EAT these foods for a better SEX LIFE!

Open Wide and eat up! :2thumbsup:

10: Dark Chocolate
As far as classic aphrodisiacs go, chocolate is about as close to perfect as they get. Everyone knows the old semi-urban legend that chocolate has chemicals in it that simulate being in love (they’re called phenylethylamine and serotonin, which are mild sexual stimulants and mood boosters), but the benefits chocolate has in store for your sex life don’t end there. Dark chocolate is also rich in antioxidants and high in caffeine, two ingredients that can increase blood flow and jump-start the libido. Moreover, there’s a unique sensual aspect to eating chocolate. A BBC study also found that participants who let chocolate melt on their tongues had higher pulse rates, as well as brain activity similar to that experienced during passionate kissing.
This evidence doesn’t mean that all chocolate is going to do the trick. In order to get the right boost, you’ve got to choose pure, dark chocolate — eating a huge slice of devil’s food cake will just put you in the mood for an afternoon nap. Milk or white chocolate may satisfy your sweet tooth, but the added fat and sugar can slow you down. In order to experience the benefits without the added calorie load, to go for the darkest, least-sweetened chocolate possible.
9: Gelatin
Let’s face it: Sex can be a lot of work, and all that strenuous physical activity takes a heavy toll on your joints and cartilage. Flexibility, strong connective tissue and stamina are all important factors in maintaining a robust sex life, and one food that may have a positive effect on those joints is gelatin.
8: Red Wine
Red wine is a heavy hitter on any list of foods that improve your sex life. It lubricates conversation, calms the jitters, pairs well with a good meal and even provides the opportunity to impress a date with a little wine knowledge. However, one of the reasons that red wine has been used as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years (besides getting would-be partners a little tipsy), is what a sensual experience it is to drink it. The rich scent of the grape, the deep scarlet coloring, the burst of flavor as it hits the palate — nothing says seduction like red wine.
7: Oysters
When talking about libido-boosting foods, it’s hard not to mention oysters, the flagship aphrodisiac. While part of oysters’ reputation can be attributed to the placebo effect, the mollusk — especially in raw form — is one of the best sources for minerals you need to stay in peak form in bed. Oysters are powerful mineral supplements: 1 ounce of raw Atlantic oysters contains 10 percent of your daily value of iron and 91 percent of the B12 your body needs [source: NutritionData]. Moreover, they contain 170 percent of your daily value for zinc — some of the highest zinc content of any natural food. Oysters are also a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D, manganese, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
6: Oatmeal
Oatmeal may be America’s least titillating breakfast food, but what it lacks in sex appeal it can make up for with a powerful effect on your love life. What’s boring and bland in the morning turns into a burning flame of oatmeal-fueled passion at night.
5: Water
OK, it may seem a little obvious that you’ve got to drink plenty of water. But the benefits of water don’t end with avoiding dehydration. The holy grail of sex has been the search for a food or drink that will make semen and vaginal secretions taste more pleasant. And there are plenty of contenders. Some people swear by pineapple juice, cinnamon or parsley — all of which may help, but a few ounces of pineapple juice at the end of the day isn’t going to cover up the triple venti latte you had at 9 a.m. What comes out of us will always be the same stuff that goes in, and certain foods — such as asparagus, coffee, garlic and red meat — make your bodily excretions taste worse.
Hydration is the only surefire solution. While you can’t completely eliminate the effects of the garlic meatball sub you had for lunch, you can dilute the effects of the chemicals you’re putting into your body. Drinking at least 2 liters (67 fluid ounces) of water a day should do the trick. It takes about 24 hours to flush out from your body what you’ve eaten, so keep that water coming.
4: Bananas
Bananas aren’t only supremely convenient to eat on the go, they’re also packed full of the vitamins and minerals that will keep you on your game. As one of the best sources for potassium, you should really be eating bananas as often as possible regardless of how you intend to spend your energy. But bananas are also high in folate, which can enhance blood flow during arousal and aid in the production of new cells. A high folate diet means faster healing and recovery time, as well as increasing the chance of conception during sex and encouraging prenatal health during the rapid cellular growth of the fetus in the womb. What’s more, bananas are rich in fructooligosaccharide, a chemical that aids your ability to metabolize calcium, which promotes bone density, thereby reducing the risk of injury while under the covers. Not convinced? If nothing else, it should be easy to find a saucy way to eat them.
3: Blueberries
They say that the brain is the largest human sex organ, and blueberries might just be the perfect choice for keeping that organ in tip-top shape. Studies have linked blueberry consumption to increased memory and concentration, and enough blueberries can give you the mental focus to not only rock your partner’s world, but to remember his or her name afterward.
2: Chili Peppers
Heart racing, toes curling … and tongue burning? Chili peppers are another food that can get your motor running. Capsaicin, the chemical that gives you a burning sensation when you eat spicy food, is a thermogenic agent, meaning that it increases your metabolic activity. This gives you more energy and stamina and revs your body’s calorie-burning capacity.
1: Certain Food Aromas
There’s a connection among food, sex and scent. Our sense of smell is tied so deeply into our perception of food that we nearly lose the ability to taste without it. Smell is so entwined with the way we perceive sex that many people who lose their sense of smell also experience sexual dysfunction.
True aphrodisiacs may not even come from what we eat — scientists have found that we become aroused just by smelling certain foods. One recent study found that blood flow to the penis increased up to 40 percent when men were exposed to the scent of lavender and pumpkin pie. In women, blood flow to the vagina increased by 13 percent when female subjects smelled licorice candy, cucumber and baby powder.​

Scientists are unsure as to why certain smells have such a profound effect. Interestingly, the same study found no significant change in blood flow when participants were exposed to perfume and cologne. There’s just something magical about pumpkin pie and licorice.
