![]() For some folks, it’s all about foods that cause chemical reactions in the body. “From an Ayurvedic perspective, anything can be an aphrodisiac,” Silcox explains. Of course, not everyone will respond to the “classic” aphrodisiacs in the same way, and some people might find foods not on this list that get their juices flowing. “A variety of modern botanicals are known to have a potential effect on sexual functions, supporting older claims and offering newer hopes.” “From the ancient Indians who said the herb ashwagandha could give you the strength of a horse and shatavari root could give women the power to handle a hundred husbands, humans have long been seeking ways to alter their sexual potency and pleasure,” says Katie Silcox, bestselling author of Healthy Happy Sexy and founder of The Shakti Ayurveda School. I know it sounds too good (and delicious) to be true, but according to the experts, Aphrodisiacs Are A Real Thing, and they’ve been around for basically ever. In case you’re new to the ~food that makes you horny~ scene, Green Chef’s registered nutritionist, Anna Tebbs, explains that aphrodisiacs are substances (often high in omega-3 fatty acids) that “can help increase blood flow, lead to an improved sexual experience, and heighten desire.” These foods (or herbs, plants, beverages, etc.) can cause physical changes such as an erection, self-lubrication, increased respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. And while many of us love a lil treat after we get off (hi, it’s me), aphrodisiac foods can actually help you get in the mood *before* you grab your partner and hop under the covers (.or into the bath for shower sex…or to the living room for couch sex-you get it). There are tons of ways to practice romantic aftercare after indulging in a mind-blowing orgasm, like getting all snuggly in the spooning position or refueling with an XL cheesy pizza. ![]()
