For those of us who could use a little libido pick-me-up, the grocery store might be a good place to start.

Like many aspects of our health, our sex drive is affected by what we put into our bodies. A few drinks and a thick steak, followed by a rich chocolate dessert, may sound romantic, but it is actually a prologue to sleep--not sex.

Humans have sought ways to enhance or improve their sex lives for millennia--and have never been reluctant to spend money to make themselves better lovers. The ancient Romans were said to prefer such exotic aphrodisiacs as hippo snouts and hyena eyeballs. Traditional Chinese medicine espoused the use of such rare delicacies as rhino horn. Modern lovers are no less extravagant. In 2005, for example, according to Amsterdam-based health care information company Wolters Kluwer, Americans spent just under $1.4 billion to treat male sexual function disorders alone.

Of that amount, Viagra rang up $1.2 billion in sales for Pfizer (nyse: PFE - news - people ), or 60% of the total market. Among the other drugs trying to find their way into American's bedside tables and back pockets are Levitra, which is made by Bayer (nyse: BAY - news - people ), but marketed in the U.S. by GlaxoSmithKline (nyse: GSK - news - people ) and Schering-Plough (nyse: SGP - news - people ), and Cialis, which was jointly developed by Eli Lilly (nyse: LLY - news - people ) and ICOS (nasdaq: ICOS - news - people ).

There is a difference, of course, between helping sexual dysfunction and arousing our passions. The problem is that, these days, there are more solutions for the former than the latter.

Aphrodisiacs, for the most part, have been proved to be ineffective. Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sex and beauty, these include an array of herbs, foods and other "agents" that are said to awaken and heighten sexual desire. But the 5,000-year tradition of using them is based more on folklore than real science. "There is no data and no scientific evidence," says Leonore Tiefer, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine. "Product pushers are very eager to capitalize on myths," she says.

Most libido-enhancing products offer short term benefit at best, according to Dr. John Mulhall, Director of the Sexual Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian and associate professor of urology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Mulhall, who also sits on the Nutraceuticals Committee of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, says: "Every year we review the literature on these compounds--these nutraceuticals like nitric oxide and ginseng--and there are none that have really been shown to be more than a placebo."

When it comes to sexual function, the placebo effect is probably 30% in men and around 50% in women, he says. That means there are a lot of people out there who believe a pill they are taking or a food they are eating is doing a lot of good for them sexually. In reality, their mind is doing all the work.

So, besides renting The Story of O and opening a bottle of red wine, what can people do to kick start their sex life?

One thing they can do is change their diet. Soy, for example, binds estrogen receptors, which helps the vaginal area remain lubricated, and combats symptoms of menopause--particularly hot flashes. Studies have shown that soy is also beneficial to the prostate, a crucial male sex organ. Chili peppers and ginger are believed to improve circulation and stimulate nerve endings, which could, in turn, improve sexual pleasure.

Foods that promote weight loss also hold libido-boosting potential. "There has been very solid research showing that obesity is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction and low testosterone," says Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh, director of the New York Center for Human Sexuality and associate professor of urology at Columbia University's medical school. "Reducing weight," he says, "results in an increase of testosterone, and thus an increase in sexual function."

"From an erection stand point, anything that's good for your heart is good for your penis," says Dr. Mulhall. Too much saturated fat can, over time, clog arteries and, in doing so, prevent an adequate flow of blood from reaching the genital region. This not only interferes with the ability to perform, but also with sexual pleasure. Too little fat, on the other hand, is also bad.

"You need fat to produce your hormones," says Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and president of the World Association for Sexology. "Cholesterol is metabolized in the liver, and you get your testosterone and estrogen, which you need for your sex drive," she says. Olive oil, salmon and nuts are optimal sources of the "good" kinds of fats--monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

According to Dr. Judith Reichman, author of I'm Not in the Mood: What Every Woman Should Known about Improving Her Libido, medical and hormonal problems are major contributors to sexual dysfunction and a low libido--but so are too much stress, relationship difficulties and psychological issues. Antidepressants, such as Prozac by GlaxoSmithKline and Paxil by Eli Lilly, can negatively impact sex drive as well.

Without a doubt, the intake of excessive amounts of alcohol impairs sexual function. But a little alcohol helps ease inhibitions. Wine and champagne are widely used to set a romantic mood. Add some chocolate-covered strawberries to the mix, and the outcome could be good. We don't need scientific evidence to convince us that ambience is one of the few truly effective aphrodisiacs.

Chocolate can, of course, be quite sensual. But the craving of choice for many women may have some real benefits to their sex lives. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a chemical compound that can produce feelings of euphoria and happiness by releasing dopamine, the brain chemical that also surges during orgasms. Like all sweet things, enjoy your chocolate in moderation, as--unless you are underweight--gaining weight is not likely to prove beneficial to your sex life

As we all know, spicy foods get the heart pumping. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chilies their "burn," might also trigger the brain to release endorphins--substances that, at high levels, can create a sensation of pleasure. Apparently, chili peppers stimulate the nervous system, which can, in turn, accentuate the effects of sexual arousal.

diet high in fruits and vegetables can impact our sex lives in a couple of ways. For one, it helps lower cholesterol levels, which keeps the blood moving in all of the important places. In addition, fruits and vegetables help in weight loss since, relative to most food, they are low in calories and high in fiber, which makes us feel full. Since obesity is associated with low testosterone levels, anything we do to ensure proper body mass will only help our sex lives.

Adding fiber and complex carbohydrates to your diet aids in weight management. This is crucial because obesity is linked to low testosterone--something which contributes to decreases in both sexual drive and function. Choose whole wheat over white bread, and have whole grain cereal instead of cornflakes for breakfast. Oats are the grain of choice, as some researchers say they increase the amount of testosterone in the blood. Whole grains also help sustain energy levels, which can be useful in bed.

stimulant for the circulatory system, ginger is said to increase blood flow to the genitals. It's the plant's aromatic stem that's used for culinary and medicinal purposes. It can be eaten raw, cooked or crystallized.

Honey's special power comes from the mineral boron, which helps the body utilize estrogen, the basic female sex hormone. Some researchers claim that honey also increases energy levels. It's likely creative minds will also think of other ways to milk honey of its potential libido-boosting powers.


The Roman allegedly tossed walnuts--not rice--at newlyweds, as they were considered symbols of fertility. While there may not be much scientific evidence behind this tradition, we do know that nuts can help keep our vascular system healthy, which ensures adequate blood flow to the genital region. Nuts are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to lower cholesterol. They also contain other heart-healthy nutrients as well, like magnesium, folic acid and zinc.

Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love for whom aphrodisiacs are named, gave birth to Eros on an oyster shell, marking the beginning of the oyster's sexual reputation. And there actually might be some truth to this notoriety: Oysters are notably high in zinc, which is needed for testosterone production. It has been shown, too, that men with zinc-deficient diets are at risk for prostate problems. In male reproduction, zinc may be necessary for adequate testosterone levels and sperm counts.

Along with being low in fat and excellent sources of protein, soy products, such as tofu and soy milk, have phytoestrogens, which are said to combat PMS and menopause--two things that can definitely get in the way of a good sex life. "Because soy binds estrogen receptors, it helps keep the vaginal area lubricated, which especially helps women whose estrogen levels are decreasing," says Beverly Whipple, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and vice president of the World Association for Sexology.
