Eat chocolate gives us a lot of pleasure and it is because chocolate has chemical compounds such as phenylethylamine and tryptophan, which has the ability to improve sexual arousal, therefore it has been directly related to sexual activities, being considered a powerful aphrodisiac or sexual stimulant, but natural.
The use of chocolate as a sexual arousal enhancer has been known since ancient times, for example it is known that the Emperor Moctezuma of the Aztecs, consumed excessive amounts of grains of cocoa to enhance sexual passion with his wife, being the first historical record that relates the consumption of cocoa with sexual arousal.
In 2004, researchers from a hospital in Milan, Italy conducted a study with 200 women to determine the relationship between chocolate consumption and its feelings of sexual satisfaction.
The results obtained are quite impressive as women who ate chocolate every day reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction and women with low libido increased sexual arousal after eating chocolate.
Today scientists believe that chocolate has some unique characteristics like natural aphrodisiac or enhancer of sexual arousal, a condition attributed to tryptophan and phenylethylalamineAccording NYTimes.
Experts explain that tryptophan is a compound that serves to build the Serotonin (a chemical in the brain that is involved in sexual arousal). While which la phenylethylalamine it is a stimulant related to amphetamines (a chemical that is released in the brain when someone is in love, for example).
