HAS your sex life got a bit dry? <\/p>\n

If you, or your partners libido has shrived like a raisin, the cure could be found in your shopping trolley. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While we've all heard of the sex drive-boosting powers of oysters, there are several other (less stinky) foods than can rekindle your sexual appetite. <\/p>\n

Your diet can play a role in your sex drive, and stocking up on a few cheap snacks can give it the boost it needs.<\/p>\n

So, what quick fixes really can\u00a0fire up desire on demand?\u00a0<\/p>\n

We enlisted\u00a0a leading qualified nutritionist Kristen Stavridis (@nutrionistkristen) to find out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Chilli peppers<\/h2>\n

A few chilli flakes can do more than make your romantic meal for two meal tasty. <\/p>\n

According to Kristen, a kick of spice has many benefits when it comes to helping with sex drive. <\/p>\n

"Chilli has been shown to be beneficial for improving our circulation which helps stimulate us for pleasure," she said. <\/p>\n

This is because arousal and orgasms are largely based on the amount of blood flowing to the sex organs. <\/p>\n

"[Chilli] can also help when it comes to releasing good-feeling hormones before and during sex," she added. <\/p>\n

2. Dark chocolate <\/h2>\n

Thanks to valentines day, chocolates (usually wrapped up in a heart shaped box) have become synonymous with sex and romance. <\/p>\n

So perhaps it's unsurprising that the sweet treat is linked to increased sexual desire.<\/p>\n

"This is likely because of it's high caffeine quantity ," Kristen explained.<\/p>\n

At high levels, caffeine widens the blood vessels and increases blood flow to genitalia, which makes orgasm easier. <\/p>\n

In fact, a 2005\u00a0study\u00a0found a correlation between caffeine and increased sex activity among rodents.<\/p>\n

However, we can't be entirely sure caffeine has same effect on the sex organs of humans.<\/p>\n

Kirsten added: "Dark chocolate also contain high amounts of the amino acid L-arginine that has been shown to boost blood flow and potentially increase satisfaction and desire."<\/p>\n

3. Black pepper <\/h2>\n

Sprinkling a bit of black pepper on your dinner can make your steak taste better – and potentially your orgasms wilder. <\/p>\n

"Pepper contains something called capsaicin, which has been
shown to dilate the blood vessels and releasing endorphins," the nutritionist said.<\/p>\n

One 2016 study showed when taken in very high doses, black pepper\u00a0helps\u00a0increase\u00a0testosterone levels and overall\u00a0sexual\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n

It also discovered the spice to have erotogenic properties, meaning it increased sensitivity to sexual stimulation. <\/p>\n

4. Strawberries <\/h2>\n

Strawberries are often associated with fun in the bedroom – and for good reason!<\/p>\n

"These berries contain high levels of vitamin C which is an important nutrient for supporting healthy sex hormones, energy levels and supporting our circulation," the expert said.<\/p>\n

A study, conducted for for British Summer Fruits, found high levels of zinc in the fruits\u2019 seeds helps men when it comes to sex by increasing sperm levels. <\/p>\n

And for women, it helped speed up arousal.<\/p>\n

Patrick Holford, the founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, went as far as to say people should be eating berries before every sexual encounter. <\/p>\n

"My message is simple: every time you have sex, or simply want to ready yourself or your partner for sex you should consume a handful of raspberries or strawberries," he said.<\/p>\n

Try the classic combination of strawbs dipped in dark chocolate for the "ultimate sex-boosting snack", Kristen added. <\/p>\n

Foods to avoid<\/h2>\n

1. Salted popcorn <\/h2>\n

While popcorn may be the perfect accompaniment to your Netflix and chill,\u00a0this snack can cause damage to the sex drive, Kristen warns.<\/p>\n

"Very salty foods like salted popcorn dehydrates your body and can cause issues with sexual arousal and performance," she said. <\/p>\n

The popular snack can do long term damage too.<\/p>\n

"Lots of salty foods in your diet can cause high blood pressure which negatively impacts libido," the expert added.<\/p>\n

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the pressure in your blood vessels is unusually high. <\/p>\n

It can be serious if not treated, and is also a risk factor for erectile dysfunction. <\/p>\n

2. Cheeses<\/h2>\n

It's time to ditch your romantic wine and cheese night because the stinky snack can also kill your sex drive. <\/p>\n

Kristen said: "The lactic acid in heavy dairy products like these can negatively impact libido. <\/p>\n

"For many people heavy dairy products can lead to bloating and an upset stomach which many lower sex drive and performance."<\/p>\n

Cheese is also high in saturated fat, which if eaten in high quantities can lead to high cholesterol\u00a0and\u00a0obesity.<\/p>\n

The NHS recommends cutting back on saturated fat, and including more unsaturated fat in the diet.<\/p>\n

It means swapping fatty meats, hard cheeses, cream, biscuits, cakes and pastries for olive oil, avocados and nuts.<\/p>\n
