Food for better sex

Fancy dinners, wine, nice chocolate -- sounds sexy, right?

Apparently not.

When it comes to sex-drive, the key is circulation, circulation, circulation. To get the blood flowing, try foods that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids (like mackerel and salmon), or L-Arginine (like nuts, granola, and chickpeas).

Women should try eating more soy. This binds estrogen receptors, which helps the vaginal area stay lubricated. Men need to know that "anything that's good for your heart, is good for your penis." For instance, artery-cloggers like saturated fats prevent blood flow to a man's genital region, which in turn effects his ability to perform.

And speaking of traditional romance -- fine dining, gourmet chocolates, late night cocktails, etc -- it should also be noted that studies show a very strong correlation between obesity and erectile dysfunction. So, next time you need to spice things up, don't be afraid to try some exercise!
