12 Foods That Make Great Sex Even Better

Aphrodite had something sexy going on back in ancient Greece and now you can too! Aphrodisiacs, foods that increase sexual desire , are named after the elusive goddess of sensuality, and are your sure ticket to a night of romance and sexual heat.

Spice up your lust life by serving your honey a dish using some of these ingredients and you’ll be well on your way to increased carnal lust and better sex!

1.    Bananas – It may be obvious that bananas can be a turn on because of their penis-like shape. But there’s actually more to these yellow suckers than meets the eye: potassium, which increases muscle strength. You’ll know your muscles have been primed when a super strong orgasm knocks you off your feet – if you happen to still be standing up, that is!
2.    Hot Chilies – These spicy little daredevils are packed with capsaicin, a chemical that increases circulation and stimulates nerve endings. Also, they’ll make you hot and sweaty and ready to strip off some layers! Spicy peppers = spicy sex.
3.    Chocolate – Not that we ever need a reason to indulge in this tasty treat, but it always helps to have a strong justification, especially if that justification can spice up your lust life! Cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate (good chocolate, that is, not cheap sugary junk), contains phenylethylamine. This stimulant makes you feel good and get sexually excited – two important ingredients for an enjoyable one-on-one nooky session.
4.    Watermelon – Want to speed things up a bit? Do it with some watermelon in your system. The citrulline found in this juicy melon causes blood vessels to relax while it speeds up circulation. It’ll take less time for you to get super aroused. Bring it into bed for a sweet, sticky post-coital treat, too!
5.    Pomegranates – Brimming with antioxidants, eating pomegranates (or drinking its delish juice) will support healthy blood vessels which in turn allow an increased amount of blood to stream through your body. With a libido booster like that, you’ll have blood flowing to your genital area in a rush, boosting sensitivity and pleasure along the way.
6.    Asparagus – Asparagus is rich in vitamin E which increases testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone in your bloodstream. These sex hormones are responsible for stimulating vaginal lubrication and clitoral swelling.
7.    Avocados – Similar to asparagus, avocados contain a high dose of vitamin E. The more hormones you have circulating your system, the more revved up for a romp in the sack you’ll be.
8.    Red Wine – Relaxing, yes, but red wine does oh so much more than just take the edge off. It contains a healthy dose of the antioxidant resveratrol, which increases blood flow before and during sex, making whatever goes on between the sheets more intense and satisfying.
9.    Vanilla – The only way to make good things feel even better is to stimulate those nerves so that what you normally feel all of a sudden feels more intense. Vanilla will do just that for you. Make sure your ice cream has natural vanilla flavoring before you start spoon-feeding delectable mouthfuls to your sweetie!

10.    Oysters – Oysters are perhaps the most popular aphrodisiac. They contain loads of zinc which helps produce testosterone. More testosterone means more libido. Also, there’s just something about this messy, slimy finger food that just screams out sexiness.
11.    Salmon – Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which make sex-hormone production run efficiently. With peak hormone levels, you’ll be feeling frisky well into the night!
12.    Walnuts, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds – These nuts and seeds also contain loads of Omega-3. Stay well stocked with these tasty snacks and you’ll be well on your way to life full of fulfilling sex.
