Thai green curry: Could pep up your libido




By Polly Buchanan

NEVER mind the oysters – if you want to boost your libido, tuck into a takeaway.


A Thai green curry is the best bet because it’s packed full of aphrodisiacs, according to a league table of the sexiest dial-a-meals.


Ingredients including cardamom, ginseng, garlic, ginger, basil, lemon grass and asparagus – all found in a typical green curry – are widely believed to enhance the sex drive.


Women in need of some spice should opt for a korma – the Indian dish contains a potent mix of coconut, garlic, chilli, ginger and almonds, all of which are said particularly to improve the female libido.


What if you want to spice up your love life, but you’re not quite so keen on spicing up your dinner?


Not to worry, a pizza can be just as effective. And if it’s topped with the winning combination of tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil and olives – or even with a hint of chilli or spicy meatballs – it ought to perk up any evening in.


The top-10 list of takeaway meals based on the number of aphrodisiac ingredients per meal was compiled by takeaway company Just-Eat.


Marketing chief Ali Ash said: “We wanted to let the public in on this well-kept secret in a bid to heat up their own sex lives. Thai green curry has long been known in the East to provide a boost to sex drive, due to the ingredients, but the British public are far less aware and instead only aware of the common, more expensive aphrodisiacs, such as oysters and caviar.”


Perhaps less familiar is the fourth on the list, seafood laksa – a spicy, coconut-based Malaysian noodle soup made with shrimps.


Mole poblano, which proved to be the fifth sexiest takeaway, is a Mexican sauce that combines chilli, almonds, garlic, tomatoes and chocolate to create a potent Latin aphrodisiac meal.


The distinct sauce, with its hint of endorphin-boosting chocolate, is used to dress chicken or turkey, to form Mexico’s national dish and is popular as a takeaway in some countries.


It seems it certainly pays to keep things spicy.

Sexual confidence has to be sensed rather than seen. The ability to please women sexually is not something you can just talk about. It has to come from you knowing you’ve got what it takes. If you know you’ve got it, she will too, even if it’s totally subconscious. This is the strongest pull you can have on a woman. And the best part is you don’t have to say a thing, it just flows out of you! http://www.viagrathunder.com
