Let's be clear from the get-go: there are not any foods that will ramp up sex drive. What you need is a healthy diet that will stabilize your physical and mental health, as well as regular exercise. However, there are some foods that might improve sexual ability with a stretch of the imagination, and, if you don't believe that aphrodisiacs are mythical, there are some convincing enough to at least get the placebo effect.

But the fact is, aside from medicine or long-term behavioral changes, there isn't much you can do to improve your sex. Still, let's go through the more interesting options and the ones that are important to avoid.

Stuff that MIGHT Work

Evidence is anecdotal at best, but try these:

Yohimbe - A vine said to be a "natural viagra". Personal accounts back this up and there is no health drawback.

Chickpeas - Garbonzos are recommended by the Kama Suttra to give men stamina. Either way, hummus is delicious and healthy. Why not eat it every day?

Truffle - "Experts" claim that truffle emit sex pheromones, but in reality they just smell vaguely musky. If it works, it works though.

Chocolate - The caffeine and antioxidants might improve sex given some time, but more, the creamy, silky taste is more like to get people in the mood. Sex is about sensory experience, and chocolate has it all: smell, taste, texture, and even the sound of biting into a piece or slurping it hot.

Alcohol - Don't overdue it. A binge won't help. But, a small taste or even smell - such as cooking a meal with brandy - will open up the amorous parts of the brain and put you in a mood.

Stuff that DOESN'T Work

Avoid the following:

Spanish Fly - Will aggravate your urinary tract, causing you to writhe in pain.

Oysters - High mercury levels can be dangerous. Though it works because it looks like the vulva.

Beef - You will not take on the properties of the bull. Red meat will lower your sex drive.

Rabbit - No truth to this one, and it tastes bad!

Meat will harm your sex drive more than help it.

Any Testicles - This does not work. Few enjoy the experience. Alcohol - Seriously, don't have a whole drink before. It could ruin you!

Exotics

People tend to think exotic foods, "oriental" delicacies, and things that are hard to pronounce are aphrodisiacs. This believe comes from a deeply embedded archaic racism that suggested non-Europeans were more basic and lustful. Now we attribute it to their food. Don't fall into this expensive trap.

Medicine

This is the only true aphrodisiac out there that works short-term. As science has advanced, we have gotten more and more options. The safest and most effective for E.D. Sufferers out there is Levitra. It comes in a simple little pill and will give you robust confidence and stamina to find boudoir bliss and satisfy your partner. For women, there are studies suggesting that Levitra may make it easier to orgasm. Talk to your doctor first, but there is a much better chance of Levitra working than anything above, and, pill-for-pill, pound-for-pound, it's cheaper.
