Foods to Get You in the Mood

Chilli

Aside from making you feel hot and tingly inside, chilli is full of capsaicin, a chemical that can induce the release of feel-good hormone endorphins.

Chocolate

Melt-in the-mouth and super-sensuous, chocolate is a deliciously sexy food. Full of love chemicals, it affects the pleasure-centres of the brain and peaks during orgasm.

Honey

Oozy honey really is the nectar of the gods! Trace minerals found in honey help metabolise the female sex hormone, oestrogen.

Oysters

Slippery and cool, oysters are a libido-booster for men. Rich in zinc, they increase sperm production and dopamine, a mood-enhancer.

Bananas

Aside from their rather suggestive shape, bananas are considered a sexy food because they assist with sexual stamina.

Almonds

Want a little bedroom action? Try a handful of almonds. They're packed with vitamin E, which boosts blood flow to the sex organs.

Garlic

Garlic is nature's own Viagra. By dilating blood vessels, it increases blood flow to the sex organs. Just make sure you and your partner share the garlic bread!

Figs

Figs are much more than a fleshy erotic-looking fruit - they are high in amino acids which act as a powerful sexual stimulant.

Nutmeg

This pungent spice has long been believed to boost your libido and stimulate your sexual appetite - so add a grating to the top of your cappuccino!

Celery

Celery is a super-food when it comes to getting you in the mood. Containing a male hormone called androsterone, which acts as a pheromone, it arouses females sexually.

Avocado

Aztecs used to call avocado trees, 'testicle trees' because of the way avocadoes hang in pairs. Rich in B6, they increase sexual stamina and energy.
