If you find you are more eager to sleep than have sex, then your sex drive may need a booster shot.

And all it takes is to add a few key foods into your diet and you will put the sizzle back into your sex life and reconnect with your sensuality.

“Diet profoundly affects our hormones and sexual appetite,” Dr. Laurie Steelsmith, the author of “Great Sex, Naturally” (Hay House), tells us. “Whether you’re having difficulty reaching orgasm or just want to increase desire, there’s food for that.”

See five foods that can boost your sex drive.

Pomegranates

If Viagra were fruit, it would be a pomegranate. “They help support blood vessels and circulation for both men and women,” Steelsmith says. “This means better circulation to sexual ¬organs and, consequently, better ¬orgasms.”

Broccoli

This cruciferous vegetable is high in indole-3-carbinol, which helps to break down and regulate estrogen,” Steelsmith notes. “Having proper levels of the hormone promotes a strong libido.” Too much estrogen can make men and women feel crabby and tired.

Pumpkin seeds

While pumpkin seeds might not be tops on your diet, you’ll want to add them after learning they can spice up things between the sheets. “They contain L-tryptophan — a precursor to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that can affect your sexual health,” says Steelsmith. “Add them to your salads, trail mixes and cereals.”

Blueberries

“Blueberries [are] loaded with a sugar called D-mannose, which supports the walls of [the] blood vessels of your sexual organs,” says Steelsmith. “They also help prevent urinary tract infections, a major libido breaker.”

Chocolate

There may be a scientific reason chocolate helps to set the mood. “[It’s] one of those aphrodisiac-like foods,” says Steelsmith. “It has PEA [or phenethylamine], which is the chemical that is released when you fall in love, and your brain uses it when you have an orgasm.” Just make sure you go for dark chocolate — not the milky stuff — as it has a higher concentration of PEA.
