If You Have A Low Sex Drive, You May Need To Add These 13 Foods Into Your Diet

We need food to survive. Every goodie gives you the energy to walk your dog, run to the gym, snooze during a lecture, and, yes, get some.

You're boiling with hormones that influence your desire to roll around in the sheets and food is a crazy way to get you in the mood. Food is pleasure and you need it to stay healthy and strong. And by that, I mean to keep that cardio and stamina up for your bedroom mojo. You want a flexible, durable body. No bruises, please!

Use food to boost you up for a great, intimate workout.

Here are some aphrodisiacs that will get your body begging for more:

Honey

Sounds sticky and messy, but that's what "the birds and the bees" is.

Figs

Some say that a fig is the original temptress.

Watermelon 

Get this, it's a natural Viagra.

Cinnamon

This spice is the perfect way to heat up your sex life. Light a cinnamon bun candle, sprinkle cinnamon on your next meal and get ready for intimacy.

Pesto

Um, count me in. I'll have pesto on everything.

Dark chocolate

Dunk my body in chocolate. I dare you.

Asparagus

Surprised? Because I am! Asparagus makes your pee smell gross but it has vitamins that help produce stronger orgasms.

Green tea

What doesn't green tea do?!

Red wine

Grown-up juice is not only a go-to after a long day at work, but it's also a refreshing way to support needed blood flow making arousal and orgasm easier to achieve.

 Bananas

Yeah, yeah, bananas resemble d*cks. I've taught plenty how to put a condom on using a handy dandy banana, but that's not all these feel-good fruits are good for!

 Garlic

Garlic has an intense stench. I mean, intense doesn't even cut it. It's known to be a cure-all and I grew up with my mom's garlic-infused concoctions whenever I fell ill. Garlic is one powerful veggie and if you disregard the mood-killing reek, it boosts blood circulation to your sexual organs.

 Celery

Who knew this vegetable that barely tastes like anything could excite the human body in so many erotic ways.

 Oysters

We all have heard of these suckers. They may look like snot, but they're one erotic seafood.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
