- Watermelon: according to what was revealed by the obstetrician and gynecologist Diana Hoppe to HuffPostwatermelon is rich in a non-essential amino acid called citrulline, which “relaxes and dilates blood vessels just like Viagra does and other medications intended to treat erectile dysfunction.”
- Strawberry: In addition to being sensually striking due to their color and shape, Van Kirk assures that “it contains very important nutrients for the production of sexual hormones, but it cannot be guaranteed that it will increase sexual desire.”
- Fruits of the forest: As with strawberries, eating red fruits (such as blueberries, blackberries, cherries and grapes) can be very provocative when having sex, even more so if they are combined with other elements also considered aphrodisiacs such as chocolate.
