Let me start by telling you a story. A friend of mine and her boyfriend are in a pharmacy and she points towards some libido enhancing packs and ‘jokingly’ suggests that he get one. Well, to cut a long story short, she’s single now. I mean guys certainly don’t have a sense of humour in such matters. For some strange reason, every man considers himself to be dynamite in bed, no matter their age, size etc. However, we are not discussing size here but to answer the age old question, ‘does size really matter?’, the answer is YESoooooooooooh. And any woman that says otherwise, for want of a better description is a ‘bloody liar’. But we’ve got to work with what we’ve got; I mean all fingers are not equal. And when I say fingers, I really mean…. Ok, you get my drift.
I believe the problem is on the increase because I haven’t heard my friends ‘boast’ about their husbands’ prowess recently. In the past, when I ask a simple question like ‘how is your husband?’, the shocking response will be ‘hmmm, that man that won’t allow me to sleep at night’.
You may be thinking that it is only old or middle aged men that are affected by this problem, but even guys in their early 20’s are affected. And of course, men have somehow found a way to blame it on women. I cannot however deny that women sometimes play a part in this dilemma. A guy recently told me that the faint aroma of olive oil coming from a stretch mark ridden chest and another more putrid ‘fishy’ smell drained all the blood from his lower region. I quite understand, no one should be expected to perform under such harsh conditions.
Did you know that low libido often triggers erectile dysfunction? Yeah, that’s impotence my friends. So if you’ve gone from wanting ‘it’ four times to once a day, be very worried.
The good thing is, there are remedies for Low Libido. My advice is, the more natural the better and the trick is, the less obvious the better. I went to a colleague’s house one day and there was Horny goat weed and ‘Daily Sex’ tea with the breakfast cereals on the dining table. It could only have been more obvious if he kept ‘viagra’ on his center table.
Here is a list of discreet foods that’ll have you ‘up and about’ in no time.
Banana: If you believe that the shape of something reveals what it is good for, I think it’s obvious what banana will do for you.
Avocado: Apparently, the Aztecs called the avocado tree the “testicle tree.”
Pumpkin seeds and raw Oysters: Both are one of the few foods that contain a lot of zinc, which is vital for ensuring vibrant sexual desire. The term…”zinc puts lead in the pencil”. Speaks for
itself.
Hot Peppers, Celery, Eggs, Liver, Water-melon, Asparagus, Almonds round up the list.
So now you can stock up on these healthy foods and also avoid the causes of Low Libido. Which are:
OBESITY: High fat levels in the belly area causes your body to produce a hormone that converts testosterone to estrogen which cause’s low libido. For me, this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘you can’t eat your cake and have IT’. Pot bellied men take note.
- · Lack of Exercises: Physical inactivity can cause your testosterone levels to plummet, which directly affects your libido negatively. A better reason to hit the gym, I am yet to discover.
STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION and GUILT are also major factors.
So there you have it. Good luck and keep your head up. Again when I say ‘Head’ I actually mean…..ok, I’ll stop.
