Sexual chocolate is a type of chocolate that contains aphrodisiac ingredients, which are believed to increase sexual desire, improve mood, or enhance sexual performance. Here is an explanation of how it works:
1. Chocolate itself: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, contains substances like phenylethylamine and tryptophan. Phenylethylamine is a chemical found naturally in the brain and is associated with feelings of happiness and love. Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that improves mood.
2. Cocoa: Cocoa contains theobromine and caffeine, which can have mild stimulating effects, increasing energy and a sense of well-being.
3. Aphrodisiac ingredients: Sexual chocolate often contains additional components that have aphrodisiac properties. Some of the commonly used ones are:
- Maca: The maca root is considered a powerful aphrodisiac and adaptogen that can increase energy, endurance, and sexual desire.
- True Ginseng: It is among the most medicinal plants with many unique properties and is considered the strongest adaptogen, supports sexual desire and promotes erection.
- Ashwagandha: It is among the most medicinal plants with many unique properties and is considered the strongest adaptogen, supports sexual desire and promotes erection.
4. Other herbs and spices: Many other ingredients, such as ginseng, saffron, or cayenne pepper, can be added to sexual chocolate for their purported stimulating and aphrodisiac effects.
How do these ingredients work?
- Mood improvement: Chocolate and many aphrodisiac ingredients can improve mood by promoting the production of endorphins and serotonin.
- Energy boost: Caffeine and theobromine from chocolate, along with adaptogenic herbs like maca, can increase energy levels, which may enhance sexual desire.
- Improvement of blood circulation: Ingredients like ginkgo biloba can improve blood flow, which is important for sexual performance.
- Hormonal balance: Some herbs may support hormonal balance, which can also contribute to an increase in sexual desire.
Important notes
- Scientific evidence: The effectiveness of many aphrodisiac ingredients is supported only by limited scientific evidence. Many of the claims are based on traditional use and anecdotal evidence.
- Individual response: Effects can be individual, and what works for one person may not have the same effect on another.
- Safety: Before consuming any products with aphrodisiac ingredients, individuals with chronic health issues or those taking medication should consult their doctor.
