Abstract
Sexuality is a vital component of human life. Sexual behaviors and
orientations vary and may be related to mental health. Food and sex are
essential to species survival and have been rocking together for as long as they
have kept all creatures great and small alive.
Aphrodisiacs can be categorized according to their mode of action into 3
groups: by increasing libido, by increasing erection, and by increasing sexual
pleasure. Most of aphrodisiac mythology comes from foods with symbolic
colors or shapes, certain foods do contain properties that stimulate pleasure
centers in the brain.
Dietary intake of flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate include antioxidant
properties, reduced blood pressure via the induction of NO-dependent
vasodilation in men. Celery was known throughout history for its aphrodisiac
qualities. It’s high in androstenol and androsterone. These two hormones are
pheromones and are thought to play a role in human olfactory communication
regarding sexual attraction.
Foods rich in magnesium enhance sexual drive and ability. Several
studies have shown the effects of magnesium on the production of testosterone.
Asparagus has been reported to improve sexual performance through activating
NO release, which could potentially improve arousal and erection.
The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of food on male sexual
activity in a sample of Egyptian men. This cross-sectional study was conducted
on 222 married men having a regular sexual relation and eating different types
of food attending at the clinics of Menoufia University Hospital.
