Afrodisiac Fruits
Watermelon
A bet you didn’t realize that watermelon was an aphrodisiac fruit! A few slices of juicy watermelon will have you aroused in no time!

The viagra-like effect may have you and your loved one eating watermelon more often.
Avocado
It could be the smooth creamy texture or the sensual shape that has this fruit ranking among the top aphrodisiac fruits, but researchers suggest that it has more to do with its high concentration of Vitamin E. The elevated levels of the vitamin help couples keep the spark alive far longer than just a few hours due to the fact that they keep the body youthful and energized.
Strawberries
Do visions of Julia Roberts seductively devouring chocolate covered strawberries in Pretty Women come to mind? Aside from its lovely color and heart-shaped figure, this romance inducing fruit has a powerful punch packed full of Vitamin C. The ancient Romans believed that it caused an increase in sexual appetite, but we now know that strawberries get the blood flowing to all the ‘important’ areas of the body.

Pomegranate

Banana
This phallic shaped super fruit is the ultimate of aphrodisiacs. In addition to its suggestive form, bananas are rich in bromelain, potassium and vitamin B. The latter aid in boosting levels of energy, helping in an assortment of physical activities, but it’s the bromelain that really makes the difference. The testosterone producing enzyme is the key to a healthy male libido.
