Oysters are considered an aphrodisiac because of their shape and because they contain high levels of zinc.
"Some aphrodisiacs appear to gain their reputation from the principles of sympathetic magic, e.g. oysters, due to their shape."
"There are many aphrodisiacs found in nature. Some may have rare nutritional compounds that enhance sexuality in unknown ways, while others may fill nutritional gaps. For example, zinc is needed for libido. A human being with a low zinc status that would eat oysters (rich in zinc) may have libido levels go back to normal because of zinc levels returning to normal."

Men find anything that is slippery or slimy to be stimulating. Oysters are no different.
