Between 30 and 40 per cent of men are believed to suffer from the frustrating condition called premature or rapid ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is said to be occurring when a lack of ejaculatory control interferes with sexual or emotional well-being in one or both partners.

A previous research from scientists in The Netherlands had linked premature ejaculation to a specific gene that helps regulate serotonin. The latest research has now confirmed a genetic link to premature ejaculation with stronger clinical evidence. During this research project, more than three thousand men—all pairs of male twins and their older or younger brothers were interviewed about the first time they had sex. Most of the persons surveyed revealed that they had suffered from erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation at their first sexual encounter.

Erectile dysfunction is already being treated successfully by using oral medication like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, sex therapy, vacuum devices and penile injections. Researchers believe that the increasing evidence for a genetic cause of premature ejaculation opens the way for the development of new drug treatments, something that many men might benefit from.

Bananas

Bananas contain an enzyme Bromelain which is important for sexual health and therefore are extremely helpful for boosting male libido. You also get B vitamins from bananas which are really helpful in increasing sex hormones and body’s energy levels.

Basil

Basil is used for garnishing and makes your food look very good but this tasty herb also brings a sense of wellbeing, which allows one to experience sexual bliss. Use Basil and experience increased circulation, sex drive stimulation and improved fertility.

Garlic

Garlic is a very effective aphrodisiac. Garlic contains a potent ingredient called allicin that increases blood flow to the sexual organs and improves libido. A recent research has shown that garlic can be a dietary equivalent of Viagra. Make sure you can timely arrange some breath mint before giving garlic a try or your partner might get put off.

Maca

Maca can improve performance and alleviate impotency. It increases sperm count and testosterone levels in men. It makes people desire sex more frequently, especially women.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain zinc, which is vital for testosterone production in men. A deficiency can make a woman completely lose her sex drive. These yummy seeds are  a rich source of omega-3, which is vital to overall sexual wellbeing.

Watermelon

It has recently been shown by scientists that eating watermelon may have similar effects as Viagra. Watermelon contains citrulline and arginine content which produces nitric, a compound that helps relax the body’s blood vessels. This is exactly the same how Viagra works.

Chillies

Chillies can spice up your sex life too because of the capsaicin, which is the substance that gives chillies their heat, releases endorphins and other hormones necessary for a spicy sex life.
