First, a word of caution: meat is not a good aphrodisiac and does not work well with ED medication. The cholesterol and hormones actually cause ED in some cases and will counteract your medication. Stick to fruits and veggies for sex.

Using food is all about creating an atmosphere. An intensely personal, intimate, romantic setting is excellent for stimulating yourself. Make use of the right lighting. Also, consider the food colors, shapes, and textures as well as taste and desired effect. Aphrodisiacs are 90% mental, 10% physical, so get 100% of the benefit from these fine foods by using them in intense salads and soups.

#5: Shiitake

These umbrella-shaped Asian mushrooms pack a powerful punch for sexual desire. They contain compounds said to be close to certain hormones, which boost your sex drive. They are very inexpensive, erotic, and can be eaten either straight or as a thick, creamy soup just before sex.

#4: Celery

It is recommended that, as an aphrodisiac, you enjoy celery raw. You can also make it more appetizing if you dip it in peanut butter or even almond butter - these will give you some more energy for your boudoir fireworks.

Celery is wonderful for hydration. It also is packed with dietary fiber, which is great for arterial health and blood flow. Their crunchiness is very appealing and the fresh taste cleanses your palate for more erotic tastes.

Celery roots are also great for the sexual appetite. Slow cook them for best nutrition and taste.

#3: Asparagus

You get a ton of Vitamin E so you have better blood flow and oxygen transference to the sex organs.

Potassium, which is in abundance in this edible lily plant, encourages the production of sex hormones.

The powerful taste also gives you a boost in desire.

For best results, use very little oil to cook asparagus. It can be blanched, seared, or baked.

#2: Garlic

Garlic has been used across the world for thousands of years as medicine: fevers, parasites, flus, and colds. Ancient people in Egypt, America, Rome, and China have all used it as a sex medicine as well.

It is acknowledged by modern doctors to help with blood pressure and hormone production.

It is an essential food for older gentlemen.

For immediate effect, eat a single toe raw. If you can't eat it raw, saute it very lightly in light vegetable oil - not butter. Throw a little onion in there too!

One clove a half an hour before sex is a fantastic way to jump-start your fun.

#1: Ginger

It would be impossible to leave out ginger. In fact, no sex guru in the past two-thousand years of world history has been able to! Eat it however you like and enjoy it however you like. Slice it into thin ribbons to garnish your lover, make a paste with pyrethrum and lilac, juice it, or eat it raw.

None of this will substitute for Viagra, but you can combine Viagra with these aphrodisiacs and food treatments to boost yourself. Buy your food from the local market, but save money by getting Viagra online.
