Alcohol
You might want a glass of wine to set the mood. Might even take shots here and there to liven up the night. That’s all fine and good but try not to get wasted.

Coffee
It is true, coffee can help you wake up and feel more energetic. However, too much caffeine raises your cortisol levels, which is the stress hormone.
Stress and sex don’t go together so leave the coffee where it is. Coffee can also make it more difficult for your body to relax, and lower your libido.
Dairy
Cheese and dairy can cause bloating, stomach cramps and burping. If you are intolerant to lactose, the symptoms can still be worse.
Spicy Foods
Spicy foods affects your gastrointestinal system and will trigger acid reflux. This can be uncomfortable and cause pain not to mention can have your breath stinking.
Carbonated Drinks
If you’re sensitive to carbonation, stay away from tonic water and sodas. Carbonated beverages will have you belching and who’s trying to do that all night long?
Onions
This reasoning is simple, onions give you bad breath. Who wants to make love while their partner’s breath stinks? Exactly.
Mint
While mint is great for lip locking, studies show it can put a damper on your desire and drain your energy quickly.
Fruits
Fruits before sex, forget it! Fruit digests really quickly and can lead to cramping, gas, and general discomfort. A few strawberries along with some chocolate is the only fruit you should consider.
