Libido – How Chilli No. 5 Increases your Sex Drive

What does a man need to have sex?

First, you need to get sexually aroused, then your brain warns the penis to get ready. You produce hormones. Then muscles and blood vessels have to relax so blood can flow into the penis. Blood needs to pump easily into the blood vessels. The erection is the penis enlarging with the blood. It needs to stay enlarged and hard for the duration.

What are the complications for men achieving an erection?

Any “clogging of blood vessels is one of the key causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). The blood vessels aren’t wide enough or healthy enough to push blood into the penis to create a hard erection.” says Dr. Tracy Gapin in her article. “But if your blood vessels are tight or clogged, blood can’t flow through the body properly. The blood can’t find its way to the penis and an erection can’t occur.”

How do chillis help with sex🌶 and maintaining an erection – the science bit

Chillis contain capsaicin which acts as a blood thinner or a vasodilator – “This helps unclog the arteries and allows blood to flow more easily.”

The report from the Science Publishing Group: “Effects of capsaicin on coagulation: Will this be the new blood thinner” concludes that “capsaicin has antithrombotic effects” and “addition of capsicum to meals may achieve the required thromboprophylaxis”. Other studies show “Capsaicin promotes blood flow to tissues by lowering blood pressure and stimulating the release of nitric oxide and other vasodilators — or compounds that help expand your blood vessels“.

Published in Cell Metabolism, and sourced from Nutrients America, we understand the blood vessel receptor TRPV1 is stimulated by capsaicin (found in chilli peppers) which “promotes Nitric Oxide release in the blood and lowers blood pressure.”

This is what men need to have better sex.

OK we are hard, but how does chilli increase libido?

Chillis not only help with blood flow to the penis to maintain an erection but also get you in the mood for sex🌶. Testosterone is vital in the build-up to sex and to get the man in the mood. Chillis, and hot sauce, help boost testosterone.

“Researchers saw a clear correlation between higher hot sauce usage and higher levels of testosterone levels found in the saliva of the men. In other words, men with greater testosterone levels tended to douse their food with more hot sauce.” This was from Time.

Chillis also boost endorphins feel-good hormones which make you happy, less stressed, and definitely up for intercourse. Dopamine is the pleasure hormone. Chillis also boost dopamine.

“The neurotransmitter dopamine is produced in response to sexual stimulation, and thanks to dopamine, we really do feel enjoyment. In addition, dopamine is not only connected with sex, but also with delicious food, learning something new, music, gambling, and taking drugs.

Arousal causes an output of nitrogen oxide and noradrenaline. These substances increase blood to our genitalia to initiate an erection, lubrication, and the enlargement of labia.” Read more here.
