Watermelon

, The phytonutrient citrulline in watermelons escalates the amount of nitric oxide in the body. This then means that the blood vessels relax and circulation speeds up. Ergo increased arousal.

Oysters

, This ultimate cliché, yes, but it’s famous for a reason. Packed with zinc, oysters speed up the production of testosterone.
