Looking for a way to up your bedroom game? Here are 10
luscious foods to eat that will help you become an excellent performer
in the bedroom.
Looking for a way to improve your bedroom performance? Go nowhere
else as all the answers are found here. Here are 10 luscious foods to
improve your performance in bed according to SheKnows.
1. Foods rich in vitamin B12
Any food rich in vitamin B12 will help the body with energy
production, and with so many options to choose from, it’s easy to get
more B12 into your diet. These options include eggs, shellfish, beef,
caviar and fortified tofu. Once you’ve had your B12 feast, you can
expect increased blood circulation and strength. It also helps to
elevate mood.
2. Raw oysters
The myth about oysters being good for you in bed is actually true.
Oysters are high in zinc, which stimulates testosterone, a hormone
useful for building and maintaining desire in both men and women. They
also deliver amino acids that have been linked to $exual desire, and
omega-3s, which help keep you in the mood. They also have lots of B12.
Win-win. “Oysters create more $exual stamina because you are so
turned on. Maybe it is all the zinc and B12, but once people make
oysters a part of their eating routine, they crave them. And then they
crave something else,” says Dr. Drew Ramsey, assistant clinical
professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and author of Eat
Complete: The 21 Nutrients That Fuel Brainpower, Boost Weight Loss, and
Transform Your Health.
(It’s always best to remember that eating raw shellfish can lead to
food poisoning, so get your raw oysters from reputable sources only.
Nothing says un$exy diet like tummy trouble.)
3. Asparagus
While there is the nasty rumor that asparagus can make your pee
smell, don’t cross this pungent veggie off your list of romantic foods
altogether. As Tristan Weedmark, Global Passion Ambassador at We-Vibe,
explains it, asparagus is chock-full of vitamin E, which can help to aid
in the production of testosterone.
And for the couples who are hoping to get a little bit more out of their night of passion, Weedmark says, “In addition to increasing stamina, asparagus can boost $ex drive as well as sperm count.”
4. Avocados
Lovers of guac, rejoice! Avocados are so insanely nutritious that
they are considered by many to be a superfood, and Weedmark categorizes
the tasty fruit as a $exual superfood too. For starters, he says,
avocados are an extra-rich source of monounsaturated fats and vitamin
B6.
“These help keep energy levels up, which is crucial for
endurance in the bedroom. They also contain mood-boosting omega-3 fatty
acids, and of course, feeling happy can’t hurt when it comes to $exual
interest and performance,” Weedmark explains.
5. Gr*pes
Of red gr*pes, Rebecca Lewis, in-house RD at HelloFresh, says, “They are a good source of boron, which is a mineral that helps stimulate the production of both estrogen and testosterone.”
Both these hormones have been shown to aid men and women in bedroom
performance: estrogen for libido in women, and testosterone for physical
stamina of any kind in both men and women.
6. Watermelon
Watermelon is packed with citrulline, a natural chemical that helps
the body increase oxygen flow in the blood. If possible, try to find a
way to mix watermelon with garlic and/or ginger, both of which are found
to cause blood to flow into the private parts in both women and men.

7. Lemon
When you’re making that romantic Valentine’s Day, anniversary or
TGIF meal for your boo, don’t forget to put on the finishing touch —
fresh lemon zest is not only flavorful, but it may be an “underutilized enhancer of pleasure,”according to Dr. Ramsey.
For men especially, Dr. Ramsey says that a zest of lemon will have an immediate below-the-belt impact. He explains,
“Compounds in the pith act much like Viagra, and others in the zest
promote a dreamy, pleasurable state by stimulating the brain’s opiate
receptors.”
8. Pomegranate
Pomegranate is an ancient symbol of romance seen throughout
literature, and it’s making its modern-day comeback in the new
millennium. We already know that pomegranates are kind of hard to eat,
which means you may have to spend a few extra minutes licking the pulp
off your date’s fingers. But that ripe and juicy fruit that strangely
resembles the female anatomy also has nutritional benefits — as a prime
source of antioxidants and a booster of $exual appetite.
“The antioxidants present in this delicious fruit are a triple threat!” Lewis says. “They help increase testosterone production, improve blood circulation and improve mood.”
9. Nuts
The puns may abound when serving nuts before $ex, but
L-arginine-rich nuts, like pistachios, peanuts and walnuts, can have a
powerful effect when eaten pre-nookie. Lewis says, “It’s all about
the L-arginine! L-arginine is an amino acid, which stimulates the
production of nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels, which in
turn increases blood flow to the pen*s, strengthening erections.”
Lewis adds, “Bonus: Watermelon contains an antioxidant that transforms into L-arginine once ingested.”
10. Chocolate
Is there anything chocolate can’t do? In particular, dark
chocolate, while already being $exy on its own, helps release chemicals
in the brain that lead to euphoria. This can help lead to a prolonged
$exual experience. It’s also packed with antioxidants, which generally
make the body perform better.
Dr. Ramsey says, “Coffee and dark chocolate are Mother Nature’s
stimulants. Doubters should try a double espresso and 3 ounces of dark
chocolate before their next morning romp.”
