Lucy Shaw in Decanter (24 March 2009) reports that red wine and certain types of chocolate can be good for women’s sex drive
Red wine increases the female libido, research has found.
According to a study carried out by the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in Florence, drinking one to two glasses of red wine a day increases female sexual desire.
The study investigated 789 Italian women aged between 18 and 50.
Drinking red wine not only helps to release inhibitions, but also has a direct effect on sexual activity
Women who drink one to two glasses of wine a day were found to be more sexually active than those who abstain.
Dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidants, has a similarly positive effect on the female libido.
