If you'd rather fall asleep than have sex, it may be time to boost that libido. Forget everything you've learned about foreplay and lingerie. The real secret to bedroom bliss may start long before your head hits the pillow. Truly great sex starts in the kitchen, with foods that have been used for centuries to increase desire.
Though there are dozens of over-hyped supplements for sex, Mother Nature has provided everything you need to get in the mood. We've pulled together a list of the very best, all-natural eats that'll give you the hottest sex of your life. Some of them are backed by science, others are just damn sexy bites that'll make you feel like a minx.
Ultimately, that's what matters — if you find a food sexy, enjoy it! Eat a cherry with your bare teeth. Lick salted chocolate from your lips. Because a the end of the day, there's nothing sexier than someone thoroughly savoring life.
1. Chocolate has been touted for centuries as a sex booster. Who are we to disagree? Especially since finding this Flourless Chocolate Cake from Gimme Some Oven. If this doesn't scream "Let's have amazing sex now," we don't know what does.
