Anything that is good for your heart is good for your penis!

There are certain foods that can increase your male sex drive and testosterone production. For a good sex drive and libido, you essentially require good blood circulation and there are certain foods that can help you improve blood flow to the genitals.

It often happens that you might be having low sex drive or libido due to lifestyle related factors and improper diet. A few changes in the food you eat can bring about a great change in your libido and make your enjoy great sex without the use of synthetic drugs like Viagra.

The first and the most important aspect for having great sex is good blood circulation. Having good circulation is critical for getting rock hard erections.  Therefore it is important that you eat foods that boost blood circulation. A great example is foods that are rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids like mackerel, salmon and sardines.

The importance of oily fish as as a source of increasing overall health and sexual stamina can not be over emphasized. This is because Omega-3 makes your nervous system function more efficiently and that's exactly what you need for peak sexual stamina and performance.

Oily fish are also rich in minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, all vital for a good sex drive and libido. Moreover, neurological function also contributes to good circulation. Hence, you should add multi vitamins and mineral supplements to your diet.

B complex vitamins help in reducing stress, which is a big libido killer. Make sure you get more of these to get better and firmer erections. You can do so by having foods that contain L-Arginine. Some examples include: Oatmeal, Peanuts, Cashews,Walnuts, Dairy, Green Vegetables, Soybeans, Seeds and Chickpeas.

Studies show that L-Arginine is helpful for improving sexual function in men and in tests 80% of men who took the supplement found they had better erections in just 3 weeks.

This is exactly why it is called Natures Viagra!

Two other herbs that have been used both as a brain tonic and for improving blood circulation include Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba.

Studies indicate that obesity leads to erectile dysfunction and low testosterone in men. As such reducing weight results in an increase in testosterone levels and can therefore improve sexual performance.

The bottom line is Anything that is good for your heart is good for your penis!

You need fats to produce hormones like testosterone. Cholesterol is metabolized in the body via the liver, and you get your testosterone and estrogen from here, so it is essential to get good fats. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated are considered good. Olive oil or salmon are the best source of getting good fats.

However, too much of fat can clog your arteries and restrict blood flow to the penis. This not only interferes with the ability to perform but also affects your overall sexual performance.

Generally, good diet includes oily fish and natural foods. You should avoid processed foods to stay healthy and promote a good circulation of blood through out your body.

Though diet plays a very important role in maintaining your sex drive and testosterone levels, you also need to be active. This means that just diet is not enough, you need to indulge in some sort of exercise. Muscle training is extremely good for you boosting testosterone and it is advised to workout of at least 30-45 minutes to boost your testosterone levels naturally.

Thanks, Boner! (I've been meaning to ask, how did you get that nickname, anyway?)

You've reminded me that I have to lay off some of that stuff. It all works!  Some of my supplements contain that stuff. And Japan is the land of oil fish. Then there's that Omega-3 Flax Oil I drink in the morning and the nuts and stuff.  (Shaawiinng!)

From the legendary Buckeye John in the early days of the locker room......

Boner,
I remember when you got that name. You & I & Larry ( aka Wad) were kidding about taking on male porn star screen names. I wanted to be called Peter North...but that name never stuck. But you and Wad kept your manly names.  Some day I will be called the Peter North of WLS.

So, that's where it came from! I remember Wad. What ever happened to him?  And Chris "the Lube" Lubrecht (sp?) .

 Maybe I could use my old high school nickname, "Hound," which was short for "C**t hound - Had something to do with my behavior when members of the opposite sex were in the vicinity.
