When I read that there is folklore that asparagus, my absolute favorite vegetable, was an aphrodisiac, I thought, oh well, all that much more reason to love it!  The funny thing too is that I had just gotten back from the grocery store and picked up six bags of Hanover farms asparagus tips excitedly because they were on sale for about fifty cents less per bag than what they usually are.  By the way, if you can get asparagus fresh, do it now, and it may be an even better libido booster when it’s fresh since all those natural chemicals are more potent.

It’s in season right now and all the local farms are harvesting it, and it really is an amazing difference how much better it tastes when it’s fresh.  You can just throw it on the grils and brush it with some olive oil when it’s fresh and you’re good to go.

So, what’s the one thing that everyone does know about asparagus?  Well, there’s that dubious distinction asparagus has for making your pee smell like sewage.  Of course, that one always makes everyone laugh, but most people have never heard that this delicate veggie can also rev them up for the bedroom.  And why is it that asparagus is a supposed aphrodisiac for women and men exactly?

I mean, other than it’s somewhat phalic shape getting women in a frenzy a little and acting as a specific female sexual enhancement booster, I don’t see any immediate answers jumping out at me, so I decided to go searching a little to find some answers why this green veggie may give you a little more oomph in the bedroom, or at least the desire to get you there.  However, there are some natural chemical properties that make asparagus a contender for one of the better (and better tasting I might add) options to naturally boost your libido.

Here’s the vitamin that asparagus contains a lot of that you can get your sexual kick from.  It’s vitamin E, believe it or not . Vitamin E wasn’t the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of reasons why asparagus might be a great natural aphrodisiac though, to be honest.

I thought it would be something that increased blood flow.  But what vitamin E does do is encourage the production and output of sex hormones, which instantly increases the sex drive.  Hence, the more asparagus you eat, the more randy you might feel after dinner.  Just ignore your stinky urine and enjoy what it can do for your love life!
