Feast on this ultimate guide to the sexiest foods, some new ways of turning each other on, the steamiest sex, and the hottest ways to a heavenly orgasm.

Plump Up Your Sexual Appetite

They say food is the way to a man's heart, but did you know that some munchies can turn him off sex, while others will make him feel like an Energizer bunny?

If you want your man red hot and ready to go, don't feed him too much red meat (animal protein has been linked to the kidneys and decreased sexual desire), dairy or ice cream just before bed. These will have a negative effect on you and your man's sex drive.

For a really steamy evening, try ginger wine. According to aromatherapists and the ancient Romans, ginger is one of the strongest aphrodisiacs around. Add some ginger root to a bottle of dry white wine; let it steep for a couple of weeks, then have a few glasses before your naughty deed.

The top foods to make both of you randy? Seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, miso soup, wholegrain rice (complex carbohydrates which help boost sexual energy) and oysters (zinc) - all of which contain essential minerals and vitamins as well as balanced energy to help you feel more sensual and give you more stamina for love-making.

Getting In The Mood

What happens if you and hubby find it tough to unwind or are just too tired to have sex?

For him: Try a foot massage. According to shiatsu experts, briskly rubbing the soles of the feet, then gently massaging the whole foot will make his erection last longer and increase sexual vitality.

For her: Apply this age-old method passed down from ancient Chinese sex experts. Press the point between the tendons of the big toe and second toe, about two inches up from the webbing of the foot, a dozen times for 10 seconds on each foot. This point, known as the "Supreme Thrust," will give you an instant rush of sexual energy, but do it only after a foot massage - you need to feel relaxed to get the full benefit.

For a special sex boost, give acupressure a go. Light pressure, with the thumb on either side of the spine (make sure you don't put pressure on the spine itself) starting at the bottom and working upwards, will enhance sexual feelings and make you feel sexy all over. When you've finished, briskly rub your hands up and down your partner's body to make him or her feel totally turned on and ready for love.

Feeling uptight? Try meditating. All you have to do is find a quiet place to sit, then visualize all your worries floating away, or imagine them being wrapped up in big plastic bags, then dropped over a bridge.

Another great sex booster is hydrotherapy. Take a scented bath together, or make love in the shower. And if you're really adventurous, try a hot and cold shower before sex - this will boost body circulation and make your skin tingle all over, leaving you ready for sex.

Trigger Your Orgasm

If you've ever had difficulty having an orgasm because you can't stop thinking about work, the bills and the meaning of life, here are some guaranteed ways to get back on track.

According to a study on arousal, tensing your stomach, legs, arms and feet muscles during sex can trigger an orgasm. It is also recommended that during sex, your head can hang off the end of the bed. This increases blood flow to your head and changes your breathing pattern, leaving you feeling more aroused and turned on.

Or try visualization to get in the mood. Summon up mental images of past love-making sessions. What did they sound like? How did they smell? Remind yourself of past pleasures, and then bring those feelings into the present.

Really let go - scream and pant and let all that tension out, then relax into a mind-blowing climax. But make sure the neighbors are out!
