Does your partner love eating spicy foods? Or do you simply want to spice things up between the sheets tonight? Well, try feeding him some spicy food. According to a new French study men who love consuming spicy foods tend to be better in bed.
Why?
The study performed at the University of Grenoble tested their theory on 114 men between the age of 18 and 44 and found that these men had higher levels of testosterone and performed better during sex. How this happens is still not known but there have been several studies that have shown the correlation between consuming spicy foods and increased testosterone levels in men. In contrast low testosterone levels have been associated with lethargy and a depressive mood. Called ‘Some Like It Hot’, the study appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Physiology and Behaviour.
