Aside from general health benefits like vitamins and beta-carotene, carrots supposedly stimulate men because of -- what else? -- their phallic shape. Carrots were used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid in seduction. I'm not quite sure if they waved bunches of carrots around in the air, but for our Valentine's Day, I'd suggest something slightly less in-your-face. My choice would be carrot cake. You might lose the visual power of the carrot's long, phallic shape, but who doesn't get aroused by cream cheese frosting?
