Highlights

  • What you eat can enhance your sex life, providing specific nutrients and having effects on the body.
  • A well-rounded diet can help protect against erectile dysfunction and other bedroom issues.
  • Lifestyle changes are key to maintaining a healthy sex life, no matter what your age.

We often hear it’s important to eat your vegetables, get omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, and follow other health advice. But underreported in these editorials and well-meaning advice is that they can have real benefits for your sex life. Learn how what you eat can ramp up how you perform in the bedroom.

1.  Vegetables and Fruit

Vegetables and fruit are great sources of vitamins and nutrients that are needed if you want to really go for a “marathon session” in the bedroom. They are also full of water and easy to digest, so they will keep all of your muscles lubricated and ready for action. An additional benefit is that they are low fat and high in fiber, so in the long run, they help prevent heart disease and erectile dysfunction. One extra tip: The less you cook the vegetables, the more nutrients they retain, so eat some lightly steamed veggies and let the games begin!

2. Oysters

Everyone has heard the rumor that oysters are an aphrodisiac, maybe because of the shape and appearance of the shellfish. Doctors laughed at this until they realized that oysters are loaded with zinc, a nutrient vital for a man’s reproductive and sexual function. However, if you plan to eat them raw, make sure they’re fresh and prepared properly, or your romantic evening may be spent cuddling with the toilet instead of your partner.

3. Asparagus

Asparagus

Although this could fall under the fruit and vegetable category, asparagus is so valuable to sexual wellness that it deserves its own entry on this list. Asparagus is extremely rich in vitamin E, which has been shown to stimulate the production of testosterone in men. Testosterone promotes muscle growth, sex drive, and overall confidence. This amazing vegetable is great for increasing the libido of both men and women! In particular, lightly steamed asparagus or shaved asparagus in a salad can give you the best effects.

4. Mackerel and Salmon

The pleasure of sex all revolves around stimulation of the nervous system, and omega-3 fatty acids make your nervous system function better. Fish like mackerel and salmon are packed full of omega-3’s. It also enhances circulation, which is vital for both male and female sexual stimulation

5. Beer and Wine

Drinking wine or beer in moderation can be beneficial for heart health, according to a 2021 study. If your heart is unhealthy, then everything else will suffer, including stamina in the bedroom. Wine also has antioxidants, which can improve general health and help to prevent prostate cancer. Of course, there is also the relaxation and the lowering inhibitions that can be very beneficial in the bedroom. 

Just don’t overdo it; too much alcohol can backfire and leave you with erection difficulties. At the very least, you could find yourself snoring beside a very upset partner!

6. Nuts and seeds

nuts and seeds

Nuts are rich in the aforementioned zinc and high in fiber, while some, like walnuts, are also a good source of omega-3s. In addition, nuts are full of L-arginine, a key amino acid that helps you build protein and generally keep your body running properly. Some seeds, like roasted pumpkin seeds, may have even more benefits in the bedroom, although we’ll need more research before we can say that conclusively. 

Either way, they’re an ideal snack to keep up your energy and your libido. Consider keeping some nuts, either plain or lightly salted, on hand for when you get peckish.

7. Apples

Much like asparagus, while any fruit or vegetable is generally good for you, apples go above and beyond. An apple a day, it turns out, really does keep the doctor away, in part because apples are rich in substances like quercetin, which can help protect against cardiovascular problems, stress-related diseases, and possibly even cancer.

Among other things, apples can help you keep your circulatory system in better shape, which helps prevent ED and keeps you ready to go. One thing to remember — the majority of the good stuff is in the skin, so sadly, you won’t get these benefits with a slice of apple pie.

8. Beetroot Juice

If you’ve ever wondered why the gym cooler is full of beet-based drinks, it’s because beets can boost your workout. Specifically, in addition to the fiber and the iron that gives them their famous taste, beets are full of dietary nitrates. Nitrates work in the body to relax your blood vessels, improving blood flow to the muscles. That relaxation can help you hit new heights in the bedroom as well as the weight room. 

Even better, you get the same benefit from other forms of beets, like cooked beets or even pickled beets, so if you’re not in the mood for a shot of the red stuff, you can still get the benefits.

9. Chocolate

chocolate pieces and grated

It turns out there’s a good reason we give each other chocolate on Valentine’s day. A small amount of chocolate turns out to improve your mood by helping to release neurotransmitters, such as serotonin.

As for which chocolate to eat, the darker the better, as you’ll get more of the beneficial properties and less of the fat and sugar. Mix small squares in with some of your favorite nuts to get a trail mix ideal for both the hike and the hotel room after.

10. Garlic

While it may potentially be murder on your breath, garlic can be worth the stench. Raw garlic, in particular, is high in allicin, which has modest but positive effects on a wide range of ailments, including on the circulatory system. Better circulation helps you have more energy and bolsters blood flow everywhere. Just keep a package of mints on the nightstand.
