Especially in the run-up to Christmas, many people feel very stressed. Studies even show that the stress level is highest at Christmas. Stress, in turn, can have a direct impact on your sexual desire and lead to a decreased libido. And yet, especially now, when it’s often dreary and cold outside, there are many ways to make yourself comfortable at home and be close. Our tip: Why don’t you arrange a date for some sensual Christmas baking and try out some stimulating spices? Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, dark chocolate and Brazil nuts are not only popular ingredients at Christmas time – they can also boost your libido and provide a real firework in bed!
1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a universally very popular spice that scores not only at Christmas time. The spice is also said to play an important role in the production of pheromones in men and women. Pheromones are scents and messengers produced by the body that subconsciously enhance sexual attraction. In addition, cinnamon is said to have a positive effect on male potency.
nutmeg
Nutmeg has been appreciated for its invigorating effect throughout Europe since the 16th century. Its main active ingredient, myristicin, has a stimulating effect on your libido. By the way, nutmeg is most effective when freshly grated. But be careful: do not overdo it! An overdose can quickly lead to headaches and stomach upsets.
3. vanilla
Vanilla beans also promise a desire-increasing effect, as they contain pheromone-like substances. These natural attractants make you sexually attractive and simply irresistible for your lover! During sex, the exchange of pheromones is particularly high. In addition, vanilla beans are exotic and highly aromatic and beguile not least by their sweet-erotic scent.
4. dark chocolate
Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content of at least 70% increases your dopamine level and simply makes you happy! Thanks to the flavonoids contained, the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline is also reduced. On top of that, it contains many bitter substances and large amounts of the messenger substance phenylethylamine. Both make you awake, alert and agile! Dark chocolate also has an extremely positive effect on blood circulation – even in the intimate area.
5. Brazil nuts
Brazil nuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and zinc, which can increase testosterone production, fertility and libido, especially in men. However, testosterone is not only a libido booster in men, but also the key hormone for female desire. Especially Brazil nuts are a guarantee to raise this important sex hormone a little.
It’s best to find out for yourself what tastes particularly good to you and at the same time stimulates you and gets you “going”. But the most important thing is that you take time for each other and have fun baking together. Afterwards, you can try out the effect of the pleasure-increasing ingredients right away!
