![]() | OystersAphrodite, the Greek goddess of love after whom Aphrodisiacs are named, gave birth to Eros on an oyster shell, marking the beginning of the oyster’s sexual reputation. And there actually might be some truth to this notoriety: Oysters are notably high in zinc, which is needed for testosterone production. It has been shown, too, that men with zinc-deficient diets are at risk for prostate problems. In male reproduction, zinc may be necessary for adequate testosterone levels and sperm counts. |
SoyAlong with being low in fat and excellent sources of protein, soy products, such as tofu and soy milk, have phytoestrogens, which are said to combat PMS and menopause–two things that can definitely get in the way of a good sex life. “Because soy binds estrogen receptors, it helps keep the vaginal area lubricated, which especially helps women whose estrogen levels are decreasing,” says Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and vice president of the World Association for Sexology. | ![]() |
