(Exclusive ) Foods that are Good for Séx

séxologists, cardiologists, and psychologists agree: how much you consume has a huge impact on your séxual health. Essentially, what is good for your heart is good for better séx.

1.Spinach and other green vegetables
Spinach is a potent source of magnesium, which helps dilate blood vessels, according to Japanese researchers. Better blood flow to the genitals, as you've learned, creates greater arousal for men and women.

2.Unsweetened tea
The antioxidant catechin found in tea promotes blood flow all over the body for séx power and brainpower; it enhances memory, mood, and focus. One particularly potent catechin, a compound called ECGC prevalent in green tea, is thought to increase fat burn.

3.Oranges
Men who consume at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day improve their sperm counts and motility, according to research at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

4.Eggs
Over easy, hard-boiled, or scrambled, eggs aren't the most sensual food on the menu, but it's hard to beat them for a fit and healthy body inside and out. Eggs are rich in vitamins B6 and B5, which help balance hormone levels and ease stress, and are important for a healthy libido.

5.Red wine
Sounds like the makings of a good time to us! Italian researchers recently found that the antioxidants and alcohol in the wine may trigger the production of nitric oxide in the blood, which helps artery walls to relax, increasing blood flow to the genitals. Just limit yourselves to a glass or two. More alcohol than that can put a damper on séxual performance and lead to bed spins of a not-very-séxy nature.

6.Meat
Red meat. Lean cuts are great sources of zinc, a mineral that curbs production of a hormone called prolactin, which at high levels can cause séxual dysfunction.

Zinc is also a key muscle-building nutrient, and the high concentrations of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) in beef, studies show, may spur weight loss. Choose filet mignon or other deep red cuts with round or loin in the name, because they are the leanest.

7.Beans
While they may not be the best choice for a side dish if you plan on séx for dessert, building your meal plan around a foundation of beans and legumes will ultimately pay off for you séxually. Many studies show that bean eaters are leaner and healthier than people who don't eat beans.

Beans is rich in potassium which regulates blood pressure and heart contractions, something you'll need as your heart starts racing when he does that special move that makes you melt.

8.Fatty fish
Oily coldwater fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and tuna should figure heavily into your weekly meal rotation. The omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA found in fish help to raise dopamine levels in the brain that trigger arousal.

9.Oats
Eating oats is one of the few natural ways to boost testosterone in the bloodstream. The male hormone plays a significant role in séx drive and orgasm strength in both men and women. Oats (as well as seeds, ginseng, nuts, dairy, and green vegetables) contain L-arginine, an amino acid that enhances the effect nitric oxide has on reducing blood vessel stiffness.

L-arginine has been used to treat erectile dysfunction. Like Viagra, it helps relax muscles around blood vessels in the penis. When they dilate, blood flow increases so a man can maintain an erection.

10.Oysters and other shellfish
Raw oysters actually do have a connection to séxual function. Oysters hold more zinc than most any other food, and it is believed that this mineral may enhance libido by helping with testosterone production--higher levels of the hormone are linked to an increase in desire.

Zinc is also crucial to healthy sperm production and blood circulation. Other good sources of zinc are shrimp, red meat, pumpkin seeds, poultry and pork, eggs, and dairy products.

11.Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate contains a compound called phenyl ethylamine that releases the same endorphins triggered by séx, and increases the feelings of attraction between two people.
