Got leftovers? Try this

Posted By on Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 11:48 AM

Thanksgiving is over, and you have a fridge full of leftovers. You could do that turkey salad thing, you could donate it to someone less-fortunate. Or you could use that food to make your holiday sex even more exciting. By now your friends and family should have their mooching asses out of your house. This means, you and you other half can do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.

If you have these things in your fridge, get ready for some serious loving:

Sweet Potato: The sweet potato, while not exactly scientifically proven, has been said to increase the female sex drive if consumed in large amounts. What science does know about the sweet potato is that it is high in potassium, which helps reduce stress, as well as Vitamins A, C and iron—all important sex drive-enhancing nutrients.

Pumpkin Pie: Pumpkin pie does more than expand your waitline: it's also an olfactory sexual aphrodisiac. According Alan Hirsch, a neurologist at Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, the aroma of pumpkin pie increases blood flow to the penis by 40 percent. It works even better when combined with the scent of lavender. And it's not just the smell that gives rise. When consumed, pumpkin provides a healthy dose of zinc, an element necessary for healthy blood flow and testosterone production.

Chocolate: What's not to love about chocolate? Not only does it pump up your endorphins, it also stimulates the production of dopamine in the brain and will increase a woman's sex drive. What's more, according to Italian researchers, women who eat chocolate regularly have a better sex life than those who deny themselves the treat. So, do yourself a favor and include this Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie along with the classic pumpkin.

    I thought killing yourself while experiencing an orgasm was just an old wives' tale.
