However, they’re also other foods and drinks that have aphrodisiac qualities. Try these foods and boost your libido, deliciously.
We suggest a cocktail for every one of them for consolation if they don’t turn you on.
Nuts
The tasty nuts contain selenium, a nutrient that stimulates the production of healthy sperm and ova and. Nuts increase the blood flow, contributing to a stronger erection. They have high levels of energizing zinc, which is linked to a healthy sex drive. For a fun date night, make a pesto with basil, olive oil, and pine nuts.
Truffles
The truffles’ musky aroma imitates the male pheromone’s scent, androstenone. But, the aroma isn’t the only characteristic contributing to an aphrodisiac reputation. They’re high in protein. And their short season and rarity make them among the most luxurious and elusive, goods in the culinary world.
“Truffle. As soon as the word is spoken, it awakens lustful and erotic memories among the skirt-wearing sex and erotic and lustful memories among the beard-wearing sex. This honorable parallelism comes not only from the fact that this esteemed tuber is delicious, but also because it is still believed to bring about potency, the exercise of which brings sweet pleasure.” – Jean-Anthelme Savarin, 1825
Honey
It contains boron and B vitamins that regulate testosterone and estrogen levels, providing a natural energy boost. However, its aphrodisiacal success is attributed to the fact it provides a sugar rush. This rush is similar to the strong rush you feel when turned on. Both sex and sugar rush trigger the same dopamine and opiate responses in the brain. In this way, you experience joyful feelings and cravings for more sugar and sex.
If you’re a fan of gin, things are starting to look even better for you! You must try the gin cocktail with lemon and honey. This cocktail will lead to arousal and you can make a lot of it since it can last up to 3 months. Read the preparation process here.
Banana
