Although certain foods have been known to have aphrodisiac properties, squid is not one of them. You will find that there are various types of food that when ingested can heighten sexual stimulation and libido, although they do not have this effect on everyone.

Even though squid cannot act as an aphrodisiac, it does have a decent amount of nutritional value with lots of omega 3 fats as well as a very low mercury content, which is something that you will not find in all types of seafood. Squid is part of the Teuthida order and is classified as being both a mollusk and a cephalopod.
