natural-aphrodisiacsNatural Aphrodisiacs! The word itself can send an itch of eagerness down your spine. All the way through the ages almost every culture has used an assortment of substances, usually herbal in source, to put some whiz into their love lives or in an endeavor to heal the impotent.

An aphrodisiac is basically a food, drug, scent or device that declares to perk up libido. It is tricky to verify or invalidate that aphrodisiacs help libido. The reality that someone uses something that seems to be an aphrodisiac has an influential impact on the mind. The consequences may be owing to psychological effects or the brain discharging certain chemicals to rouse the respective organs. The effects are so varied and indistinct that at this point of time, they can't be confirmed scientifically.

Plant aphrodisiacs consist of vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains. Some vegetables have shapes which are indicative to the mind's eye. They have thus been credited to add towards libido. The asparagus and artichoke are representative of these kinds of vegetables which are consumed in the conviction that they have extraordinary properties as implied by their exterior. Little is recognized about the chemical mechanism which performs as aphrodisiacs.

Celery is known to be full of androsterone. This is a male hormone that is capable to kindle the sexual provocation of females. All other vegetables like carrot, fennel and onion are presumed to be excellent for libido but fall short of scientific proof to support their claims.

For fruit aphrodisiacs, the banana tops the catalog. The chemical ingredients comprise of chelating minerals and the bromelain enzyme. These elements apparently advance male libido. However, there's deficiency of irrefutable proof to prop up this suggestion.

The pomegranate is a sign of fertility with its copious seeds. For the Chinese, the pomegranate represents affluence in a profuse household. The peach is a seductive fruit due to its shape and other distinctiveness. It has been credited with seductive traits but logically, it may be owing to the vitamins and minerals there in the fruit which add to the body's well-being. In the group of nuts, gingko nut is all the rage. This nut perks up blood circulation to the edges of the body, and helps in civilizing libido.

Consume grains like oats for your breakfast and familiarize the result by bedtime! Oats support the discharge of testorone in males to help libido.

Herbs and spices not only zing up your food but also your life. Basil, cardamon, clove, garlic, ginger, ginseng, pepper, asafetida and saw palmetto are all fine for adding a little flavor to your sex life.

No matter which ones you decide to employ, keep in mind that aphrodisiacs are to be consumed with a pinch of salt. If you accept them as true, it works.

What are some other natural aphrodisiacs that you've discovered?

Welcome to Stress ED 101! This isn't Stress Education class, rather an introduction to the link between stress and every man's worse nightmare: duh, duh, duh… Erectile Dysfunction.

Stress ED

Stress ED

If your stress levels go up, your enjoyment of life and attitude suffer greatly, making it difficult to stay emotionally and physically healthy. Take a moment to examine your lifestyle and try taking an honest and blatant inventory of yourself.

Which of your bad habits contribute to an unhealthy life style? Once you have made a list of bad habits that put stress on your mental and physical health, you can begin to eliminate them and take advantage of an effective treatment for Erectile Dysfunction.

4 Tips to Fight Stress and Erectile Dysfunction

  1. Procrastination: Start a task and work on it for 20 minutes; come back to it later with the intent to finish what has already been started. Trying to tackle an entire project that has not been started can create unnecessary stress.
  2. Disorganization: Cleaning up the clutter in your life will limit the amount of frustration and aggravation you experience when trying to be productive.
  3. Managing Time: Being late to a meeting or event can lead to anxiety and pressure that can easily be eliminated. Try setting your clocks a few minutes fast to insure you arrive early. Even if you realize that you set it 15 minutes ahead, you are reminding yourself of the importance of being on time.
  4. Substance Abuse: Overusing medications, alcohol and recreational drugs hinder your body’s ability to keep itself healthy and when your body is struggling to stay healthy it lets you know by incurring stress and depression. If you are having a difficult time breaking these habits, find a support group that will encourage a positive lifestyle change.

The second step of effective treatment is to alter your risk factors such as: smoking, excessive weight gain, alcohol abuse, stress, and depression to eliminate factors contributing to bodily harm. Behaviors such as smoking, diet and physical inactivity account for many health conditions, not just ED.

Reducing risky habits makes it easier for your body to take on the treatments and assure effectiveness. More tips are available from this stress-free Boston Medical Group Spokesman. He even has a Boston Medical Group Facebook page.

Educate yourself and take control of your health. Talk to your doctor and make sure your concerns are heard. Establish a realistic exercise routine and eat well balanced meals which are low in saturated fats. Living a stress-free lifestyle can and will improve effectiveness of treatment for Erectile Dysfunction.

Aphrodisiac foods for women

Are there really such things as aphrodisiac foods? Absolutely, there are!

Of course, if you've got your game together, you could use TV dinners and fruit roll-ups as female aphrodisiacs, but we all need a little help from time to time.

Let's start with drinks and appetizers, then work our way to dessert!

