ROME, June 2 (UPI) -- If bad breath isn't a concern, then cheese and salami might be the catalyst for a good sex life, an Italian survey revealed.

A survey by Telecom Italia found a quarter of Italian women declared salami was their favorite aphrodisiac, while 21 percent said a good hunk of cheese did it for them.

The Telegraph said Saturday that oysters didn't come into play in the survey.

Alessandro Di Gregorio, director of the Artes Centre for Assisted Procreation, told the British newspaper hot salami Nduja was known to increase blood flow, while its chilis release a substance in the gut that acts like a natural Viagra.
