4 Aphrodisiacs That Will Surprise You

Forget strawberries and chocolate; it's about time guys invested a little more into foreplay in not such an obvious way. There are a few natural foods that have the same effect as conventional aphrodisiacs, yet are not widely known. The best part about these is that you can even pick them up yourself and prepare to get in the mood, without seeming like you're doing so.

1)    Tea: Aside from containing antioxidants that get your blood flowing, a cup of good tea acts as a form of aromatherapy. Warm tea has an overall soothing effect, relieving tense muscles. Cold tea works well, too, but has a different effect; try it with pumps of flavored syrup or sweetener for an energy boost. Hot or cold, a good brew will give you the pre-relaxation you need to feel amazing in bed.

2)    Walnuts: Nuts contain unsaturated fats – the good oils that provide energy and increase brain activity. At the same time, they're known to be a health food that lowers stress-levels, soothing higher levels of adrenaline or anxiety. Being relaxed yet energetic at the same time is the perfect state to be in. And the best part about these is that they require little to no preparation; they can be eaten as snacks or even tossed in a salad. Munch on these nuts for enhanced stimulation and pleasure.

3)    Mint: This flavor is the best wake up call for your mind and senses. Mint leaves can be hard to incorporate into your diet... So just keep in mind the flavor itself. If you're going to choose a drink, try a mojito. Chew strong-flavored mint gum. Pick mint chocolate chip ice cream. The very scent of the mint will help heighten and invigorate your senses... Just what you need to feel amazing with every stroke during foreplay.

4)  Peaches: We all know sweets are a girl's best friend. While peaches are full of natural sugars, they're also a fantastic super food rich in nutrients; they have a natural sedative that reduce stress and anxiety. Keeping relaxed is key, for girls especially. So a sugary treat that has a stress-relieving effect may be just the thing you need; this extra kick will loosen you up and put you in the mood to be a little more wild!
