Unfortunately: people who eat a lot of cheese have a more moderate sex life

A cheese board is really all you need for your weekend, right? Friends around, a glass of wine, and gulping down that dripping brie.

But yes, cheese isn't so great for your sex life, as scientific research shows. This has everything to do with the fact that most cheeses are made from cow's milk. And that cow's milk can throw your hormones out of balance, causing your libido to drop significantly. You simply produce less estrogen when you consume a lot of cow's milk, which means your body thinks less about a cozy romp. The same goes for men: they produce less testosterone when they eat a lot of cheese, resulting in a less flourishing penis.

What else should you avoid if you want some action in the taxi?
– Alcohol
– Strawberries
– Fatty foods
– Sugar
– Caffeine
– Spices like nutmeg and cloves
– Sweet potatoes and watermelon
– Brazil nuts and almonds

We all go through turbulent phases where sometimes we really want to get it on and sometimes we just prefer to lie down and nap rather than contort ourselves into a split. Can you eat something that actually works to boost your libido a bit? Yes. Multiple studies have shown that eating chocolate leads to the release of phenylethylamine (a natural substance produced when people are in love) and serotonin. Besides the stimulating effect of these substances, they also create an uplifting mood. So you feel happier, and as a result, you're also quicker in the dirty mood.

And although alcohol isn't generally recommended as the best pick-me-up we all know about the drunken wild parties. So if you do want to pour a glass... You can definitely have a glass of red; it wouldn't be that bad for your sex life. Just don't forget to dive into bed with your lover on time. Cheers to that., Insider.
