Aphrodisiac food: what they are and how they work

Can you imagine a life without knowing the pleasures of chocolate, fresh strawberries or seafood? Well, thanks to the friendly little chemical receptors on your tongue, roof of your mouth and throat, you don't.

For the most part, the tip of the tongue reads sweetness and the back of the tongue is sensitive to bitterness with salty and sour receptors found on the top and sides of the tongue. The signals move through the limbic system, which also reads the odor messages. Given the close proximity of the taste and smell pathways, it's no wonder there's a symbiotic relationship between the two.

While it is generally true that denying one sense enhances the others, we can now see that this has nothing to do with the relationship between smell and taste. However, taste will be greatly enhanced by the removal of other senses, most notably sight. It can be extremely erotic to enhance the sense of taste with the blindfold game. Take turns blindfolding and feeding each other some tasty foods like juicy fruits or fine cheeses.

Light the fire

Stories about aphrodisiacs and their abilities to increase sexual desire have been around for decades and range from seeds to candies to snakes. There is much debate as to whether true aphrodisiacs exist, but there are certainly reasons why some may work as triggers for sexual enhancement.

The most powerful aphrodisiacs work on both a physiological and psychological level. The smell of jasmine, perhaps, could be a physiological aphrodisiac that also psychologically takes you back to that incredible night when you had sex in the garden next to the jasmines.

Many of the foods advertised as aphrodisiacs can simply be considered sexual because of the shape. Consider the phallic shape of carrots, cucumbers, bananas, squash, courgettes and licorice, or the female sexual organ design of clams, mangoes, figs, kiwis, artichokes, peaches and passion fruit. Eating them can feel sexual because of how they look or how juicy, dirty, or wet on the tongue. There are some foods, however, that have caught the attention of scientific researchers with the authentic enhancements they provide.

True aphrodisiacs

⦁ A crunchy celery stalk contains two pheromones that can help men attract women.
⦁ Vanilla ice cream can increase your libido and make your orgasm more powerful. When men smell the scent of vanilla, it lowers their inhibitions.
⦁ Brazil nuts can help keep sperm cells healthy. If you prefer almonds, you're in luck, as they are also vitamin E that increase libido.
⦁ Blueberries are the power food for men with erection problems. They're loaded with soluble fiber, which helps push excess cholesterol through the digestive system, and are packed with compounds that help relax blood vessels, improving circulation throughout the body.
⦁ The naughty-looking banana can help your body produce sex hormones a few hours before sex and convert carbohydrates into energy to give you more stamina between the sheets.
⦁ A cube of dark chocolate daily can lead to greater desire and better overall sexual function.

⦁ Cherries are sweet and tasty, but they also stimulate the production of pheromones and have potassium which is essential for the production of sex hormones.
⦁ Cucumber is a phallic-looking food that arouses women both by aroma and taste. Nutritionally, it provides several essential nutrients for sexual health, including vitamin C and a mineral called manganese.
⦁ Strawberries are attractive to look at and delicious to eat, but they are also a great source of vitamin C and are rich in antioxidants that benefit the heart and help lower cholesterol.
⦁ Chewing black licorice increases love and lust as it contains plant estrogens and stimulates the sex glands, yet delivers oxygen to female genitals 40% faster.

Are they aphrodisiacs or not?

Many believe that alcohol is an aphrodisiac, but it doesn't increase sexual interest as much as it lowers inhibitions. Quickly absorbed through the digestive system and bloodstream, the drink impairs judgment, impairs memory, creates mood swings, and reduces control of motor skills. Sexually, these consequences diminish performance, healthy decision-making, and the quality of relationships. It also has the ability to undermine self-esteem, which makes sexual pleasure difficult. Doubts about love, attractiveness and worthiness run rampant. And let's not forget that too much drinking can mean little sexual sensation, including impotence. Alcohol is haunted by an aphrodisiac paradox. When the threshold of "just enough" is crossed, the substance goes from sexually good to sexually bad.

A different but similar paradox is found in drugs designed to treat erectile dysfunction. Some men consider the introduction of Viagra to be the greatest medical advance in history. As grand as it sounds, it gives an idea of how important virility is in the minds of many. Proclaimed by some sexologists as "the greatest aphrodisiac of our time," Viagra and its siblings are certainly noteworthy, but the drug in action doesn't exactly fit the formal definition of the word.

Sildenafil Nitrate is the drug commonly known as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. People consider it an aphrodisiac, but clinically there is no evidence that this impotence treatment alters sexual desire. Without the desire component, sex is like digestion. The system produces a physical change (the penis fills with blood), but the physiological component that defines a true aphrodisiac is left out.
