1 Toss garlic into a veggie stir-fry - Garlic increases circulation via an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase, promoting more blood flow down there.

2 Add chilli peppers to tacos - Capsaicin in chilli can produce effects that mimic sexual arousal, like a quickened pulse, better circulation, sweating and a release of endorphins, the feel-good chemicals associated with orgasms.

3 Dip chicken fingers in honey - Considered "the nectar of Aphrodite", honey contains boron, which has a libido-enhancing effect.

4 Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on rice - Pomegranates are packed with antioxidants, which increase arterial blood flow to the brain and genitals.

5 Don't forget chocolate for dessert - In addition to ending the meal on a sweet note, you'll both get a dose of theobromine from your decadent dessert, which helps your brain produce serotonin that will keep the good vibes going.
