Libido Vs Sexual Stamina
But first, what’s the difference between libido and sexual stamina?
Libido and sexual stamina are two different things, however, they all play important roles in having good sex.
Libido is also known as sexual drive. It is a part of sexuality, which has to do with the desire one has for sex.
It can be high or low in different individuals, based on several factors such as hormone level, brain function, emotional state, stress, diet, exercise, old age, and physical health.
Sexual drive helps stimulate sexual arousal, such as erection of the penis and lubrication of the labia.
However, sexual stamina refers to how long you can stay active in bed. It refers to good sexual endurance before taking a break from sex.
One of the factors that affect sexual stamina is orgasm and ejaculation.
However, certain lifestyle habits can help improve your libido and sexual stamina.
Foods That Can Help Boost Your Sexual Stamina and Libido
Apart from other lifestyle habits, eating healthy foods can help boost your sexual life.
Though, all healthy foods help enhance sexual life but there are particular ones that play more significant roles.
Some of these foods include:
Oysters:
Oysters are a great source of protein and they contain other nutrients such as:
Zinc
Iron
Niacin
Copper
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Riboflavin
Phosphorus
They have aphrodisiac properties due to the high zinc content present in them (about 5.5 mg) which helps in the flow of blood to reproductive organs.
This helps in regulating testosterone (male sex hormone) levels and production of semen. It also helps in ovulation and fertility in women.
Alternative sources of zinc from other shellfish include lobster and crab.
Eggs:
Eggs are an essential source of protein. They also contain vitamins A, B, D, E, K, choline, zinc and selenium.
They contain all 9 essential amino acids needed by the body, for tissue repair and energy production.
The vitamin B5, B6 and B12 present in eggs help in regulation of sex hormones.
You should consider consuming one boiled egg, or raw egg before sex as it will give you more lasting energy and boost your libido.
It helps reduce stress during sex, which most often is the cause of premature ejaculation.
Avocado:
Also known as alligator pear, avocado is a natural aphrodisiac rich in nutrients like healthy fats, fiber, vitamin C, E, B6, potassium, magnesium and folate.
The monounsaturated fats in avocados aid adequate circulation of blood to the penis.
They are energy foods that help raise your energy level leading to increased libido, sexual pleasure, and sexual attraction.
Watermelon:
Watermelon contains potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin A and C.
It also contains non-essential amino acids “L-citrulline.”
The body converts this L-citrulline to L-arginine, which stimulates the production of nitric oxide and increases blood flow to the penis, giving a stronger erection.
It also helps improve erection in men with erectile dysfunction.
Fatty Fish:
Examples of fatty fish include salmon, mackerel, anchovies, herring and bluefin tuna.
They contain omega 3s fatty acids, which help prevent plaque build-up in the walls of your arteries and in turn promotes adequate blood flow to the penis and body as a whole.
The Omega-3s also serve as building blocks of sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.
Dark Chocolates:
Chocolates, because of the sweet taste they give, increase the release of mood boosting hormones known as “serotonin.”
This helps alleviate stress-related sex problems like low libido and premature ejaculation.
Ginger and Garlic:
Ginger and garlic not only help in sleep and other body functions.
They also help in increasing libido and sexual stamina due to the component “allicin” that they contain.
This helps keep the heart healthy for sexual activities, by promoting efficient blood flow to the sexual organs in both genders.
It also helps in people with erectile dysfunction.
Meat:
Beef, chicken and pork are rich sources of zinc, L-arginine and L-carnitine.
Zinc helps increase blood flow to sexual organs while L-carnitine and L-arginine are amino acids that help boost testosterone levels and sexual stamina.
On the flip side, excessive consumption of red meats can lead to certain heart diseases.
Apple:
Apples contain an antioxidant flavonoid called “quercetin.”
Quercetin prevents the release of stress hormones “cortisone” which makes you feel fatigued.
All these functions help improve strength and endurance during sex.
Other foods rich in flavonoids include:
Tea
Onions
Cherry
Grapes
Red Wine
Blueberry
Soybeans
Strawberry
Citrus fruits
Nuts:
They contain L-arginine and Omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 in nuts help in enhancing the general quality of the sperm.
They help in proper formation of its shape, motility and vitality.
They also contain magnesium which helps in maintaining erection, as well as sexual stamina.
Examples of such nuts include:
Almonds
Walnuts
Peanuts
Hazelnuts
Cashew nuts.
Banana:
They are rich in potassium and vitamin Bs, giving your body energy and physical endurance to complete a given task.
The potassium in bananas also reduces body aches and muscle spasms that can have an effect on your sexual stamina.
They also help lower blood pressure which ensures proper blood flow to the sexual organs and in turn boost sexual desire.
Foods That Can Affect Your Sexual Stamina and Libido
On the flip side, there are certain foods that can affect your sexual health which you also need to avoid or reduce in your diet.
Some of which includes:
Mint
Sugar
Shrimp
Cheese
Licorice
Red meat
Fried foods
Spicy foods
Canned foods
Excessive Alcohol
Processed foods like white flour.
