Aphrodisiacs That Work

At some point in almost everyone's life, a little extra boost to the all-important sex drive is needed. Sex is an important part of life and a very healthy and natural experience. In order to get the most out of it, though, sometimes an aphrodisiac is needed. The following are some aphrodisiacs that really work.

Oysters

• These shellfish are probably the most famous aphrodisiacs around. They really do work, too, because they are full of zinc, which naturally boost the libido of both men and women, and increases sperm count as well.

Tomatoes

• These are also known to some as the "apple of love" because eating tomatoes gives a natural boost to the sex drive in men and women. They also aid in muscle control, which can be useful during intimacy as well.

Avocados

• Another natural aphrodisiac is the avocado. These are full of vitamin E, which boost sex drive and increases the intensity of orgasms in both sexes.

Dark Chocolate

• Having a little dark chocolate is actually very healthy for you. For one, it releases phenyl ethylamine in the brain, which is the same compound released during sex. Chocolate gets people in the mood by mimicking the brain's reaction to sex.

Yohimbine

• This is a popular aphrodisiac made from the bark of an African tree. It is used by men and works by stimulating nerves in the spinal cord that are partly responsible for getting and maintaining an erection.
