10 Natural Aphrodisiacs for Love
September 19, 2007 – 8:51 am
What is an aphrodisiac? Well, it can be a drug, scent, food, drink or device that some claim (usually those who market them) may kindle or increase sexual desire. Basically, aphrodisiacs are products that enhance sexual performance.
But for your wallet’s sake, today’s sex tip includes natural aphrodisiacs; in other words, stuff that you would either have around the house anyway, or natural ingredients that don’t require you to skip around the room on one foot while chanting ancient Chinese proverbs.
Now before I delve into all the yummy stuff that may cause your penis to remain erect for hours on end, keep in mind that the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) declares that there’s no scientific evidence whatsoever that proves that aphrodisiacs can treat sexual drawbacks. And to that I say, the mind is a very powerful thing. If it was only based on folklore, then how come so many people believe it to be so? Because our brains are the greatest sex organs we have, and food, scents and drinks are as pleasant to the senses as they are to the brain.
Fiery Foods for Foreplay
* Spices: Chili, curry and all those sweat-inducing foods are believed to have aphrodisiacal effects because they produce results much like sex would. Think about it; spicy foods increase our heart rate and cause us to perspire. So cook up some curry chicken and then give her a “spicy meatball” of your own.
* Oysters: Wow, I know you’re as surprised to see this one on the list as I am (yeah, right). We all know that oysters have been esteemed as sex aids for ages. Why? Well, it’s possible that it’s because of diets that were nutritionally deficient in zinc in the days of horse carriages and lasting marriages. People would eat oysters and since their overall health would improve, it would lead to an increased sex drive. So start shucking and don’t stop till you feel it move.
* Wasabi (horseradish): While some people believe that sushi has aphrodisiacal effects all on its own, my Japanese friends let me in on a little secret. Apparently, that green stuff that comes with it (wasabi, or horseradish) is what’ll really get your twig and berries ripe and ready. So the next time you go out for sushi, ask for some extra wasabi; it’s a kick and will make your eyes tear, but you can make your gal’s eyes tear when you take her home and show her Wasaaaaaaabi.
* Caviar: That’s right; fish eggs contain a large amount of beneficial vitamins. They are rich in phosphorus and are very nourishing to nerve cells. Their apparent aphrodisiacal powers are reinforced by vodka. So get yourself into Absolut shape for the night.
Divine Drugs
* Ginseng: The word ginseng means “man root.” So it’s likely that ginseng gained its popularity as a sexually enhancing herb via its similarity to the male, um, organ. While it is true that the root has a mild stimulating effect, like caffeine, there is no solid evidence that ginseng has an effect on human sexuality. But what the heck — increase your energy, and your sex life will follow suit.
* Yohimbine: Taken from the bark of an African tree, yohimbine is believed to work by stimulating the nerve centers in the spine that control erection. Although even the FDA found its studies on animals to be positive, there is still no scientific proof that yohimbine works on human beings. But some gentlemen swear by yohimbine, and like I always say: If it’s good for the goose, then slip on a condom and give it to the gander.
* Spanish fly: We have all heard about this little fly that can bring us to immeasurable sexual heights, but do you really know what Spanish fly is? It’s a bright green blister beetle from Southern Europe. The fly, or cantharis, is made from dried beetle remains and can be one of the most dangerous aphrodisiacs on the market. The sexual excitement initializes from the irritation to the urinary and genital tracts and results in a rush of blood to the sex organs. My suggestion: Keep away from The Fly.
Sexual Scents
* Vanilla: Because of its sweet, welcoming odor, it has a euphoric effect and can be used at will. If consumed, vanilla combats sexual debilitation and improves upon the central nervous system. Its odor implicitly acts upon sexual stimulation in both men and women . So add a few drops of vanilla essence to your bath and set the sensual mood for what’s to come (pun fully intended).
* Patchouli: This scent is believed to awaken and provoke sexual energy. If you’d like to try its aphrodisiacal powers, purchase patchouli in the form of incense. And while you’re at it, play some erotic music to add to the ambiance.
* Musk: Believe it or not, many experts believe that musk closely resembles the smell of testosterone (human pheromones), the male sex hormone. Now if you smell it and like it, that doesn’t mean you want to start playing for the other team. What you should be concerned with is her nose and what she likes. So bust out the musk and fill the room with man smell.
More to Come
* Yes, there are a multitude of other natural aphrodisiacs, but as I mentioned before, the most sexual aphrodisiac is the one between your ears. If you have the ability to sex up her mind with your own, you’ll have her begging for you to probe her in no time flat. Women love sensual as well as intellectual stimulation, so separate the boys from the men and let her know that you are da man!
* All that having been said, maybe you should break out the caviar and vodka and feed her slowly. Then perhaps you should add some ginseng to your diet for prosperity. And finally, light up some patchouli incense and get the night off to a banging start.
* And remember: Always protect your penile pal. Until next time, break out the food, spices and scents and discover the beauty of giving your woman all kinds of intense sexual desires with aphrodisiacs.
