What Foods Are Good for Your Sex Drive and Promote Sexual Endurance?
Fruits are bursting with anti-oxidants and fiber, so stock up on your favorites. My husband and I prefer apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, pomegranates (already known for their aphrodisiac qualities), raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
Enjoy phallic-shaped scrumptious veggies such as carrots, corn, and zucchini. Asparagus is good for your sex drive, but it will make your semen taste bitter, so enjoy asparagus in moderation if you are concerned about taste. is a small green shrub with yellow flowers that is found throughout Mexico and South America. Indigenous people of the region have long used damiana as an aphrodisiac. Fans of the TV show CSI: Miami were introduced to damiana when the herb was used in scenes where it was mixed with expensive chocolate. It's ideal in tea, and I'd recommend adding a sweet herb to it such as peppermint or spearmint, since damiana has a slightly bitter taste. Women who drink a cup of damiana tea one or two hours before having sex experience heightened pleasure. Don't take damiana if you are diabetic.
Gingko Biloba, also known as the Maidenhair Tree, this herb has been shown to increase circulation in blood vessels just below the surface without increasing blood pressure, so it's ideal to use for erectile difficulties.
Yohimbe. This African herb has been shown to improve a man's staying power. You need to wait about thirty minutes for yohimbe to take effect, and the effect lasts for several hours. Take safety measures when using yohimbe and use it responsibly. Talk to your doctor first. According to the mothernature.com web site, "To be safe, if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, use yohimbe only under the care of a professional. Also, don't take it with diet aids, commercial nasal decongestants that contain ephedrine, or with cheese, red wine or liver, since combining any of these with yohimbine (the active ingredient in yohimbe) sometimes causes side effects, such as headaches."
L-Arginine. This non-essential amino acid is used in sexual stimulants, since people who have used it report longer and more intense orgasms. In men, l-arginine improves blood flow, resulting in harder, bigger, and longer lasting erections. In women, l-arginine encourages blood flow to the vaginal area, making the vaginal tissues and clitoris more sensitive and very responsive to sexual stimulation. Women who increase their l-arginine intake are better able to reach orgasm.
Saw Palmetto. This herb has long been recognized for its healing properties regarding the prostate gland in men. It also helps to alleviate hair loss in both men and women. This herb has an interesting effect on women regarding their hair because it both alleviates hair loss in women as well as reduces excessive growth of dark facial hair. Saw palmetto has been prescribed for women suffering from acne and irregular menstrual cycles. It has also been used by women to enhance milk production in new mothers, increase breast size, and decrease menopausal problems. Do not take saw palmetto when pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
Sarsaparilla. The root of this vitamin and mineral packed vine aids both men and women in the production of sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and desoxy-corticosterone. Saponins and plant steroids found in many species of plants (including sarsaparilla) can be synthesized into human steroids such as estrogen and testosterone. Please do not confuse this plant with the sarsaparilla that is used to flavor tasty soft drinks.
Ginseng. Long revered for its sexual properties, ginseng promotes blood production and encourages the secretion of sex hormones in men and women. Ginseng strengthens a man's sex organs. It also boosts sexuality, circulation, and energy. Ginseng improves your vitality and general energy, so it's good to take for overall health reasons whether you are male or female.
Ginger. This tasty root (not the powdered spice variety) has been deemed an aphrodisiac for centuries because of its heady smell and the way in which it promotes circulation. Fresh ginger root steeped as a tea also eases stomach upsets. When I have a tummy ache, I always steep a few slices of fresh ginger root in boiling water. Does the trick like a charm! It's great in Asian food and tastes wonderful with seafood. Freshly cut ginger root is also used in a kinky sex act called figging. Having experimented with figging, I can attest that it is the bull’s bollocks!

Add more tomatoes to your diet. The tomato, known as the "love apple", is a source of lycopene, a known enhancer of libido. Add vegetables to your diet to turn up the heat on your love life, including beans, watercress, leeks, onions, garlic, and spinach.
I love seafood, and I'm happy to report that seafood enhances your sex drive. Oysters, long known for their aphrodisiac qualities, are rich in zinc and iodine, essential for the production of testosterone in men and women. Other seafood that improves your sex drive are deep, coldwater fish, such as cod and halibut; and shellfish: clams, oysters, scallops, lobster, and shrimp.
Cut down on red meat, which makes you feel sluggish. Nothing puts a monkey wrench in your sex life like feeing too full and tired. Instead of red meat, eat lean meats such as chicken and turkey. If possible, choose organic meats that are low in hormones, antibiotics, and additives. Beans, nuts, and seeds are high in protein as well, and they will improve your sex drive and stamina. Both men and women benefit from a well-balanced diet that will enhance their sexuality.
