Aphrodisiacs

[Pizzabeak]

Does anyone know any effective aphrodisiacs that you commonly use or are familiar with? Doing some research and looking for suggestions.

testosterone, I guess.

high-calorie diets and exercise increases testosterone, if I recall correctly

intake of saturated and monounsaturated fats increases testosterone, whereas polyunsaturated (omega 3 and omega 6) decreases it, apparently (source)

i.e. eat more steaks and avocados, less plant oils.

as a side note, a regular person in the developed world typically gets something like 20:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 (mainly because of too much plant oils and too little fish), whereas optimal ratio is more something like 1:1. I would not be surprised if this also has an effect on steroid hormones as they are quite sensitive to fats.

I didn't ask to be lectured about things I already know about. You could have just mentioned it and skipped the explanation. Not ejaculating for lengthy periods of time also increases it.

So females can use testosterone on a date, or pregame with it for preparation? I meant things like wine or chocolate. Estrogen acts similarly for them, or more so promotes behavior suited towards predation and being hunted ("the guy has to talk to the girl first"). Then you're basically moving into "politically correct" territory, no means yes, so as to be so intuitive and demonstrate high EQ that you can "read between the lines" and manipulate events satisfactorily (the whole "James Bond", misogynist, "rape" thing), so it's somewhere in between "asking permission" or getting consent, and being like a badass, probably spoiled rich kid on a good day that just does everything swimmingly for people.

jesus christ, chill the fuck out. But fine, I'll use my telepathic powers next time to figure out what you already know and adjust my post length to suit your tastes, Pizza.

and btw, testosterone exists in females too and is related to libido in the same way as in men.

Apologies in advance for potential sense of being lectured to and possibly word count of post.

Music is good, start of with something gentle and romantic maybe a bit of Frank Sinatra, some Meatloaf, then some more upbeat dance stuff (Mambo No.5) then go hard with Black Betty by Spiderbait.

PB's head, where 'no' means 'yes' and 'tell me about aphrodisiacs' means 'shut up serac I already fucking know'.

It's not so much a trivia contest. Ultimately, it's a matter of preference. I did already know some, by testosterone, you meant things like exercise or activities together, probably yoga or other things couples can do together, even hiking, in which, it's mostly the adrenaline that people seek, they aren't so much thinking about the testosterone they could get.

You can't really say you regret not using any testosterone or aphrodisiacs to the most fulfillment. Life might not be about connecting with anyone, and instead just the right people - if you're capable of distinguishing them from other people, who may or may not be satisfied with what they have or not even know what they're looking for.

Integrity usually involves coming to terms with contradiction.

Going to a trivia or quiz night together might be a standard aphrodisiac.

I have a book on yoga. I follow the instructions. After two hours of yoga you get a boner like you swallowed a viagra pill. Dont know if it works for others, but it does for me.

I have heard pomegranates have some such property.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Right. Er, I was going to post something new last night but got too busy. Leaving this message here as motivation to try and remember.

Another thing is cannabis is effectively an aphrodisiac and as a herb, more. And since people just let their mind wander to its utmost capability under no logical structure at all when I say anything whatsoever, they’ll wonder if acid or mushrooms also are as well. And the answer is, it’s mostly the weed that enhances anything, oddly enough. A lower tolerance is better, and even so, when you smoke any weed on acid or mushrooms, it just potentiates it. So you need one regardless or without the other it doesn’t work. I think it’s also that weed causes “paranoia” through in part an increase in heart rate, so if people know or suspect you have smoked, they can use “mind games” passed off as “subtle” to just mess with you, I guess. As far as communication goes, people just provoke a response, because they know they’ll lose an “argument”, “debate”, or any kind of direct interaction/“conversation”.

Porngrenades?? I guess that could work, yes

Mussels and clams are known to be aphrodisiacs, probably because of their high vitamin B contents. But seriously, for a guy to be stimulated there's no better way than exercise, sports, biking. Men with low libido don't exercise. It's a fact because I said so.

 

[Pizzabeak]

There’s little else to add so I’ll just expand on the cannabis aspect for now. It’s more than an appetite stimulant or suppressor, harnessing pain killing properties as well. That it has all those aspects makes it have the reputation of a herb effective in battling depression or any kind of PTSD.

Knowing someone so well can never go wrong as one.

Aphrodisiac comes from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, pronounced with long i’s and e’s. There’s no accent that pronounces it af-ro-dight. It simply isn’t aph-ro-di-dee/tee either. Rather, it’s a-fro-dedee, utilizing both pronunciations and an accent. It isn’t American English. Instead, an author I read, uses the example of forte. People might say “Oh, that’s not my forté,” saying it like for-tay. But, that’s using the literal French word. If you’re in America using that English let alone accent, the correct way would be “fort”, with a silent e. However, borrowing words from other languages is still a thing. Sometimes they become warped so as to almost turn into a word originating from that language.

I don’t think this is something I’ve said before, but they say girls are most attracted to guys who look like their father.

Chocolate. Alcohol. Music.

My wife and I vacationed in Greece last summer and we were introduced to a herbal extract called Dittany of Crete. Does not work for everyone, but it did for me. Half teaspoon and we had to cut our afternoon short because I outgrew my shorts. All I could think about was getting back to our room. Afraid to take it back with me through customs, but I will look for some stateside. Side note: may work for some women. It did not increase desire in my mate, but did swell her clit to the size of my thumb.

I find smell a great aphrodisiac, if they have a good natural aroma it just hits the spot for me.
