popcorn
This study explains a lot.

I rarely get much of a reaction from food, and certainly arousal. I won't go into what does get a response, but food has never been remotely sexual to me; it's for the kitchen, not the bedroom.
