16 Foods that Up Your Sex Drive
1. Watermelon
According to the researchers at Texas A and M University, there's a nutrient contained in watermelons that can have a Viagra-like effect on the human body. It's called citrulline and is converted into arginine in the body.
Dr. Bhimu Patil has confirmed this, saying: "Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it."
2. Chocolate
What ISN'T chocolate good for?!
Not only is chocolate delicious,
but according to Esther Blum R.D. and author of Eat, Drink. and Be Gorgeous, it
is: "A great aphrodisiac, and it contains magnesium, which can make you
feel very relaxed."

Ginseng
Don't let this funky little root turn you off! It's actually to have said to boost the libido of women by like, a lot!
A research conducted at the University of Hawaii said they found women who took a ginseng supplement significantly upped their sex drive within a month and 68% of the ladies said their sex life improved dramatically! What the WHAT?!
Keri Glassman, author of The New You (and Improved) Diet! suggests: "Add ginseng into your diet or try one of the many ginseng teas available. Just don't jump at the sight of ginseng, though. Many energy drinks that claim to have ginseng in them also contain chemicals and tons of sugar, and there's nothing sexy about that."
12. Broccoli
Ladies, this veggie is good any way you want it! Not like, sexually, but if you're into that kind of thing...LOLz!
Author of The New You (and Improved) Diet, Keri Glassman suggests broccoli because of how much vitamin C it has! She says:
"Vitamin C aids in blood circulation to organs and has also been associated with an improved female libido."
13. Iceberg Lettuce
Who said salads were only for people who are trying to lose weight or be healthy?!
Dr. Clement recommends iceberg lettuce if you want to rev up your sex drive!
"Iceberg lettuce contains an opiate that helps to activate sex hormones."
14. Oatmeal
Okay, we know what you're going to say, "who wants to eat a bowl of oatmeal before having sex?!" Fine, maybe you weren't going to say that, but a bowl of this wouldn't hurt!
While oatmeal is definitely a testosterone-booster, it helps the ladies as well! Oatmeal is to said to contain L-arginine (again with the arginine!) which helps blood flows to your naughty bits!
Not only that, but it's an ingredient in lubes and love potions, too!
15. Pine Nuts
Like a few of the other foods before it in this gallery, pine nuts are filled with arginine which, again, helps increase blood flow, just like Viagra!
So, add some of these to your salad during dinner and get a kick out of the benefits later that night!
16. Almonds
There's a rumor way back in the day that the scent of almonds just get women going!
We're not sure if this myth is true, but these little babies are packed with zinc and according to Dr. Oz, it's the "ultimate sex mineral!"
Grab a handful, everybody!
