9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you've been ignoring all the tips, tricks, news and wagging fingers from your friends and family about eating healthier, maybe this will change your mind about adding dark green leafy vegetables and fiber to your diet. According to health psychologist Lynn Edlen-Nezin and Robert Fried, authors of the book Great Food, Great Sex, the healthier your diet, the better your sex life. Edlen-Nezin says that because the "plumbing is all connected, everything that's good for your heart is good for your sexual health."So what do they recommend? Everything that's been touted for cardiovascular health is good for sexual health because they contribute in some way to blood-flow through the body: fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and anti-oxidant rich foods. Just don't expect high performance after dinner of grilled chicken breast on a bed of blackberries, walnuts, and wheatberries. We know there's no such thing as instant magic.

It doesn't make sense to have a mate than can cook,have great sex,listens and communicates, compliments you and at the same time you're having an affair. If the two of you are not one then all of the so-called PERFECTIONS you think exist are all lies

However, being a competitive bodybuilder, in attempts to gain size i have eaten the fattiest foods you could imagine. 8 meals a day, no cardio work mcdonalds and milkshakes instead of tofu and strawberries...point is that i performed the best i have ever performed during that time...i dont bodybuild now and i eat a lot cleaner but the ole' johnson just aint what he used to be. Have fun, eat mcdonalds and bang all the women you want, hey, it worked for me...or maybe it was the steroids,lol who knows????

That's why viagra does (which I do not take) - it promotes blood flow to "you know where." A fairly low fat helps incredibly for it promotes blood flow...Im 40 and the sex is better than ever....I date women in their 20's and 30's and they tell me that I have incredibly better stamina then men in their age group...so I hope all that helps...

Some women like men who are HOTT with washboard abs, And then there are those of us who can find sexiness in various forms .. intelligence. baldness. long hair , but i really think it is a AURA.
And as for the libido , even when I am not in the mood , I never tell my husband no, I may say how about a quicky ? but usually after he starts kissing me and caressing and being affectionate I warm up to the idea and then all functions as it should. Remember sometimes all it takes is the willingness to love someone enough to think of their needs.
NOT everytime . BUT if you try I bet you will find your libido in time.

I think that if you want some good sex, then you first have to eat a salad with ranch dressing, an appetizer of mozzerela sticks, and finally the main course of wood roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and a splash of red wine. Then you take her pants off and stick your rod in her twat.

For both sex, good sex can be accomplished with these-- shower, shave, fittness, good dental hygene, clean environment, try not to set your condition about the other person's status, try not to be a jerk/bitch. Rich or poor has little to do with how the libido works.......look is all relative as well....it is what makes you feel right inside......

Our media is filled with anorexic sixteen year old models. You are a real woman that has probably birthed his children. Insist on romantic treatment or cut him off. A peanut butter sandwich eaten over a sink will teach him. Women probably snicker at his work at his lame pick up tactics. You gussy up, eat nice meals without him and wink at men in his presence. There are so many men that would love a voluptous woman to cuddle up with rather a a bunch of dry little twigs that are mal nourished.This is for #12 or anyone else.

I know people who eat unhealthy crap 24/7 and don't exercise and think the answer is just to pop their Viagra when they can't have an erection, Diabetes pill because they developed Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure pill because they have hypertension, and Lipitor because they have high cholesterol levels. It is soooo frustrating!
There are numerous studies that show that erectile dysfunction, Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol can be decreased or in some cases completely eliminated by a healthy diet and daily exercise.
These idiots are only shortening their lives and making the pharmaceutical companies wealthy! Unfortunately for people who eat healthy and exercise such as myself, they are making my health insurance premiums increase rapidly!

Got rid of the husband, and replaced him with someone who REALLY knows what it means to make love to a woman. Before you nail the lid shut on your sex life, I suggest you take a good look at the relationship you're in. If it lacks intimacy, and has just come down to sex, and there's nothing for the heart or soul to sink its teeth into, no amount of hormones or vitamins are going to make you desire him.

Stressing important foods to raise certain levels of nitric oxide in the blood can definitely make a noticeable impact on your performance and agility... the key is to eat well.

If you're going to have sex, then let it be by merit only.......I would hate to think that the only reason someone's losing weight is because they want good sex.......

And # 17, face facts. Good for us or not, a lot of men like to drink beer.And nothing says we can't be the guy who goes to the gym and a guy who goes out for a few beers at the same time.

He ate loads of fresh fruits/veggies/fish/berries and wheat bread--no coffee-no alcohol--no tobacco--plenty of exercise and he fathered 12 kids. My mother lived to be 90 and outlived all of her siblings by at least 10 years. It really is in the diet and exercise!!!!!

For the reader who complained of low libido, we do not dispute that just adjusting dietary intake may solve the problem. For some people, male and female, medical intervention in the form of hormone supplementation may be in order. For others, it may be that you have "learned" not to enjoy or look forward to sex, and that may be interfering with your response. In that situation, counseling for you and your partner may provide help.
To all our readers, you will see that if you identify areas in your daily intake that are nutritionally poor, in particular, inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables, and over-consumption of saturated fats and sugar, you can make simple adjustments that will pay off in the bedroom, as well as in all the other areas of your life. Try a romantic stroll together trhough the produce department followed by a cosy interlude in the kitchen preparing one of our simple recipes. Good food, shared together with a loved one, makes for great foreplay. Here's to your health and happiness, Lynn and Bob

To the readers who mentioned low libido (desire) there may be a need for medical intervention in the form of hormone supplementation (as mentioned by one person who was tested for low testosterone). For some people, the problem may be that you have "learned" to dislike sex and not look forward to sexual activity because the sex (or the situations surrounding sex) have been unpleasant. You might want to consider counseling, with your partner, if possible.
But for many of us, daily exposure to the SAD (standard American diet) has deprived us of energy as well as enthusiasm for healthy sex. We suggest a romantic stroll down the produce aisle, followed by a cosy interlude in the kitchen preparing one of our simple recipes, as a delightful form of foreplay. Your entire life can benefit from our approach to nutrition, and one of the payoffs will be in the bedroom. Wishing all of you health and happiness, Lynn and Bob
