Share This

Forget clichéd oysters and pricey Champagne - the ingredients you really 

need to rev up your sex life are already in your kitchen.

1 ASPARAGUS


The folate in asparagus increases levels of histamine, a neurotransmitter that helps you orgasm. At least that's one thing to make up for asparagus wee, then...

2 BANANAS

Bananas are actually very sexy fruits - no, not like that! They're packed with potassium, which is essential for sexual hormone production.

Go bananas with a vegan pancake recipe or this delicious green smoothie recipe.

3/ BROWN RICE


Brown rice is a top source of magnesium, which your muscles need to contract (read: spasm) during an orgasm. Stir-fry tonight, anyone?

Not only is it an aphrodisiac, but rice can also help you lose weight! Score!

4 DARK CHOCOLATE


According to a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, people who eat at least one square of dark chocolate a day experience greater desire and better overall sexual function.

5/ CHILLI SAUCE


Get saucy and turn up the heat in the bedroom with some chilli. Eating capsaicin – the chemical that gives chilli its heat – mirrors the signs of arousal (sweating, tingles, rapid heart rate, flushed cheeks). Hot!

6/ OATS


Granted, it's not the sexiest looking food but porridge has a hidden talent – it increases testosterone. Turns out that testosterone is vital for both men and women's sex drive. Who knew?

7/ HONEY


Honey contains boron, a mineral that helps women’s bodies process estrogen - vital for arousal. Sweet!
