These fruits boost the production of nitric oxide which dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow to sex organs. This in turn helps with clitoral and penile stimulation, and vaginal lubrication.

Garlic stimulates circulation through an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase which promotes blood flow in the nether regions.
