Foods that Lower Your Sex Drive

Mint: Though bad breath is certainly a turn-off, the mints you're popping to freshen up that kisser may actually be throwing off your game. Mint produces the secondary alcohol known as menthol, which has a cooling effect on the body and sex drive. "Try chewing ginger instead," says Pasquella. "In comparison to menthol, this herb actually heats up your body and spices up your love life!"

Fried Foods: Staying away from bacon and French fries is a no brainer when it comes to eating healthy. But if that's not enough to quell your cravings, there is another big reason to resist: The trans fat found in fried dishes is a serious libido depressor. Not only do these hydrogenated fats lower testosterone levels, but research has proven they can cause poor quality and abnormal sperm in men. Cynthia Pasquella, celebrity nutritionist and author of The Hungry Hottie Cookbook, suggests substituting a baked potato for those fries. It will increase dopamine levels (also known as the 'desire hormone') and can help manufacture histamine, the natural compound known for its orgasm potential.

Sugar: Did you ever hear that John Harvey Kellogg created corn flakes to decrease interest in sex? Well, according to Keri Glassman, nutritionist and author of The New You and Improved Diet (Rodale, Dec 2012), with the amount of sugar in the cereal, he may have been on the right track. Too many sweets cause spikes and crashes in blood level, which will ultimately zap your testosterone. The amount of testosterone in men and women is directly related to libido and sex drive.
