Food Shopping for Sex
Your supermarket is full of natural aphrodisiacs and you should bear that in mind next time you do the weekly shopping. The food we eat greatly affects our energy levels and a poor diet can dampen your libido or your sexual staying power. Dr Hilda Hutcherson, MD and sexologist recommends the following food to keep your sexuality in good shape:
Complex carbohydrates: Whole grains, beans and vegetables give you energy for staying power. Wheat germ and whole grains high in vitamin E are essential for sperm and sex hormone production.
Protein: Meat, dairy products, eggs, whole grains, seeds, nuts and beans are necessary for all aspects of sex from desire to performance. A lack of protein in your diet can cause your libido to flag.
Vitamins: Vitamins A, B1, B3, B6, C and folic acid are all important for a healthy sex drive. Supplements are useful but these vitamins can be found in whole grains, eggs, fish, veggies and fruit.
Water: Your muscles and your lungs need to be adequately hydrated to function best during sex. Lack of water can also cause vaginal dryness. A well-hydrated body is more energetic and has better sexual endurance. Eight glasses of water a day is recommended.

Nipple Erectors
Breasts of all shapes and sizes are sensitive. Enthusiastic groping is all very well, but to get the best reaction, it’s best to be gentle. Here is an easy manoeuvre that should have her squirming with pleasure.
Begin at the bottom of the breast, touching the skin lightly with your fingertips. Use circular movements, working inwards in a spiral. Two strokes inwards should be followed by a stroke outwards, very gradually working your way towards the nipple. Take your time and tease her.
The longer you prolong the agony, the better it is. When you finally reach the nipple, try wetting your finger before touching it.
For extra pleasure, use a warming lubricant on the nipple. As you get closer to the nipple, blow lightly on it to heat it up. The gentle warm sensation caused by this is a real turn on.
