aphrodisiac [ăfrō dēzē ăk] n. - a substance believed to increase sexual desire or virility
If you have any form of food fetish
(generally called sitophilia), pie is has a
lot to offer. But even if you don't, pie is still an
excellent choice for setting a mood.
Some of the most commonly-known aphrodisiacs don't go well in
pie, such as oysters or rhino horn. But there are many that
do. The scientific effectiveness ranges from questionable to
downright ineffective, but the placebo effect can work miracles.
The most obvious choice for an aphrodisiac or romantic pie is
chocolate (chocolate triggers the pleasure sensors
in the brain). But other options include strawberry
(commonly considered a sensual or romantic dessert), banana
(aside from it's phallic shape, it provides many vitamins necessary to produce sex hormones, and also
holds a lot of erotic lore), almond (the scent is
said to increase a woman's libido), coffee (due to
its stimulant properties), nutmeg (historically
considered an aphrodisiac by the Chinese), and vanilla
(the scent and flavor is believed to increase lust). And of
course, alcohol is always an
old stand-by.
But the most romantic or erotic part of a pie is not its
ingredients, it's what you do with it. Spend a romantic
evening in, sharing a bottle of wine and making a pie together.
Work on the crust together (think of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze
in Ghost). Or if you're feeling a bit friskier than
that, don't underestimate the erotic allure of a cream or custard
pie when it's fed to you by a lover (or ON a lover).

Despite the wholesome image of pie, it is a common euphemism for
sex. Why?
"Pie" - Pie is a common slang term for
vagina, or more generically, a sexually-attractive female. The
origins of the reference are unclear, but the most common theory is
the physical similarity, particilarly the warm, moist insides.
This theory is exemplified in the movie American Pie, where
the main character goes so far as to actually have sex with an apple
pie.
"Cherry Pie" - (Most popularly recognized
from Warrant's song and album of the same name.) The reference
to a "cherry" as maidenhead or
virginity dates back to 1889, from the supposed resemblance to the
hymen, but perhaps also from the long-time use of cherries as a
symbol of the fleeting quality of life's pleasures.
Combine this with using pie as slang for womanparts, and there you
go.
"Hair Pie" - a crude reference to a vagina, or more
specifically cunnilingus. Also called "muff pie".
Sitophilia is a term that describes the wide subject of food-play,
generally. Some people obsess over a particular food, some are
aroused by the basic act of eating. Obviously the quality of
the food - taste, color, and texture, etc. - makes a big difference
in the level of enjoyment. Pie is so widely variable it can
please almost any sitophiliac's desire.
There can be overlap between sitophilia and sploshing.
Sploshing is a wet and messy fetish
involving...basically getting really messy. (Is the
"tradition" of the bride and groom smearing the first bite of
wedding cake on each other's face rooted in sploshing?...)
Obviously, pies are ideal for this.
Feederism (arousal from feeding someone with the end result of
gaining fat) is another form of sitophilia, but it's a very
unhealthy thing to do.
