So, what better theme to pursue for a honeymoon than a quest for zinc-rich, sex-drive boosting, bivalve heaven. We don’t know if it’s the fact that many drink champagne with them, or if it’s the sounds we make when we slurp them down, or if it’s where we are and what we’re doing and who we’re with when we munch them, but oysters have an amorous reputation.
