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).
SEXUAL PIE ETYMOLOGY
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".
Fetishes
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.
