Sex is funny! We love it, but there is so much taboo around it. Going on a special date? Sure you are secretly wishing that the night ends in a horizontal tango. When you come back home after a tiring day, nothing refreshes you like being in bed with him. Or if you think you are falling in love, making love seems to symbolize sealing the deal. Sex is intimate and personal, and it is the most beautiful way of expressing true love. There is a lot to know about sex, but let’s start with giving you a list of seven foods that kill your sex drive:

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers:

When food gets too hot, you tend to break into little beads of sweat and a runny nose. A big turn off to that special guy! Chilies contain a component called capsaicin, which not only gives it its fiery nature, but also increases the body temperature that leads to sweating. You want to save all the sweating for once you are in bed with him.

What you could eat instead is a whole lot of herbs to give you just as much of flavor. Load up with desserts, but then again, always remember that too much sugar is bad for your libido.

2. Broccolification:

Not like you don’t know this one, but foods like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can end up making you feel bloated and gassy. These veggies contain a sugar called raffinose, which adds to the pungency in the gas. You don’t want to be farting and burping while he is preparing to get into bed; it will blow him miles away. Pun unintended!

You can replace these with asparagus. Asparagus is known to flush out excess water from your body, therefore reducing that bloating sensation.

3. Going Bananas:

Bananas are packed with healthy goodness, but they also increase melatonin, a hormone that induces sleep. And it is by no means a negligible increase (440 percent is a huge incline). You want to be anything but a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ in his bed.

Honeydew, on the other hand, will help with the water retention and make you look slim and fine.

4. Almonds And Milk No-Miracle:

Although this one is quite rare, it is possible you gobble up a great dessert that uses almond milk. However, packaged almond milk contains a thickening agent called Carrageenan. The ulcers and inflammations are side affects you would notice later, but what would need immediate attention is all the gas and the bloating. You don’t want to have a ballooning belly when you get naked.

Instead, have a natural, additive-free version of the drink.

5. Soy Spoiler:

Eating soya products on a hopeful night is almost like digging your own grave. Soya is known to decrease your libido, and soya sauce contains way too much salt. Apart from bloating, the high sodium content decreases blood flow to the genitals and this makes it hard for him to keep up his erection and for you to reach an orgasm.

Make sure to go low on salt and soya when you are hoping to get some action. If soya sauce is a must, it’s a good idea to go low-sodium, sex or no sex.

6. The Meaty Let Down:

However macho a meat eater sounds, surprisingly, vegetarian men are proven to have a more masculine and attractive odor. Not just that, rich and fatty foods also induce drowsiness. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Make your man shed his omnivorous instincts for a week, and notice how much more you want him.

7. Not A Fresh Breath of Air:

It might be extremely tempting to pop a mint before you get cozy. But if you choose spearmint, which you most likely will, you will probably change your mind and hit the couch instead. Confused? Well, spearmint is known to reduce testosterone, a hormone that is also required for libido. This one is the most potent killer of that pretty wonderful sex drive.

Opt for fruity or cinnamon flavored mouth fresheners, or even better, keep sipping on water. Apart from keeping you fresh smelling, it also has a plethora of other benefits.

Food plays a big role in feeling sexy and being sex-ready. So make sure you eat right to feel right for the pleasure of sensual living.
