They say you are what you eat, but what if what you eat is supposedly the ticket to better sex Forget chocolates and strawberries. We’re diving into the weird, the wild, and the what-the-actual-hell foods that people claim get them in the mood.
Aphrodisiacs have been around since ancient times, but some of these choices sound more like dares from a cooking show than actual libido boosters. Here’s a list of bizarre “sexy snacks” that are either nature’s Viagra or nature’s prank.
10 Most Bizarre ‘Sexy’ Superfoods For Libido:
1. Oysters: The Slippery Cliché That Stuck
Let’s start with the classic. Oysters have been sexualised for centuries, probably because they’re high in zinc (great for testosterone) and look like they belong in a very specific category on certain websites. Are they sexy? Maybe. Are they slimy sea creatures you swallow whole? Absolutely.
2. Onion Juice: Tears, but Make It Horny
This is not a drill. In some cultures, raw onion or onion juice is believed to ignite the fire down below. It’s supposed to increase stamina and energy, but at what cost? Your breath might end the party before it even begins. Garlic lovers, you’re not off the hook either. That stinky stuff is apparently sexy in the right dose.
3. Grasshoppers: Tiny Jumpers, Big Results
Researchers at the University of Dschang in Cameroon conducted a study on the effects of ground grasshoppers. Compared to subjects fed herring fishmeal or a diet lacking animal protein, those on the grasshopper diet showed significant improvements. These included doubled libido and increased ejaculation frequency. Who knew bugs could bring buzz?
4. Durian: Smells Like Death, Tastes Like Lust
Durian is banned in many hotels and public spaces because it smells like rotting socks in a gym bag. But eaters swear by its libido-lifting powers. In Southeast Asia, it’s nicknamed “heating fruit” for a reason. You just have to survive the smell long enough to get to the fun part.
5. Celery: Crunchy. Boring. Horny?
No one has ever described celery as sexy, and yet here we are. It contains androstenone and androstenol, which are pheromone-like chemicals. Some claim that eating celery makes you smell more attractive to others. Others just dip it in hummus and hope for the best.
6. Goat Testicles: For the Hardcore Believers
Yes, you read that right. Some traditional medicines advocate eating goat testicles (or bull ones) for improving male virility. While the science is shaky and the taste is reportedly “gamey,” this one is for those who take the phrase “eat to perform” way too literally.
7. Chocolate-Covered Ants: Crunchy Foreplay?
Insects are making their way into modern diets for protein, but chocolate-covered ants are also touted as an energy booster, which could translate to more stamina. Are they sexy? Not really. Are they crunchy? Definitely. Maybe just stick with the chocolate, honestly.
8. Avocados: Apparently Millennials Are Horny
The Aztecs called avocado trees the “testicle trees” because of how they grow in pairs. High in healthy fats, they’re great for hormone production. Also, is it even a libido list without some avo toast? It’s green, it’s creamy, it’s Gen Z’s gateway to a good time.
9. Chilli Peppers: Spicy Food, Spicy Mood
Capsaicin, the spicy stuff in chillies, is said to trigger endorphins and increase blood flow, which might be why some people get frisky after a hot curry. Of course, if you’re sweating, crying, and chugging milk, the sex might need to wait a bit.
10. Frog Legs: Oui Oui, Très Risqué
In France and parts of Asia, frog legs are considered a delicacy and a libido enhancer. They’re high in protein and low in guilt, depending on your feelings about frogs. It might not be for the faint of heart or stomach.
So, What’s the Deal With These Superfoods?
Most of these claims are rooted in ancient tradition, folk beliefs, and a healthy dose of placebo. But at the end of the day, food can absolutely affect your mood, your energy levels, and your blood flow. And if nothing else, it gives you an excuse to try something wild and say, “It’s for my libido.”
Eat what you want, kiss who you like, and if you end up getting turned on or helped by celery or grasshoppers, hey, we’re not here to judge!
