These dishes will instantly turn you on
By nature, you’re of course a sexy beast who’s always ready to go. I get it. But sometimes you’ve had a hard day at work, you’re tired or you have a headache—I get that too. Eat one of these things to bring out your inner sex kitten. For an extra Happy (ending) Valentine’s Day and every day after.
Fenugreek
During a study, men were given 600 mg of fenugreek extract daily for a period of six weeks. Guess what? They reported feeling more sexually aroused and having more orgasms. Bring on that Indian chicken curry with fenugreek!
Celery
It doesn’t strike us as the sexiest vegetable either, but it contains plenty of aldosterone, a male hormone that gets women aroused. Celery with hummus will do, but if you also need to charm your date, you’d better make this duck breast with celery.
Saffron
Men experience better erections, while women become more aroused and get an extra-wet pussy. Plenty of reason to eat risotto Milanese tonight.
Chili pepper
Chili pepper stimulates the production of endorphins (the stuff that makes you feel happy), literally makes your heart beat faster and makes you sweat nicely. So that’s also how you feel when you’re aroused, according to Meryl S. Rosofsky in the New York Times. Very convenient: it doesn’t matter one bit which dish you eat, as long as you serve it with a generous spoonful of chili sauce. How about quickly making these Thai fish or crab cakes with chili sauce!
Seaweed
The green strands contain lots of iron, calcium and iodine and act as an aphrodisiac. So next time you order sushi, simply get an extra bowl of seaweed salad. Or make these tacos for poké lovers.
Pistachios
You do have to eat a lot of them—100 grams of pistachios daily for three weeks, as in this study—but then, as a man, you’ll have increased blood flow to the penis and therefore stronger erections. Do you think Nadia and Merijn had that in mind too when they developed the recipe for this pistachio semolina cake with meringue?
Oysters
And what about oysters? They have a reputation as the ultimate aphrodisiac, but is that actually true? Yes and no. The high zinc content in this slippery snack leads to increased testosterone and sperm production. If you think you’ve ever gotten particularly turned on by eating oysters, you may have. But it’s probably mainly the association you have between oysters and sex—or the slurping—that causes arousal. At these addresses, it’s especially delicious to knock back oysters. What happens next is up to you.
And don’t forget to finish with a cup of joe, because it’s been proven: coffee improves your sex life.
