There are lots of tried and trues when it comes to “what it takes” to get you and your partner in the mood. Whether you knew it or not many of these old school moves, that might seem quite hack, are actually grounded in quantifiable, exhilarating, sensory stimulating fact.
Lets start with a delicious and delicate lobster dinner. At first blush this seems like a wallet gloating boast. The fact that your man can pick up the tab for the pricey feast is impressive, but truth be told lobster is a great source of phosphorus, the kama sutra of minerals. Phosphorus helps keep vaginal tissues lubricated. For pre-menopausal and menopausal women this is a godsend. Wouldn’t you know just when we are getting a grip on our sexuality, estrogen levels begin to drop. This leads to vaginal tissue dryness and less elasticity which turns love making from heaven on earth to a hellish ouch. So, not okay!! A healthy dose of phosphorus will increase your comfort level and amp up your desire quotient. We like this. For a little extra somethin somethin add some carrots to your plate. They bring a burst of color to the meal and the added hint of beta-carotene raises blood levels of progesterone, giving an added boost pointing north on the desire meter. Very nice-everyone’s a winner.
Next on the agenda, take your relationship back to the beginning. Oddly enough, this is the best way to keep things fresh. If the first date was in a coffee house, you gotta make sure to include regular java jolts to your mental foreplay. Whatever scent dominated that first date and made the two of you feel frisky will do the trick again and again. Maybe that’s why first dates always start at a Starbucks? Or is it that the quick getaway strategy? Sorry I digress. Reintroducing the overpowering smell from the first arousal of the past to a similar situation in the present will create the same sexual charge. That’s because the part of the brain that handles scent also manages our emotions. Amazing, right.
Another lusty lovemaking sure bet is the traditional lighting of aromatic candles. Did you know that if you pick the right smell your sexual sensitivity would soar? The top choice, nope not lavender, that’s good for sleeping, the best calming scent is green apple. I know, go figure. The clean fresh smell is relaxing giving romance comfortable ease and grace. According to Alan Hirsch, M.D., director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago the one odor to stay away from is cherry. It tends to inhibit sexual arousal. Hah! Warrant got it wrong.
Chocolate on Valentines. Seems so ho-hum and predictable. The truth is it is a very sexy gift. Chocolate contains a positively stimulating amino acid called L-arginine. L-arginine is the precursor of nitric oxide, which aids in the relaxation of blood vessels. The effect is better blood circulation in the body, especially in the extremities. Warm and toasty all over, especially in your feet and toes, has been shown to increase the likelihood of your orgasm by 30%. Better extremity blood flow is obviously great for your guy and that is good for you too.
How about a time-honored moonlit skinny dip. Seductive yes? YES. Women are far more sexually responsive twenty minutes after vigorous exercise. Research indicates that exercise may increase sexual drive, sexual activity and –TADA- sexual satisfaction. Furthermore, a Harvard University study found that swimmers between the ages of 40 and 60 showed a positive relationship between regular physical activity and the frequency and enjoyment of their sexual encounters. Need I say more!
Go ahead then; enjoy some old fashioned romance.
