Is alcohol a real Aphrodisiac ?

Several liquors developed in old monasteries have been attributed aphrodisiac effects. Chartreuse (especially the green variety) and Benedictine are known to increase libido. Also in Guadalajara, Mexico, Crme de Damiana is produced from the allegedly aphrodisiacal plant Turnera diffusa. This world-renowned drink is supposed to increase libido and counteract male impotence.

Other liquors have the normal effects of relieving shyness and inhibitions. Most liquor has considerably high levels of alcohol. Since we all know what tends to happen when a man drinks too much -- very poor performance in bed -- it is important to control how much liquor is consumed.

Port wine is said to be one of the most aphrodisiac alcoholic beverages around. This drink, which originated in Portugal, is said to promote lovemaking especially when served with strawberries. Select white port wine instead of the red variety, because it appears to have a more aphrodisiac properties.

Wine is a classic aphrodisiac, especially when suitably spiced. For instance, red Burgundy wine mixed with ginger, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and sugar is known as Hippocras' Aphrodisiac . Aside from being a potent aphrodisiac, wine is also known for being a good mood setter.

However, it is important to control how much of it is consumed. Watch out because consuming excess amounts of wine can lead to drowsiness, which is the last thing you want when trying to enhance a sexual mood.

Please moderate your drinking and have a good time!
