It is so laid down by nature that a person strives for pleasure all his life. Having received his "dose", he wants more and more, so that the feeling of euphoria never ends. Aphrodisiacs have been powerful assistants in achieving this goal since time immemorial. This unusual name hides substances that stimulate attraction and cause a sense of arousal. They are named so in honor of Aphrodite, the famous Greek goddess of love.
Properties of aphrodisiacs
Foods, drinks and aromatic oils, which are aphrodisiac in nature, have long been shrouded in myths, and their action was explained by something supernatural. Since they were shrouded in mystery, they were given names no less mysterious - "love potion", "elixir of love" and so on. These funds, which were considered magical by the common people, played a crucial role in ensuring the future of humanity, as they helped families to continue the race, because a large number of children at that time was always a sign of well-being. Today, aphrodisiacs have evolved from a fertility drug to a tool that helps add sensuality and brightness to relationships.
Of course, scientists have found a scientific explanation for the supposedly magical properties of aphrodisiacs. As it turned out, it is due to common chemical reactions. For example, the use of products with such properties allows you to improve blood circulation and metabolism, as a result of which a person feels a sharp surge of strength, including to the erogenous zones. After taking aphrodisiacs, a man (or woman) feels inside himself a real fountain of energy and a tendency to perform sexual feats.
Types of aphrodisiacs
Since there are a lot of different types of aphrodisiacs, for convenience there is their classification into separate groups according to the source of origin. In this regard, all of them can be divided into plant, animal and mineral. There is also a division by form, within which aphrodisiacs are divided into foods, drinks, oils, incense and aromas, flowers and herbs.
Oysters are one of the most active natural aphrodisiacs. It is not surprising, because old legends say that the goddess Aphrodite was born in an oyster shell. But in fact, such an effectiveness of this product in terms of creating desire is due to the fact that it is very rich in zinc, which increases the production of testosterone, which is responsible for increasing potency. Oysters are also rich in iron, which helps transport oxygen through the blood vessels.
In addition to oysters, mussels, snails, shrimps and even seaweed are excellent aphrodisiacs. Finally, when it comes to foods that increase energy and increase sexual desire, do not forget about everyone's favorite chocolate. This delicacy contains a large number of substances that powerfully stimulate those parts of the brain that are associated with relaxation and pleasure. Chocolate stimulates the body's production of the hormone of happiness - endorphin.
