6 Foods That’ll Boost Your Stamina in the Bedroom

When it comes to getting it on, there’s almost nothing worse than finding yourself deflated. (you know, down there) before either of you are thoroughly satsified.

Sure, there are science-backed supplements you can take to supercharge your libido. and keep you going long and strong, but there are also plenty of foods.—some of which you definitely already have in your fridge—that can improve your stamina in the bedroom.

Here are six of the best foods to eat if you want to last all night.

1. Fruits and vegetables

“Plant foodsOpens a New Window. are packed with nutrients and low in fat,” says Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “As a result, they help keep the arteries unclogged and help prevent both heart disease and erectile dysfunction.”

A particularly powerful pick: tomatoes. “Studies show that the tomato component lycopene, a member of the vitamin A family, helps maintain prostate health,” says Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., a nutrition scientist and exercise physiologist. Lycopene is best absorbed when tomatoes are cooked with a little oil, as in pasta sauce.

2. Nuts

They’re high in the amino acid arginine, which is crucial to the synthesis of nitric oxide, a compound in the body involved in generating erections. What’s more, “nut oils are nowhere near as harmful as saturated fat or trans fats,” Lieberman says. “In fact, recent studies show that nuts help reduce cholesterol.”

3. Pumpkin seeds

“In addition to being a rich source of zinc, pumpkin seeds are packed with nutrients, including the antioxidants selenium and vitamin E, which are good for the arteries,” Bonci says.

4. Olive oil

Saturated fat and trans fats narrow the arteries, but monounsaturated fat, found in olive oil, helps keep them functioning well.

5. Wheat germ

It’s difficult to get enough vitamin E from diet alone, but wheat germ is a particularly good source. “It helps keep the arteries healthy,” Lieberman says.

6. Oysters

This shellfish has a centuries-old folk reputation as a “virility food.” Scientists scoffed – until they discovered that oysters are also very rich in zinc, which is essential for men’s reproductive and sexual function. But if you eat them raw, be sure they’re fresh and from uncontaminated waters, or your evening of get-down could turn nasty.
