SEX FOODS

We asked Spencer Walker, author of Cook to Bang: The Lay Cook’s Guide to Getting Laid, which foods he considers the best sex boosters.

WATERMELON

“It’s like a natural Cialis,” Walker says. Watermelon contains the chemical citrulline, which naturally triggers the production of the same potent enzymes in the blood that these meds pump into your body to get blood flowing to your privates.

SEAFOOD

Fish and shellfish have protein and omega-3 fatty acids to boost circulation, plus a bounty of natural testosterone enhancers and zinc.

AVOCADOS

The Aztecs ate them to increase prowess. Avocados’ ample fiber, folate, glutathione, and vitamins B6, C, and E also help to keep your heart healthy.

GINGER

This Asian staple is hailed in the Kama Sutra as one of the best ways to boost arousal. It increases your heart rate and gets blood flowing to all your extremities—especially that one.

ROSEMARY

Toss some on chicken or a pork chop. The same compounds that give the herb its rich scent will also make your skin—and hers—more sensitive to the touch.

CHILIES

Whether jalapenos or habaneros, chilies are packed with compounds that help increase your heart rate and enhance your body’s pleasure receptors, making every sensation you experience more intense.
