Get in the Mood With These Libido-Boosting Foods

This type of seafood is known for improving your sex life, not because they're sexy to slip into your mouth, but because they're high in zinc, a mineral that boosts the testosterone levels needed to increase your sex drive. Zinc also inhibits the production of prolactin, a hormone that can disrupt sexual function. If you're not a fan of oysters, go for steak or hamburgers since beef is another zinc source.

Bite into chocolate with high levels of cocoa (70 percent or more). Not only does cocoa contain zinc, but chocolate also increase the brain's dopamine levels, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure. It's also a source of phenylethylamine, a compound that triggers the same endorphins brought on by sex.

These gems are also high in zinc, which blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen and boosts sex drive. Sprinkle some on your cereal or sweet potatoes.

High in omega-3s, this fatty acid helps boost feel-good dopamine levels as well as improves circulation and blood flow to your lady parts. If you're not a flaxseed fan, walnuts, fish like salmon, and omega-3 eggs are also excellent sources.

Easy to digest, bananas are high in vitamin B6, which regulates hormone levels, decreases stress, and has been proven to fight a slew of PMS symptoms, so you'll feel well enough to get it on before your period arrives. Fish, turkey, chicken, avocados, and spinach are also good sources of this vitamin.

Sensual to eat, strawberries are also high in vitamin C, which studies show can increase female libido by increasing blood flow. Citrus fruits, kiwi, and peppers are also high in vitamin C.

The amino acid L-arginine, which is found in quinoa, has been shown to increase blood flow to the clitoris. Oats are another source you can easily add to your diet.
