We all know that some foods can turn the heat up in the bedroom, but how about those that kill the vibe? Our libido is affected by a variety of factors such as stress, work, financial status, and most importantly the food we eat. However, though we cannot always control what we eat, we can definitely ensure that on the day of a date or the night before a date once can surely be mindful of what you are eating. Certain foods which can cause a dip in your sex drive should definitely be avoided. Below are 3 foods that you should skip or avoid eating before getting intimate with your partner.
1. Beans.
You might love gorging on baked beans, beans stew or anything that’s made out of beans, but it’s best to avoid these foods before lovemaking. Beans contain sugar molecules that are quite hard for the body to digest, and by the time it reaches your colon, the bacteria turns these molecules into a lot of gas which is going cause farting during intimacy.
2. Fried foods.
Most of us love to order French fries when we go out to eat. However, if you’re going on a date that might lead to intimacy later on, avoid ordering fries. The oil used to make French fries takes time to digest in the stomach making you feel full and bloated. This isn’t a pleasant feeling especially when you’re trying to get intimate with your partner and it can kill the mood very quickly.
3. Soy products.
Soy might be healthy, but consuming excessive amounts can cause hormonal imbalance, and that caused low libido. A study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men who consume 120 milligrams or more of soy a day had a significant decrease in testosterone.
