What would you eat to make you want it? How to restore lost sexual desire? Make it stronger? Since ancient times, people have noticed the connection between food and sex. It turns out that many foods are directly related to libido levels. .
Special substances - aphrodisiacs - help strengthen sexual attraction. They harbor powerful sexual magic and hide ancient secrets.
What are aphrodisiacs?
The Latin origin of the word 'aphrodisiac' shows how ancient it is. The concept came to the modern world from ancient Greece and is directly related to the ancient goddess of spring, love, beauty and eternal fertility: Aphrodite. The literal translation of 'aphrodisiac' is 'love pleasures'. This definition was not chosen without reason. The Greeks believed that with the help of nutrients, sexual attraction between people could be caused or increased.
Looking back or the tale of the search for a miracle cure for passion and desire
In ancient documents from different cultures, you can also find information about miraculous remedies that increase attraction between the sexes. In China, it was believed that it was possible to increase arousal with the help of seafood, especially oysters and shrimps. While the Koreans believed in the 'strength' of wild snake meat, the Japanese - mussels, the Egyptians - garlic.
The authors of other academic treatises preferred to resort to avocados. And the famous Kamasutra recommended eating a rice dish with the addition of stewed onions, sparrow eggs and honey. If you think this culinary masterpiece is too exotic, you are sadly mistaken.
In the old days, it was believed that libido could be increased with the help of rhino powder. The demand for such a remedy was so great that it led to the mass extermination of innocent animals.
Later, the ability to have a beneficial effect on libido was attributed to the horns of various animals: deer, bulls and other cattle. The sexual organs of dangerous predatory animals, such as the tiger, walrus and others, were held in particular esteem. In Spain, there is still a tradition that any matador seeking to increase his masculinity and sexuality must eat the testicles of a defeated bull.
As aphrodisiacs, foods of natural origin that are familiar to the human body can act. Besides spices, aromatic oils, preparations derived from medicinal herbs, pheromones - odorous substances produced by animal glands.
The most effective aphrodisiacs are chocolate, strawberries, dry red wine, celery and seafood. As you can see, a rather 'delicious' list of dishes. Any product on this list can become the basis of a nutritious and promising dinner, which can turn into an equally promising breakfast.
How aphrodisiacs 'work' and how effective they are
Aphrodisiacs are products and substances of natural origin that increase a person's sexual activity and sexual desire. Do not assume that aphrodisiacs have a strong stimulating effect that is uncontrollable and can cause unexpected behaviour. Each person is a complex combination of various body characteristics. These include thought, temperament, willpower and other characteristics. Acting in a complex way, they control every process in the body, including sexual arousal.
At the same time, any person seeking to increase libido with the help of aphrodisiac products should understand that these products can only increase arousal and not make it 'from scratch'. The American Food Association (FDA) issued a report in 1898 stating that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that any product is an effective libido enhancer. According to the FDA, aphrodisiacs are nothing more than folklore. But despite such a solid claim, people are still, as they were hundreds of years ago, searching for a magic potion that can awaken sexual desire and increase sex drive.
The algorithm for the impact of aphrodisiacs on the human body is quite simple. Entering the body through the respiratory system, the mouth or the skin, stimulants begin to act as hormones involved in the formation of libido. Moreover, different aphrodisiacs have different effects on human behaviour. Some - increase sexual desire, others - allow you to be liberated, others - increase sensuality. In addition, aphrodisiacs strengthen, rejuvenate the body, and help resist depression.
There are some effective aphrodisiac products and spices. Those that have selenium and zinc in their composition (they are necessary for the formation of testosterone, the sex drive hormone) have the greatest effect on libido. And also sufficient quantities of vitamins necessary for the synthesis of hormones, reducing body fatigue. These include vitamin E, B1, C, A. It is important that the products are also rich in fatty acids, easily digestible proteins. After all, they give the body energy.
It is best to saturate the body with aphrodisiacs in the afternoon, ideally two hours before the planned lovemaking. You cannot eat too much, thinking that this will increase libido as much as possible. After the meal, there should be a slight feeling of hunger. It is then that the body will be ready for a sexual fight and will not be busy digesting food.
