11 THINGS TO INCREASE YOUR SEX DRIVE

1
HORROR MOVIES
Watching horror movies is a sure-fire way to get your adrenaline pumping, which is a great way to increase libido. Not a horror fan? Try an action movie.
 

2
SUNBATHING
We’re not saying lay out under the blazing sun for hours, but taking in a healthy amount of sunlight does increase your sexual desire. First off, it increases serotonin levels, which makes you happier in general. Secondly, it decreases your melatonin level, which is a good thing because melatonin is responsible for inhibiting your sex drive. Lastly, vitamin D works to increase your testosterone level, which is important if you want to get it on.
 

3
WALNUTS
Rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts are a good source of these healthy fats which not only help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart attack, but also play a part in boosting your sex drive. This is because these fatty acids help boost arginine, an amino acid that helps relax blood vessels and increase circulation to support arousal.
 

4
STAY HYDRATED
This one is doubly important for women. Not only does not drinking enough water lower your libido, but it can cause vaginal dryness and headaches.
 

5
EXCERCISE (BESIDES SEX)
The importance and impact of exercise on your health has been hammered into you for your entire life, so I won’t spend too much time on it except to say that it increases testosterone, which is the key to a strong libido.
 

6
FISH
There are tons of foods out there that have at one time or another been considered aphrodisiacs, but one that’s gotten less publicity is fish. A Harvard University study found that couples who increased their fish intake had sex 22% more frequently.
 

7
CUT BACK ON THE BOOZE
This is the hardest one on the list…pun intended. Although studies show that moderate amounts of red wine improve sexual health, anything more than two glasses is detrimental. Getting drunk once can wreck your performance while drinking regularly can dramatically reduce libido.
 

8
WATERMELON
This juicy tropical fruit does so much more than replenishing your body with fluids. It also has a high content of citrulline, a compound that helps support the relaxation of blood vessels in order to encourage blood flow for better arousal.
 


9
A RELAXING BATH
Your bedtime routine could be destroying your sex drive. Put down the device and do something that helps you unwind, like taking a warm bath or reading a book. Researchers say doing something relaxing before bed can lead to an increased desire for sex.
 

10
BANANAS
Phallic appearance aside, bananas are a great source of potassium, a mineral that is essential for muscle contractions, which is key for good sex. Moreover, bananas also contain a compound that helps produce testosterone, which has been proven to increase the sex drive
 

11
DRESS UP
Being confident and feeling sexy in your own skin is one of the greatest ways to boost your sex drive. Need a little more oomph? Wear something red — the color red has been proven to make men and women appear more attractive to their partners.
 

12
A CUP OF JOE
The devil’s sauce may kill your sex drive, but your daily cup of coffee could increase it. Studies have shown that men drinking 2-3 cups of coffee per day of reduced level of erectile dysfunction due to that caffeine boost.
 

13
DARK CHOCOLATE
Besides its romantic appeal, dark chocolate has a high cocoa content, which is rich in phenylethylamine, a compound that stimulates the release of hormones like endorphins and dopamine. And when these are coursing through your veins, they help you feel good and lower your inhibitions, perfect for a night of romance.
