Planning To Get Intimate Tonight, Then Do Not Have These 5 Food

While we all know what we should be eating when it comes to getting turned on in the bedroom, we're not very sure which foods we should avoid. The food we eat can affect our sex drive in both a positive and negative way, so it's important to choose wisely when it comes to getting some action.

While some of these anti-aphrodisiacs, which include surprising foods such as broccoli, tofu and oats, are good for us in the long run, they are best not consumed when you're hoping to get in the mood for love.

# Black liquorice

Liquorice intake has been linked to lower testosterone levels. The stronger the testosterone, the stronger the sexual desire, for both men and women, so maybe best not to have this as a sweet treat.

# Cheese

Dairy generally is a libido killer. For many dairy is congesting and mucus-producing, so not the ideal way to feel before sex!

# Chocolate

Choose your chocolate carefully as not all chocs are bad. Go for dark chocolate that contains a minimum of 70 per cent cocoa, as it will be the most nutritious way to consume this delicious, sensual food! 'Dark chocolate is naturally high in many antioxidants, choose raw for the highest possible levels of naturally occurring nutrients. Chocolate is rich in L-tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin.

# Hot dogs

The high saturated content of hot dogs can clog up the vaginal and penile arteries, making this the least romantic handheld treat around. 'All processed foods are a no for libido. Hot dogs are a very processed food in an overly processed bun that provides very little nutrition. Think about how you feel eating something like this.

# French fries

Again an overly processed food, that has a very high glycaemic index, meaning that this food releases its energy very quickly into our systems.
