Chocolate:  Chocolate is filled with phenylethylamine and anandamine which both help to contribute to the release of endorphins in your body.   Endorphins are the pleasure-inducing hormones which are also released during physical exertion and sex.  Chocolate also has a high amount of cocoa in it which research has shown makes the body more sensitive to touch!  So when you are looking for a mood lifter, choose dark chocolate as this has a greater amount of cocoa and will enhance the effect.

Oysters:  These slippery shellfish are known to have a high concentration of zinc.  Zinc has been proven as a libido stimulator as it plays a major role in the production of testosterone and male sex hormones.  Oysters also contain 2 unique amino acids the body uses for increased sexual hormone release.  And finally, they have long been known as a natural aphrodisiac.

Watermelon:  This summer favourite has a large amount of citrulline, a nutrient that is responsible for relaxing smooth blood vessels.  It is said that citrulline acts as a natural alternative to many prescription libido medications.  So if you are looking for a special performance in the bedroom  this summer, reach for some yummy watermelon instead of a pill.

Phallic foods:  There some foods that do not have a strong impact on the libido per se but do have a significant placebo effect on the body which can increase arousal levels, decrease inhibitions, and act as a precursor to better sex.  Foods like strawberries, whipped cream, banana’s, and cherries can be fun and playful and lead to better sex.
