13 Foods You¡¯re Better Off Avoiding Before Having Sex

Avoid these foods as they can leave you feeling bloated, lethargic and unsexy
Regi George Jenarius Updated on Sep 16, 2017, 12:08 IST

While most of us are aware of the foods that act as aphrodisiacs, only a handful are aware of the foods we should avoid at all costs. Not only will these make you feel bloated, unsexy and lethargic, they are likely to prevent you from getting it on!?

#1. French fries

prozeny.cz

As tempting as reaching for those French fries are at all times fried foods (including the likes of pizza) are disastrous for your libido. They lower your testosterone levels, decrease blood circulation, and reduce your chances of maintaining strong erections.

#2. Hot dogs

hit.com

Thinking of chomping on a hot dog towards the end of your grand night out before heading back for a raunchy session under the sheets? Although this super popular snack is great when paired with beer while watching your favourite sport it¡¯s loaded with the kind of saturated fat that can clog the arteries that improve blood flow to your sexual organs.?

#3. Processed foods

jornalandradashoje.com.br

Whether it is the aforementioned hot dog or the savoury cupcake, the trans fat and sugars in processed food items can weigh down your digestion and slow your blood flow; hampering your sex drive. ?Over time this can cause a loss of muscle mass, increase in fat and a dip in your testosterone levels.?

#4. Canned or packaged foods

crowncork.com

Canned or packaged foods are loaded with crippling levels of sodium. When we say crippling we mean that it can elevate your blood pressure to unfavourable levels and blockade the flow of blood to certain parts your body, like your genitals, leaving your limp. ?

#5. Beer

If your night out entails having sex, later on, make sure it doesn't include cracking open pints of beer in the build-up to it. Although it might give you the buzz you seek the phytoestrogens present in beer stand a good chance to alter the hormones that tamper with your libido.?

#6. Energy drinks?

lechenie.bg

These bottled up potions of liquid give you instant energy due to the caffeine and sugar they are loaded with, but they do just the opposite to your sexual stamina. Once the caffeine and sugar burn off in your system they leave you with lesser energy than you had before. Studies also suggest that it lowers the level of the hormone serotonin that impacts your mood.

#7. Tonic water

dandywithlens.com

Although this makes for a perfect combination with gin it doesn¡¯t fair that well with your testosterone levels. The chemical quinine present in the water not only kills your sex drive and lowers your sperm count but it also can cause gas and bloating.?

#8. All sorts of beans

megabrasil.jp

Love your rice and beans? Science has it that beans contain oligosaccharides (sugar molecules that the body cannot fully breakdown), which create gas and excessive cramping. And these are the last two things you want to be feeling down there when you¡¯re setting yourself to get it on.

#9. Cruciferous vegetables?

15min.lt.

Sometimes the healthiest of vegetables can be just what you need to avoid in certain situations. Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower create a lot of gas since our body cannot digest the natural sugars found in them. The methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced by your body, as a result, can really stink up your surroundings.?

#10. Tofu

thesuperhealthy.com

Tofu has earned its name as one of the healthier options of protein for vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well, but not so much before a sexual encounter. Soy laden products increase your estrogen levels that have shown to decrease the estrogen levels in both sexes.

#11. Onions and garlic

mavcure.com

If your food is loaded with onions and garlic, like most of our food is, try to avoid them in your meal prep before you engage in coitus. These pungent vegetables can affect your body odour for the worse; similar to how spices do.?

#12. Red meats

dietdoctor.com

If you¡¯re big on eating meats like lamb, pork or beef, especially on night outs where you¡¯re looking forward to a romp in the sack, later on, swap it with seafood instead. Red meat is associated with the production of foul-smelling gas that can be downright offensive in nature!

#13. Cream-based sauces

diatrofi.gr

Avoid cream-based sauces, such as the ones they use to make pasta in some restaurants; their heavy nature will put your system into a slump. The cream can upset your stomach and cause gas if you're lactose intolerant dampening your elevated spirits.?
