Bananas are an extremely erotic fruit! There’s the obvious fact that they’re shaped like a man’s ding-dong, which means they can be eaten in a very suggestive way. However, bananas also contain high levels of potassium and B-vitamins, which are essential chemicals in sex hormones.
Oysters: Oysters are one of the most well-known aphrodisiacs. The secret to the erotic powers of oysters lies in their high zinc content. Zinc is essential for the production of testosterone, which stimulates the libido in both men and women.
Legendary lover Casanova apparently ate around 50 oysters per day. Queen Cleopatra is also known to have loved them.
Avocado: Avocados were used as an aphrodisiac by the ancient Aztecs, whose name for the avocado tree was the “testicle tree.” This sensuous, oily fruit contains vitamin E (the “sex vitamin”), which boosts the production of sex hormones.
Chili peppers: Chili peppers contain the chemical capsaicin, which not only makes them spicy, but also stimulates nerve endings, makes you sweat, swells your lips, increases your heart rate, and makes you hotter. It can also cause you to release endorphins, giving you a natural high. Talk about a superfood!
Watermelon: Watermelon’s association with the long hot days of summer make this pink, juicy fruit quite a sexy snack! Watermelon has an almost Viagra-like effect, as it contains large amounts of citrulline. This compound can relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, speeding up arousal.
Salmon: Salmon is full of protein, which is great for stamina! It is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can increase serotonin levels in the brain, elevating your mood and making you feel good. Walnuts and pumpkin seeds have the same aphrodisiac effects.
Blueberries: Blueberries are chalk full of compounds that relax your blood vessels and improve circulation. Pop a few of these in your mouth before a romantic evening and you’ll feel great all night long. Blueberries are also great, sexy treats to feed to each other in bed.
Pine nuts: Pine nuts are actually the edible seeds of certain pine trees. They have a long history as an erotic food, and they were used as an aphrodisiac as far back as Roman times. The aphrodisiac powers of pine nuts come from their high levels of zinc, which stimulates the libido.
Ginger: This exotic spice stimulates circulation and heightens sensitivity in your erogenous zones. Take your sweetie out for some ginger-heavy thai food or sushi to kick off a steamy night of passion!
Cekery: Celery might not seem like a very sexy food, but it actually contains androsterone, a hormone released in male sweat that can cause sexual arousal in women. Unfortunately, the jury is out on exactly how the androsterone found in celery effects the human body. Wouldn’t hurt to dip a few sticks in peanut butter before your next romp!
