Aphrodisiacs or foods to boost sexual vigor can take your love life to a whole new level both psychologically and physically.
Researcher Elisabet Jerlhag said that it is already known that ghrelin affects the reward mechanisms that are triggered by food, alcohol and other addictive drugs and their study now shows for the first time that ghrelin also plays a role in natural reward mechanisms like sex.
