What guy doesn’t want to know what turns women on? It’s tough to nail it down because some things just sound too crazy to believe. Like, the myths of the female exercise-induced orgasm. How many women do you know who cop to that one? None, right? Most gym action come from looking at the treadmill next to them and realizing they can see the dude’s junk through the gap in his shorts. A minor thrill, sure. But certainly not orgasmic.
But according to research, the exercise-induced orgasm is real … and so are these other odd libido enhancers. Some sort of make sense, and some sound downright bizarre, but science doesn’t care if you get laid or not, so why would it lie about what turns women on?
1) Cucumbers
Along with looking like a huge … cucumber, research suggests the scent of cucumbers is a turn-on to women while the scent of pumpkin pie is a turn on to men. Looks like it’s time to go out and buy that juicer you never really wanted.
2) Watermelon
According to experts, watermelon contains an amino acid called arginine, which can increase blood flow — including to the below-the-belt regions — and crank up libido.
3) Yoga
Doggy style may start with downward dog. Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves. Lame jokes aside, researchers have found a link between a regular yoga practice and increased libido. Not only that, but partner’s yoga has been found to be the key in restoring intimacy in couples who are going through a rocky time. And contrary to popular belief, guys don’t have to wear Lulu Lemon or drive a Prius to practice yoga.
4) Indian Food
If you’re looking to get laid it might be best to forgo this because … well, digestion. Still, spices like saffron can actually rev up libido, in part because they increase circulation.
5. Hotel sex
The wide selection of pay-per-view porn channels has nothing to do with it. Studies have found a correlation between novelty and sexual desire, so doing it somewhere new can bring the same old between-the-sheets action over the top. And if neither of you feel like springing for a night away from home, even moving the action to the guest room, the floor, the dining room table, etc. can produce the same effect.
6. A Grande Latte.
Inviting her up for an after dinner cappuccino is more than a euphemism; studies have actually linked caffeine ingestion with desire. Not only that, but the caffeine kick can give both of you enough energy to knock boots instead of crash on the couch.
7. Your sweaty T-shirt
She may say she hates confronting a pile of your dirty laundry, but research suggests otherwise. Just a whiff of your natural musk can enhance sexual desire. That doesn’t give you a pass to wear your nasty sweat-riddled rags for hours at a clip; a hint is all it takes.
8. Instagram
Studies have found that looking at a photo of your partner triggers activity in the area of the brain associated with dopamine — the feel-good chemical. So quit taking photos of your goddamn dinner and start snapping some of your lady. Don’t tag them right away, either. Wait until you’re going to see her again and then do it. That might help crank up her desire before you and she connect that night. Read: Sex.
