Foods That Can Actually Increase Your Sex Drive

By Dawn DePhillips

Can food really increase your sex drive? I found that the foods below can help with your sex drive and stimulate the psyche, and since the brain is the largest sexual organ in the body, let's get on it. If cupid had a fork, he would be serving some options from the menu below...eat up my friends.

Eggs -An Egg A Day Keeps Your Libido Going All Day

Want to encourage morning sex, eat eggs for breakfast. Eggs are high in vitamin B6 and B5 and can help with keeping the stamina in the sack. Go on and scramble up or eat a hardboiled egg to keep your energy up and maintain your hormone levels.

Oatmeal -The Testosterone Booster

Maca can help with hormonal balance and help increase the libido along with helping to enhance fertility.

Avocados -The Sexy Shaped Fruit

The ancient Aztec’s nickname for avocado was the testicle, because of the fruit’s shape and how they tend to hang in pairs from the trees. They have been known to have aphrodisiac properties that keep stamina levels up and can help with erectile dysfunction.

Figs -F Is For Fertility

They are also high in zinc which is essential for healthy sperm and preventing testosterone deficiency in men.

Almonds -Omega-3 To The Rescue

Essential for reproductive health, almonds are rich in zinc and selenium. The omega-3 fatty acids stir up those juices, and also help with boosting blood circulation.

Chilis - It's Getting Hot In Here

Chilies contain capsaicin which is known to rev up your libido. They also promote the release of chemicals that promote circulation and can raise your heart rate, giving you a double the pleasure of a mood and libido booster.

Vanilla is known as a natural sex driver booster. The scent of vanilla can increase lust. They say that adding it to your diet can increase your sexual appetite. As early as the 18th century, they claim it was given by doctors to increase male potency.

Cinnamon - Pour Some Cinnamon On Me

Cinnamon increases the body temperature and increases sexual urge. It also can help to normalize blood sugar levels. Cinnamon is considered to be one of the most effective natural aphrodisiacs.

The cacao beans are where chocolate comes from, and have more antioxidants than red wine. It also contains the chemical phenylethlamine that is known to stimulate the sense of excitement...ooh la la I knew I loved chocolate for a reason.

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.

But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace.
