Well, I'm sure you already know that certain foods like oysters are aphrodisiacs, but do you know why? Oysters and many other types of shellfish are high in zinc, which can turn up your pheromones. It's not the slippery feel or the singular taste of oysters that make them a sexy super food. The mineral helps the body produce testosterone, a hormone critical in regulating women's and men's libido and sexual function.
Pumpkin Seeds
They're a great source of zinc, which has been shown to boost sex drive by pumping up testosterone.
Almonds
Any food that's good for the heart is good for the loins because heart-healthy foods keep arteries clear and boost circulation to allow blood, oxygen and nutrients to flow freely!
Edamame
The antioxidants in soy provide natural lubrication for women and are one of the top foods for protecting men's prostates. One study found that soy compounds may help you look better naked by creating fewer and smaller fat cells.
Avocados
Energy and a healthy libido are crucial for great sex, and avocados can give you both. They're loaded with minerals, monounsaturated fats and vitamin B6 which all help keep your energy and sex drive up.
Chocolate
This has been linked with love and sex for good reason. It contains tryptophan, which helps the body produce serotonin, a natural feel good chemical that may play a role in sexual arousal.
Licorice
This candy is thought to mimic the effects of estrogen and progesterone, critical hormones for normal reproductive and sexual function and response. Eating it may help you get in the mood and stay that way more often.
I think i'm going to try making myself a deliciously orgasmic shake using these super sexy mood foods (minus the oysters of course)
