Studies show we require vitamins C, B, and E, plus essential fatty acids, potassium and zinc, for a healthy and vibrant sex life. Here are some foods rich in these vital nutrients.

1. Almonds
As well as containing essential fatty acids, which play a vital role in hormone production, sweet almonds are also feted for their sensuous smell.

2. Asparagus
This phallic-looking vegetable is bursting with vitamin E, essential for a healthy sex life. It’s also pricey, so serving it is bound to impress.

3. Avocados
This fruit has been revered since ancient times and is a great source of folic acid, one of the B vitamins required for healthy nerve function. Folic acid is also essential to healthy fetal growth (should you get that far). Plus, avocados contain potassium, which is thought to boost libido.

4. Bananas
It’s not only their suggestive shape that make bananas sexy, this fruit is a vitamin powerhouse, that’s high in potassium and a great source of energy.

5. Chilli
Capsaicin, the active compound in chillies, works to release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. These give a feeling of well-being. This feisty food is also high in vitamin C. A great choice – if you can handle them – but if you’re cooking with them, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards!
