Extravagant medicinal techniques and psychological therapies to boost your sex life is a thing of the past. One of the best ways to increase your libido and ensure that you have a good time with your partner is by indulging in certain food items known as aphrodisiac foods.
As the very name signifies, aphrodisiac (Aphrodite: Greek goddess of love) foods awaken our pleasure senses and stimulate glands to heighten both female and male sexual performances. Here, we introduce you to a world of exotic foods that will act as natural stimulants to spice up your sex life.
Chocolates: Chocolates have long since been a symbol of romance and passion. It is said that women produce almost four times more endorphins after eating chocolates than they do after a passionate foreplay. What's more, you can even stimulate and "paint" your partner with new and intriguing techniques using melted chocolate.
Oranges: A sweet and seductive fruit, orange can be used as a good alternative to chocolates to entice and allure your partner for a passionate experience.
Asparagus: Did you know that in the 19th century, the prenuptial dinner for French bridegrooms included three servings of the juicy asparagus spears? Many people refer to these perennial plants as erotic asparagus primarily because of its ability to evoke a feeling of lust in both men and women. For centuries, ancient sexologists and researchers like Van de Velde have debated and discussed the significance of asparagus in improving sex life. Asparagus is a great source of potassium, fiber and vitamins like A, C, Thiamine and Folic Acid. The latter is said to boost the production of histamine in the body which is necessary for reaching orgasm in both sexes.
Eggs: When was the last time you were able to enjoy an unhurried and "stress free" time with your partner? With our regular routine work life and mundane worries, we often don't find the time and zeal to spice our sex life and be better lovers. This is where Vitamin B5 and Vitamin B6 present in eggs come into play. Both of them being stress-reducers, helps in increasing our sex drive besides supporting our overall health and fitness.
Watermelon: If you are hoping for some fireworks in your sex life, start eating multiple servings of watermelon every day. Considered as a natural Viagra, watermelons are a rich source of an amino acid called citrulline which helps in blood vessel dilation. Thus, it can be used as a natural treatment for erectile dysfunctions (ED).
Saffron: If you are looking for instant effects, be sure to add adequate quantities of saffron to your diet. Consumption of saffron has been shown to boost sexual desire as per recent studies conducted on benefits of natural aphrodisiacs. They are produced from dried stigmas of a flower called Crocus sativus and are often used in regular Indian, Italian and Spanish cuisine.
Garlic: We often take our sexual health and drive for granted unless we face some severe problems. Avoid that and take regular caution by consuming garlic on a daily basis. Garlic's aphrodisiac properties have been known for a long time as it helps to enhance sex drive, libido and sexual function in both men and women. This is primarily due to the presence of high levels of a compound called allicin that increase blood flow to the sexual organs.
