Aphrodisiacs for Love
Most people know that certain foods and
smells can cause an heightened feeling and emotion of sexual attraction, increasing of the hormone dopamine is released stimulating the pleasure centers, pulse quickening, skin flushes
and blood circulates more readily in the genital areas.
Aphrodisiacs were first sought out as a remedy for various sexual anxieties and deviations including fears of impotence and inability to sustain an erection, as well as a need to increase
fertility. Procreation was an very important moral and religious issue and aphrodisiacs were sought to insure both male and female potency.
Using scent can cause attraction, vanilla and cinnamon can cause allure and bring him to his knees, begging to touch! Men wear musk to drive her wild! But remember never too over spray,
an instant turn-off is bathing in your cologne, you do want your partner to smell your skin and smile not smell and gag!
But I will go back to scent later and how it can be used to your advantage not only in the bedroom but in other incidents.
Here's a list of foods right from my fridge, known to be aphrodisiacs because of their shape, form or aroma, while others claim a potent pleasurable chemical response once
consumed.
Aniseed
Also known as anise, the ancient Greeks and Romans believed that you could increase desire by sucking on anise seeds.
Avocado
The avocado tree was called a "testicle tree" by the Aztecs
because its fruit hangs in pairs on the tree, resembling the male testicles.
Bananas
Just holding a banana in one's hands can cause lewd thoughts
due to the phallic shape of the banana itself. Bananas are very rich in potassium a mineral involved in almost every vital body process: maintaining
blood pressure, heart and kidney function, muscle contraction, even digestion. " and B vitamins, which are said to be necessary for sex-hormone production.
Basil (sweet basil)
For centuries, people said that basil stimulated the sex drive and boosted fertility as well as producing a general sense of well being. The scent of basil was said to drive men wild --
so much so that women would dust their breasts with dried and powdered basil. Basil is one of the many reported aphrodisiacs that may have the property of promoting
circulation.
Chocolate
Chocolate has forever been associated with love and romance.
It was originally found in the South American rainforests. The Mayan civilizations worshipped the Cacao tree and called it "food of the gods." Rumor has it that the Aztec ruler Montezuma
drank 50 goblets of chocolate each day to enhance his sexual abilities.
Carrots
The phallus-shaped carrot has been associated with sexual stimulation since ancient times and was used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid seduction.
Chili peppers
Eating chili peppers generates physiological responses in
our bodies (e.g., sweating, increased heart rate and circulation) that are similar to those experienced when having sex. The capsaicin they contain is responsible for the effects and is
also a good pain reliever. Another reported effect of eating large quantities of chili peppers is an irritation of the genitals and urinary tract that could feel similar to sexual
excitement.
Cucumbers
Aside from its phallic shape, the scent of cucumbers is believed to stimulate women by increasing blood flow to the vagina.
Figs
Figs are another fruit that claims aphrodisiac qualities based on its appearance. An open fig is thought to look similar to female sex organs.
Garlic
Long ago, Tibetan monks were not allowed to enter the monastery
if they had been eating garlic because of its reputation for stirring up passions. Garlic increases circulation.
Ginger root
People have deemed ginger root an aphrodisiac for centuries
because of its scent and because it stimulates the circulatory system.
Licorice
In ancient China, people used licorice to enhance love and
lust. The smell appears to be particularly stimulating. In studies the smell of black licorice increased the blood flow to the penis by 13 percent. When combined with the smell of
doughnuts, that percentage jumped to 32. Hmm Donuts! doh!
Nutmeg
In ancient China, women prized nutmeg an aphrodisiac. In quantity, nutmeg can produce a hallucinogenic effect.
Oysters
Romans documented oysters as aphrodisiacs in the second century
A.D. They are known to be high in zinc, which has been associated with improving sexual potency in men. (An additional hypothesis is that the oyster resembles the female genitals.)
Recently, mussels, clams and oysters have been found to contain D-aspartic acid and NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) compounds may be effective in releasing sex hormones like testosterone and
estrogen.
Papaya
Papaya (like aniseed) is estrogenic, meaning it has compounds
that act as the female hormone estrogen. It has been used as a folk remedy in promoting menstruation and milk production, facilitating childbirth and increasing the female
libido.
Pine nuts
People have been using pine nuts to stimulate the libido since Medieval times. Like oysters, they too are high in zinc. Pine nuts have been used for centuries to make up love potions. The
Arabian medical scholar Galen recommended eating one hundred pine nuts before going to bed. Perhaps he was more nuts than normal?