Last but not least is that ultimate guilty pleasure, chocolate. Specifically dark chocolate. The delightful dark brown creamy bundle of decadence is high in phenylalanine, an amino acid that raises the body's natural anti-depressants – endorphins. Enjoy chocolate in moderation so that you don't end up feeling too bloated. Chocolate can lift your mood and libido. What's not to love?
Foods That Kill Your Sex Drive, Performance, and Ability To Come To Orgasm
Fried food and rich cream sauces dull the senses and make you feel sluggish rather than aroused and sexy. Too much salt, sugar, highly processed foods, and fat contribute to a lackluster sex drive and they kill your stamina. These foods also weaken your ability to achieve orgasm. Limit your consumption of booze and coffee because both impair your sex drive and stamina whether you are male or female. A glass or two of a fine wine is okay to have because it helps lower inhibitions, but getting drunk, especially on a regular basis, won't make your sex life more enjoyable.
Another habit that contributes to erectile dysfunction as well as impaired enjoyment of sex is smoking. Smoking constricts blood vessels, which affect the ability to achieve an erection. If your blood vessels are too constricted, blood can't adequately flow through them into your penis, and you end up with a limp one. This is especially problematic for men with erectile difficulties, like my husband. Not fun. And I'm all about fun.
Putting More Spice in Your Sauce – Foods That Make Your Semen and Pussy Taste Better
Your diet affects the taste of your sex organs and secretions. Certain foods make semen taste bitter as well as making pussy secretions taste and smell strong. A woman's taste and scent changes from day to day. There are many factors affecting her taste and smell, including where she is in her monthly cycle, whether or not she is menstruating, and what she has recently eaten. According to sex writer Violet Blue, friendly bacteria lactobacilli reside in a woman's vagina, so when her vagina is healthy she will have a sweet and slightly pungent taste and smell, much like plain yogurt. A woman's taste ranges from tangy to salty, with a hint of the metallic thrown in when she's close to having her period. The metallic taste comes from the iron in her blood.
Here's what to do to make your sweetie taste sweet instead of bitter:
1. Cut down on red meat. Red meat is the number one culprit in creating a strong taste. Related to red meat is dairy. Cut down on milk, cream, and ice cream. I won't say eliminate red meat and dairy altogether because so many people – including my husband and I – enjoy a good steak dinner followed by an ice cream dessert. Just cut down your intake, and increase your intake of poultry to make up for the loss. If you can cut meat out of your diet altogether, you will notice a dramatic effect on your sweetie's taste whether that person is a man or a woman. Vegan or vegetarian men have semen that tastes sweeter than men who regularly eat your basic red meat steak and potatoes with lots of garlic and onion meals.
2. Garlic and onions are both are high in sulfur, which makes semen and pussy secretions taste bitter. They also carry their strong flavors, affecting your taste. Unless you like semen and pussy that tastes like a rancid pizza, garlic and onions must go.
3. Add fruits and fruit juices to your diet, especial melons, kiwi, pineapples, and pineapple juice. All of these, in particular pineapple, will make a man and woman taste sweeter.
4. Men should eliminate veggies from the cabbage family from their diets, since they make semen taste bitter. I like some of these foods, so they were sorely missed. That meant no more asparagus (wah!), Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli (wah!). Food high in sulfur should be axed, including legumes, nuts, and seeds. There is a trade-off here, since these foods improve your sex drive and stamina. This is especially true of beans, nuts, and seeds, which are high in protein. What is more important to you, your taste or your sexual stamina? A good suggestion is to not completely eliminate these foods but to eat less of them if you want to improve your taste.
5. Add green, leafy veggies that are high in chlorophyll to your diet. Celery is number one when it comes to improving your taste whether you are male or female. Other veggies high in chlorophyll are parsley and wheatgrass.
6. Drink a lot of water, and cut down on soft drinks. Try an iced herbal tea instead. Drinking lots of water flushes toxins from your body, giving you a more pleasant taste and smell. I make my own iced tea out of hibiscus flowers, rose hips, and peppermint, so I'm set. My tea is high in vitamin C and bioflavinoids, and it is very anti-oxidant. Plus it tastes like Kool Aid without the sugar high.
Depending on your diet, you may improve the taste of your semen and vaginal secretions. It's very easy and very enjoyable. Not only is the Hot And Sexy Food Pyramid very healthy for men and women, it's a pleasant diet anyone may enjoy. And the benefits of improved sexual pleasure that result from following this diet can only please anyone who follows it.