Top 4 Aphrodisiac Foods

  1. Paint the town red…wine, that is. Red wine is one of the most potent sources of the antioxidant known as resveratrol. According to researchers from Northwestern University, this powerful antioxidant actually increases estrogen production, leading to a heightened sexual appetite. That means she may just want to skip right to you for dessert. Be careful though: Too much wine, too fast, can lead to drowsiness, and the dreaded, "Not tonight, I'm too tired," line.
  2. What a shrimp! You may not appreciate anyone associating the word shrimp with any of your special organs, but eating this strange looking seafood can actually increase your sperm level and lead to more powerful orgasms. Not bad, for such a shrimp!
  3. "Fill-it, Mig-non". Or, as the French like to say: Filet mignon. Besides simply sounding sexy as it rolls off the tip of your tongue, any foods high in protein up your levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, leading to increased alertness and assertiveness. As in, she would like to alertly assert herself all over you.
  4. Strawberries and chocolate syrup are soooo predictable. Instead, add a subtle twist: Raspberries with chocolate. She'll appreciate the exotic swap and feel less like she's acting out an overdone cookie-cutter scene in a romantic comedy. And, get this: British scientists discovered women release four times as many endorphins after eating chocolate than they do after a passionate kissing session. So, even though you can't compete with the chocolate, you'll reap the benefits after it warms her up.

Use these aphrodisiac foods, in combination with all the right moves, and those chocolate-covered raspberries may get very messy!

In one of our previous contests, Contest: "The Game" by Neil Strauss, members could ask any dating-related question that was holding back "Their Game."

Below is the first of those questions, along with answers, as promised, to make sure you come out on top (or on bottom?).

First Date Ideas: What is the best place to take a first date?

First date ideas

This is a very common concern among men: "Where do I take her?" "How much should I spend?" "Does she like Thai food?" "Is Friday night right for a first date?"

The most important thing to remember: the location is completely irrelevant.

I know that sounds cliche and frustrating, but it's true. Ask any of your female friends or relatives, and they'll tell you they much rather go grocery shopping with a fun and interesting guy than go to a fancy restaurant with a nervous and boring clamshell.

In fact, I've literally taken women along with me while running errands as a "first date." It gives both of us a chance to experience each other in everyday situations. It's less intimidating. No rules. No awkward silences. It's alive and a live show.

You're simply riffing off each other's energy, and no one knows what's coming next. You're moving around in an open world with infinite opportunities and possibilities for exciting moments.

Doesn't that sound much more exciting than being shackled and handcuffed to a corner booth, while you watch each other chew your food? I've never seen the value in going through the traditional motions of a scripted dinner-and-a-movie date. Those feel so restricting and overdone: "You look nice." "Thanks." "Is your salad good?" "Yes. Is yours?" "Yes."…blah, blah, blah…ZZZZZZZ.

I want to interact with a woman in a variety of situations to see how she handles herself and if we can enjoy each other's company anytime, anywhere.

So, how do you initiate this type of "date"? It's easy: Just say playfully, "Hey, I'm going to run some errands, and you're coming with me." If you had any kind of connection at all when you first met, she'll come along.

Now, it's all up to you. No matter where you take her, make it a good time. I guarantee if you can make a memorable experience out of grocery shopping or buying a new coffee table, there will be plenty more dates after the first.

And once things start heating up, here's how you can use chocolate to get her in the mood.

What are some of your best first date ideas? Ever had a terrible first date? Enlighten us in the comments!

Chocolate sex

Chocolate and sex: Two of the sweetest things on Earth.

Even though scientists recently found that chocolate isn't addictive, our melt-in-your-mouth friend scored big points in another study.

British scientists observed couples while they ate squares of dark chocolate and while they kissed passionately. Guess what fellas: We lost!

Women's heart rates rose 20 percent more and their bodies released 4 times the endorphins when they ate the cacao-rich chocolate.

It's not a total loss though. At least you know those Valentine chocolates are well worth the money.

If you really want to get technical, the women's version of "chocolate Viagra" used in the study was 65 percent cacao dark chocolate.

Haven't quite made it to the "chocolate sex" stage yet? Here are some great first date ideas.

It works, according to studies out of UCLA. Analyzing data from nearly 800 college students taking part in six studies over a 4 year period, the researchers found that girls were more likely to have a one-night-stand with muscular men. But, it's not all good news for the bulky and brawny — the study also revealed that when it comes time to settle down and pick a long-term mate, women prefer a more average build, assuming that the man is more romantic and faithful.

Muscular men get more girls

Turns out, they may be right, because the study also showed that muscular men were more likely to have sex with a woman who already had a boyfriend or husband. The logical reasoning behind this would be the macho man feels he can defend himself if her scrawny boy-toy comes home early. Possibly because of all these "extra" options, muscle-men were found to have twice as much sex as mortal humans.

One professor sums it up well, in a way only an intelligent researcher could: "Certainly, the study confirms what I believe are people's suspicions: that men who are more fit and more muscular are indeed seen as more attractive."

The good news for the skinny rails out there, you don't have to become the Incredible Hulk to get her attention. According to women, you only have to be "more muscular than average." This is one time when the growing waistlines of America could work in your favor!

So, if better health, longer life, more energy, and less stress aren't enough to get you to the gym, maybe the possibility of more sex is? Whatever it takes to motivate you, I say go for it!

We're not sure if that's John's primary motivation, but he certainly seems to be trying to build a "more muscular than average" body…
