Since the beginning, people (most especially men) all across the world have been searching for a miracle food that will help raise their sexual desire or that of their partners. Some believe that oysters are effective in increasing libido, while others tend to put their faith in exotic foods, such as the balls of an Asian tiger or a bark of a tree that can only be found in the Amazon. Although many attest to the effectiveness of such aphrodisiacs, studies and research that back these suppositions are still lacking.
Below are some foods that can be seen around the kitchen that is believed to be an effective aphrodisiac.
Dark Chocolate
Anyone who feels anxious and stressed is usually not in the mood for some sex. Take out stress, be relaxed and happy and you will be more open to doing the deed with your partner all night long. One of the reasons why dark chocolate is on top of the list of foods that help spark an active sex life is that it enhances the production of endorphins, a hormone that makes individuals feel good, relaxed and happy. Just eat a couple of dark chocolate squares after dinner and wait for your mood to change from catty to naughty.
Honey
A couple of teaspoonful of honey a day can actually do wonders for your sexual relationship with your partner. Since this naturally produced sweetener is a simple carbohydrate, it is a main source of instant energy. Furthermore, pure and unadulterated honey contains boron and B vitamins which are needed by the body in order to use female sex hormone estrogen (Boron). Vitamin B on the other hand is vital in the production of male sex hormone testosterone.
Celery
This is not only a must for dieters, but also the missing ingredient in reviving sexual attraction between long time couples. Raw celery is a good source of androsterone, a male hormone that helps mimic the effect of pheromone that makes a man more attractive and irresistible to women. Women can also benefit from eating celery because it helps elevate their mood.
Banana
Stamina or endurance in the bedroom maybe a big issue once you hit the 40ish to 50ish age bracket, copulation that used to last for several hours is replaced with a short and often unsatisfying sexual encounter. Banana helps the production of testosterone that will improve endurance for some foreplay and the main act itself. Eating banana a few hours before trying to get it on with your partner is advisable.
Ginger
Many think that this pungent root is an unlikely candidate for an aphrodisiac. However, ginger is actually valuable in promoting good blood flow, particularly in the genital area. If you don't like to eat ginger before the love making because of fear of bad breath, you can actually just sniff fresh ginger to increase blood flow to your vaginal or penile area and increase that organ's sensitivity.
