do certain foods actually affect people’s arousal levels? and if so, how do they work? do they actually work the same way that certain kinds of media portray, or is it less dramatic than that?

In addition to what others have said about nutrients etc, reading historical sources can be confusing because anything related to sex tended to be branded as “aphrodisiac”. In particular, substances believed to or actually capable of working as contraceptives or abortifacients. Which is why you might see some vile stuff referred to as “you won’t believe what those silly ancient people found arousing”- yeah, no, they didn’t find some stinky toxic shit arousing but figured it might get rid of the pregnancy which resulted from acting on arousal.
