Sex with chocolate is a myth?

Chocolate is sometimes called an aphrodisiac, but new research published in The International Society for Sexual Medicine, shows that the delicacy is not working like an aphrodisiac.

Scientists at several universities found that chocolate does contain ingredients that are linked to a high levels of serotonin, a substance that excites our sexual appetite in our brains. But in practice, people who eat chocolate does not have significantly more interest in sex. The researchers observed in a bar two groups: one group of subjects treated with chocolate, the second group chocolate. In retrospect, was probed their interest in sex and it shows that the people who ate chocolate had no more or less sense than the rest. The scientists concluded from their findings that the fact that chocolate as an aphrodisiac act all the time, was a persistent myth.

Oysters are rich in amino acids and serotonin, and therefore diving frequently in lists of aphrodisiac foods. They also contain a lot of zinc, a convenient mineral to produce testosterone. Nevertheless, the researchers can not scientifically substantiate that the shellfish increase our sexual appetite. Honey also absolutely does not help.

But it is not completely lost. The study shows that extracts of the Chinese tree Ginkgo Biloba does mean something to your sex life. A small study showed that the tree, really has medicinal properties and problems of a sexual nature in both men and women can do fade.
