Myth: Oysters and chocolate are aphrodisiacs
Truth: Chocolate is one of the all-time favorite comfort foods, but many people believe it can also put you in the mood for love.
While we cannot deny the fact that chocolate is delicious, sensuous and gives you a silky, smooth mouthfeel, there is no scientific evidence that it can boost your libido.
Several studies, among which one research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, did link chocolate to lower blood pressure and better blood flow, but that’s about it in terms of its aphrodisiac effects.
Same goes for oysters. They are said to be the food of love, but their only connection with s*xual performance is that they are a very good source of zinc, a mineral that stimulates the production of healthy testosterone.
When do they find the time with this next myth…..
Very interesting…. Another myth might be that the older you get, the less interested you are in intimacy. I met my second husband when I was 73 and he was 76. We married two years later after having an incredible intimate life together. He will be 81 in September and we are still going strong. What works for us is a mutual understanding and appreciation for taking our time with each other. Our “sessions” can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. We are the happiest we have ever been.
