A strong libido is something every man wants – and their women too! Many things affect our sex drive – age, health, stress, hormonal changes, and medication. Some of these are out of our control, but what we put into our bodies is. The saying you are what you eat is true. If you eat crap, you’ll feel like crap.
Superfoods can increase your sex drive and stave off impotence. Most of these foods contain vitamins and minerals that pump up your testosterone, an important hormone in healthy male and female sex drives. You may not like all of these foods, or they may clash with your diet, but there should be something for everyone on this list.

Avocados
This sexy fruit contains high levels of folic acid which gives the body sexual energy. A high content of B6 acts as a hormone regulator.
