Eat and drink your way to better sex. If you’re planning a romp for Valentine’s Day, make sure you find the oomph factor by including some aphrodisiac fare in your diet in the run-up to romance.
BREAKFAST
Porridge and honey: As well as giving you plenty of energy, oats help testosterone production and contain B vitamins linked with boosting sexual performance.
Squeeze some honey on top too – it contains boron, which regulates sex hormones.
Slice of wholemeal toast with peanut butter: The high levels of monounsaturated fats in peanut butter increase feel good dopamine in the body and are known to increase sexual arousal in women.
Peanuts also contain a substance called L-arginine that helps men get turned on.
Scrambled eggs and salmon: Packed with protein and zinc, eggs will help boost libido while salmon is stuffed with omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain healthy circulation.
MORNING SNACKS
Bananas: Not only do they look erotic, they have minerals and vitamins to perk up passion, from muscle strengthening potassium to vitamin B6, which is associated with better orgasms.
Chocolate: Chocolate contains chemicals that naturally feed our feelings of happiness. In a 2004 study in Italy, researchers found that women who ate more chocolate felt more sexually fulfilled.
LUNCH
Cheese and cucumber sandwich: A 2006 study discovered that the smell of cucumber was one of the most arousing for women while cheeses, especially potent ones, imitate human pheromones, the scent signals that arouse our partners.
Avocado Salad: The folic acid in avocados increases stamina.
AFTERNOON SNACKS
Doughnuts: Blokes get turned on just by the smell, according to research by the US Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation.
Liquorice: Used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times, in China it’s thought to stimulate the female sex glands and boosts hormone production.
NIBBLES
Pistachios: These are the perfect pre-dinner nibbles as a Turkish study showed they could boost blood flow.
Popcorn: Settling down to a movie later? Get in some popcorn. It’s another food that contains L-arginine which can increase sperm count.
DINNER
Starters
Celery and dips: The green stuff is a bite of all right as it contains androsterone, a hormone that attracts women when men perspire.
Asparagus tips: The posh food is believed to have properties that lead to better orgasms in both men and women.
Main course
A curry: Contains a range of libido-lifting ingredients.
Chillies stimulate nerve endings for heightened sensation.
Ginger is linked to increased sexual desire while the allicin in garlic increases blood flow to the sexual organs.
A steak: Another food that’s full of zinc, while the protein also tops up the feel-good chemicals in your brain. Put mustard on the side – it’s believed to stimulate sex glands.
Seafood platter: We all know oysters are an aphrodisiac thanks to their testosterone-boosting zinc. But other seafood, like prawns, do the same job.
Desserts
Vanilla ice cream and strawberries: The smell of vanilla has been found to be extremely erotic and the minerals in it are thought to boost endurance in the sack. Add fresh strawberries for another dose of zinc.
Watermelon: It has a magic ingredient called citrulline. This speeds up the amount of nitric oxide in the body and means you get aroused more quickly.
DRINKS
Coffee: A US study found that those who drink coffee daily have more sex than those who don’t.
Glass of wine: An Italian study found that this was the best drink to help women get in the mood. Red wine contains resveratrol that can help blood flow during sex.
Champagne: While too much alcohol will sap your energy, champagne is a good choice to lift your spirits as the bubbles mean you feel the effects a lot quicker than with other drinks.
Beer: Hops contain the female hormone oestrogen, meaning a pint could do wonders for the female libido, but is sadly more likely to sap a bloke’s ability.
