Is your sex drive in dire need of a boost? Do not despair. Read on to discover 15 ways to get your libido back on track tonight.

1. Exercise releases endorphins which are the “feel good” chemicals in the brain. Not only will you de-stress, but you’ll be in a more sexual mood after. Grab a pair of tennis shoes and get going!

2. Eat some chocolate! Chocolate contains a nutrient called phenethylamine, which enhances one’s mood. It’s naturally produced in the brain when we fall in love.

3. Buy a cucumber and take a whiff. According to a study by Chicago’s Smell And Taste Research Cenre, cucumber is the leading scent that heightens arousal in women.

4. Eat some pumpkin seeds or nuts which are rich in arginine, an amino acid. It increases blood flow to your nether regions.

5. Have a drink or two to help release tension and lower your inhibitions. Beware of drinking too much, though, as you might create the opposite of the desired effect.

6. Make a spa appointment and head to the steam room. This will increase blood flow which naturally increases libido.

7. Do something adventurous! Trying out something new with your partner (both sexual and non-sexual experiences) can boost the chemical dopamine in the brain which helps get your sex drive charged up and ready to go.

8. Eat some oysters for a change. These mollusks are natural aphrodisiacs due to their rare amino acid content.

9. Eat some lean red meat. This protein is naturally rich in dopamine and norepinephrine which increase sensitivity in the bedroom.

10. Stand outside your favorite restaurant or bakery and take in the smells. The smell of food turns men on and increases penile blood flow.

11. Play a game of football and let your man win. A competition is great foreplay and increases testosterone production in men.

12. Eat some melons. They’re full of citrulline which is a chemical shown to relax blood vessels and similar to the effect of Viagra.

13. Try a holistic remedy. Studies show that many women who receive acupuncture report a heightened interest in sex.

14. Stop going all the way. Giving yourself a break from sex helps you to rediscover other pleasure zones and will make you want to do it even more when the break is over.

15. Touch your partner! Having close contact boosts levels of oxytocin and creates a deeper connection between you and your partner. Don’t underestimate the power of physical contact outside the bedroom.
