6 Libido Boosters from Around the World
1. SPICY FOODS: Spicy foods get your blood flowing and naturally turn up the heat in your body (which also fires up your metabolism). A few international flavors to include into your dishes:
–Mexico: Jalapeno peppers and Habanero chillies
–Louisiana: Tabasco sauce is an all-American hot sauce consisting of mashed, aged red peppers, combined with vinegar and salt
–India: Curry comes in several colors and intensities. It’s a mix of spices including hot turmeric.
–Thailand: Sriracha is a super hot chili sauce or paste often found in Asian restaurants
–Japan: Wasabi, the Japanese horseradish often found in sushi
–South Africa: Peri Peri sauce from African Bird's Eye chilies
2. YOGA: Yoga is more than a flexibility-making om session. According to Beverly Whipple, PhD., certified sex researcher and Professor Emerita at Rutgers University of New Jersey, certain yogic positions, like the Eagle pose, directs blood flow to your pelvis, creating a warm and relaxed sensation, increasing desire and arousal.
3. BLACK LICORICE: Huge in Finland… black licorice is the candy that just might get you in the mood to get randy! A study conducted by Alan R. Hirsch, neurological director, Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, revealed that women who were exposed to the scent of black licorice reported a 13 percent
increase in blood flow to the nether regions compared to a 1 percent reduction from the scent of men’s cologne
4GINGER: You don’t have to travel to Japan (though if you can, why not…) to sample this stimulating root. Particularly revved up after a Sushi date? It may be the Ginger, which is a powerful circulatory system stimulant, sending blood to the sexual organs…
5. CHOCOLATE AND WALNUTS: Stimulate even more of your senses with chocolate and walnuts. Chocolate instantly boosts production of phenylethylamine, a chemical that directly affects the brain’s pleasure center, increasing the intensity of orgasms! Walnuts are loaded with manganese, which can activate an increase in your body’s release of the “feel good” chemical dopamine.
7. WORKOUT: Libido is both about a chemical and emotional high. More than mentally being in the mood, if you want to have better sex, you’ve got to get the blood flowing! How? Specific stretches, cardio, strength, and a lower back massage helps too. The great news is, you can do this libido lifter without leaving your house, or anywhere else in the world.
