Oysters Rock a Fella

Throughout recorded history, Man has searched for ways to increase a woman’s desire & libido, enhance his own sexual prowess, and make bedroom miracles happen.  Is there any truth to the legends about the sexual potency of your local produce aisle?

Sometimes a Banana is Just a Banana

Let’s get this out of the way first: Raw oysters can increase libido. They can also get the testosterone pumping. Even better news: oysters are not the only food similar to genitalia that can improve your sex life.  Since there is no female Viagra yet, maybe some of this advice may offer a temporary substitute.

Bananas contain enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that increase energy and combat impotence. Avocados can also increase energy levels. Walnuts, almonds, pecans, and other nuts contain the essential fatty acids a man’s body needs to produce hormones.

The list doesn’t stop at weenie and punani foods; keep your diet rich in a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins.  Your libido increases with energy and blood flow, so look for foods that are high in proteins and low in fat. That means, of course, that sugary and/or deep-fried fatty foods are out if you want a chance at impressing that hot young thing you’ve been admiring at kickboxing class.

Two foods that have been getting a lot of comparisons to ED Medications lately are celery and watermelon. The former contains a male hormone called androsterone that some researchers claim acts like a pheromone when it is released in your sweat. While the science seems to have some validity, the effects have not been proven and this one will sit in the Urban Legend pile until someone comes up with some more solid evidence. The other promising plant is the watermelon, which contains a chemical called citrulline. This substance causes the body to release arginine, which results in relaxed blood vessels. The effect is not organ-specific like Viagra, but come on—who doesn’t love watermelon?

Serving

Food and sex is about more than just the ingredients–preparing, serving, and consuming foods in erotic ways can be a major part of the sexual experience.

Get creative. Think of ways to make these foods sexy and appealing and you will have cooked yourself up a situation in which you just can’t lose. Many properties attributed to food require huge amounts to consume high enough levels of the desired ingredient; take turkey, for example. You’d have to eat ten whole turkeys to get enough Tryptophan in you to reap the benefits of that sleep-inducing chemical, but by then, you’d be in a food coma, anyway. It’s the same with aphrodisiac foods: Your method of presentation can be all that it takes to turn your kitchen into a sex lab.

Sexual Chocolate

It’s been said that women prefer chocolate to sex. While there has yet to be conclusive proof that chocolate increases libido in either sex, it contains PEA, tryptophan, and anandimide, which simulate the effects of amphetamine, promote serotonin release, and mimic marijuana, respectively. Again the amounts contained in an average serving may be useless, but more study is needed.

So now you have a reason to buy your lover some chocolate. Even if it doesn’t have them immediately writhing in ecstasy, it definitely won’t hurt your chances.
