You gulped down a tidepool’s worth of oysters in an effort to supercharge your libido…and what happened later that night will remain a dark secret between you and your lavatory. But giving your sex drive a boost doesn’t have to involve shoveling down mollusks or overdosing on chocolate. The secret to jumpstarting your libido can actually be as easy as…sniffing a sweaty guy?
Most gyms smell like Right Guard and feet, so it’s unlikely you’ll feel a tingle in your nether regions when you walk into a 24 Hour Fitness. But did you know the scent of your boyfriend post-workout can, er, get your juices flowing? The Journal of Neuroscience reported that women who sniffed their mate’s sweat experienced an increase of the stress hormone cortisol, which may increase arousal. Because exercise has also been shown to boost libido, consider going for a run with your guy, then enjoy his sweaty goodness immediately afterward. Oh, and FYI: you don’t have to shove your face into his armpit and take gargantuan gulps for the cortisol magic to work.
*Okay, so this book might actually kill your libido, but there's plenty of sex: Check out A Coupla Shades of Taupe at amazon.com.
