Howcast posted a new video yesterday called "How to Eat for Better Sexual Fitness." It's way better than the Today Show's recent bit on what to eat for better sex (Espresso with chocolate syrup for brekky? Bacon-egg-n-cheese on a roll the size of Texas? A big ol' slab of bleeding red cow flesh? Yeah, all that makes for good sex...if you're a masochist). This video on the how-to website at least covers all the basics, and then some. And, hey, if you need inspiration to eat better, then improved sex as a dangling carrot (mmmm, carrots) is as good as any.

But we're not sure it has to be so complicated: eat a wide variety of whole foods in moderation, cut out the processed/chemical stuff, drink lots of water and avoid asparagus so your pee don't stink. Because if you eat crap, you're going to feel like crap and eventually look like crap, and when you feel and look like crap, then your chances of getting in the mood are pretty, well, crappy.

Can you tell we subscribe to the Skinny Bitch approach of tough love and excessive swearing when it comes to motivational speaking? But don't get us wrong: we don't think you have to be skinny to have a healthy sex life. In fact, not having enough meat on your bones can lower your libido. And we'd never say no to a bit of champagne or chocolate to fan the flames of friskiness. After all, we're not food dominatrixes. So eat well...and then eat your partner up better in bed.
