Between anxiety, psychological tension, and the search for medications, drugs, and foods to strengthen and enhance performance, ability, and sexual power, there are many scientific and medical facts that require attention. Enhancing your sexual life and its safety is not always linked to therapeutic matters or medications, and the solution may be easy and within your reach, but you are looking for what is difficult.
Having sexual ability and strength that you are satisfied with is not only related to food or taking nutritional supplements. The most important thing is that you have a good psychological state, and that there be harmony, agreement, consistency and harmony between the spouses.
Dr. Hossam Hosni Awad, Professor of Andrology, Reproduction and Male Infertility at Kasr Al-Aini Faculty of Medicine at Cairo University, confirms that until now, it has not been scientifically or medically proven that there is anything that raises the level of sexual desire between spouses more than a kind word and a good social relationship between them, because it avoids stress and improves their sexual mood.
He stressed that harmony and quality in the sexual relationship depend on respect, mutual trust, and enhancing the feeling of security between spouses, while spreading the spirit of politeness and taste, all of which enhance sexual desire.
Dr. Hossam stressed that avoiding tension and narrowing the space for disagreements strengthens the sexual relationship between spouses, and added that “it is not logical to be in social, material, and economic disagreements and tensions all day long, and at the end of the night, ask for a good sexual relationship.”
He believes that husbands are not machines that can be managed with the push of a button. They are, “in the end, human beings, and the sexual relationship at the end of the night is the result of the accumulations of the whole day. If you deal well with your wife (or husband) throughout the day, you will eventually find a healthy and healthy sexual relationship and desire.”
A recipe that increases desire
Regarding the most common things that increase sexual desire between spouses and improve their mood, Dr. Hossam Hosni Awad says that most of these things are:
- Harmony and coordination between spouses.
- Mutual love.
- Enhancing a sense of security and positive feelings.
- Spouses’ constant encouragement of each other.
- Their keenness to praise each other between themselves and in front of others.
- Couples improve their social and family relationships.
- Avoid tension and disagreements.

He stressed that constant disagreements and tensions between spouses often lead to sexual frigidity, after which they begin to seek treatment, medical examinations, and taking medications to treat weakness and lack of sexual desire.
He advises couples to improve their social relationships first before they look for medications to improve their sexual relationships, and stresses that the psychological factor is very important to improve and enhance desire and strengthen sexual performance.
Healthy sex with healthy eating
Dr. Hossam Hosni Awad stressed that, so far, it has not been scientifically or medically proven that there is a relationship between specific foods and enhancing desire and enhancing sexual performance, and that everything that is being circulated are the legacies, customs and traditions of peoples that have not been scientifically or medically confirmed yet.
He pointed out that, as is the case in Egypt – for example – in the link between eating trotters, fish and shrimp and enhancing and strengthening sexual desire, there are also inherited customs and foods of other peoples. There are peoples who eat some insects after grinding them under the pretext of strengthening and enhancing sexual performance, as is the case with “Spanish Fly” foods.
He explained that correct and proper eating that contains the minerals and vitamins that the body needs is the basis of good health in general, and would also contribute to enhancing sexual desire and ability.

Regarding some habits and their positive or negative impact on performance, ability and sexual desire, Dr. Hossam says that there are habits that negatively affect sexual desire and performance, most notably the habit of smoking and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Helpful supplements and harmful medications
Regarding medications and their role in improving the sexual relationship between spouses, Dr. Hossam says that medications are divided into two types: nutritional supplements, and a known medicine for a known disease.
As for nutritional supplements, there are many types, most of which are beneficial to humans, and many doctors use them in their prescriptions to treat weak sexual desire.
He mentions herbal supplements, for example, the “Hasakah” plant and “Tongkat Ali”, which are plants that are said to raise the level of male hormones, and thus increase sexual desire in men and women, but so far this statement is not 100% scientifically proven.
Although the relationship between supplements and enhancing and improving sexual desire has not been scientifically proven, Dr. Hossam says, this does not prevent the existence of some nutritional supplements that can be taken in the form of medicine or focused on being consumed in certain foods, such as the amino acid “LRG”, which is available in the form of tablets, and in large quantities for very simple needs that people have access to, such as white pulp.

Diabetes and blood pressure medications
As for the known medications that treat known diseases, according to Dr. Hossam, many of them are useful in improving desire and enhancing ability, such as medications that treat diabetes, because it is a disease that weakens sexual desire in those affected by it, and controlling the rates and levels of sugar in the patient’s blood is very important to enhance his sexual desire.
There are other medications that weaken desire and negatively affect sexual ability, most notably medications for psychological and neurological diseases, whether they are tranquilizers, tranquilizers, or antidepressants and antihysterics, as well as blood pressure medications, most of which lead to sexual problems in men and women.
The professor of andrology and male infertility warned that some medications prescribed to enhance sexual ability may have serious symptoms, and may lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, or a problem in the heart muscle, and must be used under the supervision of a doctor.
