When I’ve got a hot, naked lover inside me, the last thing I’m thinking about is what I ate that day for breakfast. The hottest sex takes your mind away from everything else in the world. The only thing that exists now is the rhythmic merging of the hot yin and cool yang energies radiating from our bodies. But is great sex all in our minds?

 In our bodies, hard, wet, eager sex is when a.) nerves fire strong, rapid impulses to and from the clit, dick and vagina. b.) when sex hormones are balanced, and c.) when blood vessels deliver a great supply of blood. The food we eat very much affects this “trifecta of great sex:” Here are a few easy tips to have a sex-healthy diet:

Increase Sexual Pleasure by Eating Berries & Apples

Increase Sexual Pleasure by Eating Berries & Apples

Why? Because they have lots of polyphenols. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that prevent and repair blood vessels and nerves from oxidative stress damage. This means better blood flow and stronger signals of pleasure by nerves when our clit, vagina or dick is touched, caressed, and rubbed.

Improve Your Sex Drive with Green Leafy Vegetables

Eat more leaves. Leaves, according to research, reduce the stress hormone cortisol, which will help optimize testosterone. This is important for male and female bodies to improve libido and pleasure. Leaves also nourish blood vessels and improve nerve conduction. The best part of all is that leafy greens like spinach and green lettuces even dilate blood vessels in the short run, which leads to a night of hot sex! In one study, people ate ONE serving of spinach, and two hours later, their nitric oxide levels, which is what opens up blood flow, were EIGHT times their average level! Try making a salad every day for lunch. It’s a small change that has enormous benefits to sex.

A Diet Full of Refined Sugars Causes Lousy Sex

A Diet Full of Refined Sugars Causes Lousy Sex

Sugars, found in cookies, cakes, soda, and candy, make for lousy sex because they disrupt estrogen and testosterone. This affects sex drive, lubrication, pleasure, and orgasm. Refined sugar also reduces nitric oxide, which helps relax penile and clitoral smooth muscles, allowing arousal to take place.

Bananas, Potatoes, and Squash Increase Sensitivity to Touch

Eat bananas, potatoes, and Squash to Increase Physical Touch Sensitivity

Why? Humans used to take in about ten times as much potassium as sodium from our diets. Now it is just the opposite. We consume ten times as much sodium as potassium. This damages blood vessels and compromises blood flow. We all know that males need good blood flow for sex, but most people don’t realize how important it is for female sexual pleasure and climax. Blood flow is necessary for lubrication and improves our partner’s or partners’ sensitivity to touch. Baked yams, potatoes, oranges, squash, and bananas have abundant potassium.

Reduce Salt to Increase Blood Flow to Sexual Organs

Reduce Salt to Increase Blood Flow to Sexual Organs

Research shows that one high-salt meal stiffens arteries within two hours! Unfortunately, processed foods have boatloads of the stuff. Eating like this in the long-term causes damage to blood vessels and poor circulation. For great sex, we want abundant blood flow to our sex organs, so eat fresh, unsalted foods when possible.
