Sex is a romantic thing, and many people like to prepare flowers and wine to create an atmosphere. But such careful arrangements sometimes fail to add points to sex.

Bao Shentao, chief physician of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, told the "Life Times" reporter that romantic dinners can easily make people overeat without realizing it, which in turn reduces sexual desire and affects normal sexual life. Bao Shentao said that after eating, gastrointestinal digestion and absorption of food require energy, so the blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract increases, and the blood supply in other parts of the body will decrease accordingly, which will affect male erection and normal sexual experience. ability. In addition, if you drink a lot of alcohol during a meal, most women and some men will experience a decrease in sexual desire, which is not conducive to sexual life.

American sexual health expert Oscar McHenry pointed out that for men, maintaining a strong and lasting erection during sex consumes a lot of energy and requires the cooperation of multiple organs. Among them, testosterone is very important, it can arouse male sexual desire and help achieve erection. A greasy, unhealthy diet will greatly inhibit the secretion of testosterone. Especially the kind of formal Western food with five main courses, the amount of oil is staggering, and it may become a sex killer.

People who prefer meat can also eat animal liver, fish or shellfish in moderation, but avoid beef and pork that are high in fat and calories.

Bao Shentao suggested that Chinese people can choose shrimp, sea cucumber and other foods that can help increase sexual desire before sex. Foods that strengthen the spleen and kidneys, such as black fungus and yam, are also good choices. After eating, the body will be a little tired, which may affect the quality of sex. Therefore, it is recommended that you wait about one and a half hours after a meal before enjoying sex with your partner.
