No Such Thing As An Aphrodisiac? Nonsense.
Chocolate and oysters will get you in the mood. Licorice will not.
We've all heard about aphrodisiacs and the supposed boost they can give to our sex lives. I hate to burst your bubble, but most sources say that there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac. Regardless, I decided to go through some of the most notorious aphrodisiacs and anaphrodisiacs to let you decide for yourself. Hey, it couldn't hurt…
Oysters – Most sources deem this one as pure myth, but there are a few that find some truth in the claim. According to MSN Health and Fitness, an American and Italian study found a compound in oysters that may increase testosterone and estrogen production. A professor from Harvard, however, denounced this as complete poppycock. And we all know, what Harvard says, goes.
Chocolate – Every source I have looked at have attributed the chocolate/love connection to the Aztecs, so I thought I would give them the credit as well. Chocolate increases levels of serotonin and phenylethylamine, neurotransmitters in the brain that are known for their feel-good properties. Many liken this effect to the feeling of being in love, which I can say with confidence, is entirely true. Like most women, I love chocolate and transfer that love to anybody who will supply me with my daily (okay, hourly) dose.
Discussion
I have played around with a few things and what I've found is that natural or naturally derived aphrodisiacs are fairly subtle. The only way I've been able to increase their effect is through fitness. Which is ironic, in that, when I'm really in shape I've got more sex drive and energy so the aphrodisiac is more of an enhancment and not so much an enticement.
Anyway, I can tell you what I get out of these proven 3 for me:
1. Oysters. The first time I felt it was after an oyster fest where I had about 1.5 dozen cooked and 1.5 dozen raw. That's a lot even though they were small. What I felt was great, it was like a low level vibration, a tingle and everything was super extra sexy. You just feel virile and alive, even the climax is different and oh wow c*m.
I've found raw works best but you have a diminishing return, it's only good for about once a month.
2. Yohimbe Bark and Horny Goat Weed. These work a little differently and effects vary from producer. These seem to work more on increasing blood pressure. You get hard faster, that kicks your brain in and everything works great. Some Yohimbe I've had was too harsh and resulted in rapid heart rates, not sexy, sweating and grabbing your chest.
3. Vicodin. I had some mild tendintis that kept me awake at nights. My doctor prescribed low grade vicodin 5mg hydrocodone and 500mg ibuprofen. The knee didn't hurt that bad and 2 vicodin pretty much knocked out the pain. I must of relaxed and released some phermones bc about an hour later I'm coitial and turgid. And it doesn't go away, but it feels great and my only worry is that in 4 hours I'm supposed to call a doctor. I work through that and a half hour later I become human again and c*m.
My girlfriend and I played around with that w/good and ok results. Sometimes 2 was just right, other times it meant no-gasm, I mean no freakin' way no matter what she's saying, moving or implying. But generally 1 was always pretty good, sometimes even a half, give it a whirl.
Oysters! Raw Oysters on the half shell. I love em. My ex doesn't like them but whenever we'd eat out she always made sure I ordered them and said she enjoyed watching me eat them. Actually I think her enjoyment in me eating them went beyond that. They say-oysters put more lead in your pencil. But, just make sure you've got someone to write to.
