People resort to using aphrodisiacs to \u201cspice things up\u201d *wink wink* (Yes, literally spice it up because chilies are on the list of <\/span><b>food aphrodisiac<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-potency\">2. Potency<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ladies, if your man doesn\u2019t stiffen up (in that one way), go ahead and try using or suggesting an aphrodisiac. They are the <\/span><b>best foods to get you in the mood<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to boost stamina, lubrication and sometimes, even endurance.
