Make your holiday.

Thanksgiving is a sxy holiday, and Thanksgiving dinner is a sxy meal. That's right: what happens at the Thanksgiving table has been proven to get the blood flowing, and we're not talking about your blood pressure. Many of the ingredients that go into Thanksgiving dinner are natural aphrodisiacs.

Below are some of the top blood flow-inducing aphrodisiac foods, along with a few recipes that you may or may not want to include on the menu (depending on how close you're sitting to drunk Uncle Pete).

1. Pumpkin pie

Pumpkin pie does more than expand your waistline; it's also a sxual aphrodisiac. According to Alan Hirsch, a neurologist at Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, the aroma of pumpkin pie increases blood flow to the penis by 40 percent.

It works even better when combined with the scent of lavender. When consumed, pumpkin provides a healthy dose of zinc, an element necessary for healthy blood flow and testosterone production.

2. Oysters

Oysters have a long-standing reputation as an aphrodisiac, and for good reason: they contain an enormous amount of zinc, which, as mentioned before, is oh-so-important for testosterone production in both men and women.

For men specifically, it's been shown to improve both the longevity of an erection and the quality of sperm. With that in mind, here's an oyster stuffing with shitake mushrooms recipe, which packs a one-two punch with zinc-heavy mushrooms.

3. Fig/cranberry sauce

This cranberry sauce with port and dried figs recipe is great for both getting in the mood beforehand and preventing complications afterwards. Figs are high in the sx-drive-boosting Vitamin A (important for the reproductive and circulatory systems), while cranberries are great for treating potential urinary tract infections with a healthy dose of Vitamin C.

Figs are also fairly sxually suggestive (when sliced, they resemble a woman's vulva) and could make quite an addition to a holiday table.
