Your metabolism\u2019s still high, you can survive on <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-coffee-roasters-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coffee<\/a> and little <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/how-to-fall-asleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sleep<\/a>, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/how-to-increase-sex-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex drive<\/a> is through the roof. Things start getting shaky once you enter your next decade. You\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/stress-weight-gain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gaining weight<\/a>, you need naps to get through the day, and your libido\u2026 well, it\u2019s all downhill from there. Research has shown that a man\u2019s sex drive slowly decreases from age 35, though it may start earlier for some dudes.<\/p>\n<p>The internet lists myriad ways to increase your libido, ranging from getting enough sleep, cutting out smoking, and reducing alcohol, to trying out natural remedies such as garlic and ginkgo biloba or eating libido-enhancing foods like figs, bananas, and red meat.<\/p>\n<p>While mindlessly scrolling through Twitter one day, I came across a tweet claiming that bathing your genitals in chamomile tea has a powerful aphrodisiac effect. \u201cDon\u2019t underestimate the potency of a well-steeped cup of chamomile tea,\u201d it said. I asked if this method worked for men but didn\u2019t receive a response. So, I did my research. While some websites mentioned it, they didn\u2019t elaborate much on its sexual benefits; neither did they say I should wash my parts with tea.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, I was curious to find out, so I decided to try it out once a day for a month \u2013 yes, I was that ambitious. My editor suggested testing other unconventional ways to increase my sex drive and report my findings afterwards. Armed with a stash of chamomile teabags and encouragement from a friend, I proceeded with my (mis)adventure.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 1: I almost forgot about it<\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.tenor.com\/6xn539lR-AMAAAAC\/mulan-tea.gif\" alt=\"Mulan pouring tea\" width=\"900\" height=\"542\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/542;\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Tenor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since it slipped my mind, I started with a slight delay. The plan: boil water every night, steep a teabag, cool it to room temperature, and do the genital washing. I didn\u2019t want to scald my ding-dong and kill my sex drive for the foreseeable future. I brought my first cup of potential sex booster to the bathroom, poured it over my gonads, and showered. It was a strange sensation, but all in the name of \u201cinvestigative journalism\u201d, right?<\/p>\n<p>For the next few days, I decided to drink half the tea and use the remainder in my established ritual. I didn\u2019t want to waste the brew, and the tweet didn\u2019t say I couldn\u2019t drink it. Wrong move \u2013 I felt off hours after every drink, like I was mentally spaced out. But hey, at least it helped with my sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 2: I contemplated killing the experiment<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279519\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279519 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-isil-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Unconventional ways to increase sex drive | Chamomile tea\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-isil-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-isil-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-isil-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: I\u015f\u0131l via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019s the experiment going?\u201d my friend asked. It was only the second week, but I already felt like giving up. I shared what went down (literally and figuratively); she told me to cut the exercise if I still felt off. (I refused, of course, for journalistic integrity.) She suggested measuring my privates to see whether the method might\u2019ve, ahem, lengthened it. I logged the suggestion into my brain, though I never did it.<\/p>\n<p>Nearing this week\u2019s end, I stopped drinking the chamomile tea and just used the mixture for cleansing purposes. Even though I was getting good rest because of it, drinking tea wasn\u2019t helpful for me. On the plus side, I noticed heartening results on some mornings. Hey, maybe it was working\u2026 or I was just being hopeful. As long as it wasn&#8217;t a placebo effect.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 3: I introduced a new tea into the ritual<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279524\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279524\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279524 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-korean-red-ginseng-tea-sufyan-900x643.png\" alt=\"Unconventional ways to increase sex drive | Korean red ginseng tea\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-korean-red-ginseng-tea-sufyan-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-korean-red-ginseng-tea-sufyan-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-korean-red-ginseng-tea-sufyan.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tasteless Korean red ginseng tea. Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By now, I was counting down the days. I grew impatient waiting for the water to boil and the mixture to cool down. The end was nigh; I just needed to persevere so that I could write about my experience. At the same time, it became part of my nightly \u2018self-care\u2019 routine: make a cup of chamomile tea, wash my bits and shower. TBH, I was doubtful it worked at all. I didn\u2019t notice any significant changes in my sex drive.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that Korean red ginseng also helps boost your sex drive. My friend passed me a few sachets of red ginseng tea, so I brewed a cup to drink before my chamomile tea rite. Verdict: it was tasteless. Granted, I didn\u2019t add sugar, so that was probably my fault. It&#8217;s unfortunate I didn\u2019t get to try the red ginseng tea with sugar or milk, though I was secretly glad I didn\u2019t have to. My tongue and throat thanked me.<\/p>\n<h3>Week 4: I was glad it was over<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279525\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279525 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-maca-root-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Unconventional ways to increase sex drive | Maca root\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-maca-root-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-maca-root-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-maca-root.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is what maca root looks like.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I ended the month-long experiment with surprisingly renewed vigour. I switched things up by doing the routine earlier on some days and also resumed drinking half the tea. On the last day, I decided to dunk my dong into the cup first (sorry, mum and dad) before pouring everything down my genitalia. I felt accomplished, and yes, I thoroughly washed the cup afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the week, I also consumed some maca root, a vegetable native to Peru. It really improved my libido and gave me more energy for the horizontal mambo. Now, this might be considered cheating since I\u2019ve tried and tested this method before, but cut me some slack \u2013 I needed to end this &#8220;sexual adventure&#8221; on a good note.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion? Don\u2019t bother with tea<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279526\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279526\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279526 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-chamomile-korean-red-ginseng-teas-sufyan-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Unconventional ways to increase sex drive | Chamomile and Korean red ginseng teas\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-chamomile-korean-red-ginseng-teas-sufyan-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-chamomile-korean-red-ginseng-teas-sufyan-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/unconventional-ways-increase-sex-drive-chamomile-korean-red-ginseng-teas-sufyan.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I can\u2019t look at tea the same way again. Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I survived the four weeks, which was a massive relief. Was it that bad? Not exactly, though I constantly needed to remind myself to prepare the mixture. I felt terrible wasting food, which was why I initially chose to drink half of it. While that didn\u2019t help my case, at least now I know chamomile tea helps me sleep better.<\/p>\n<p>Final verdict: it\u2019s not worth a try. This unconventional method isn\u2019t proven to increase your sex drive, so you\u2019re better off just drinking it instead of spilling the tea. Between the Korean red ginseng and maca root, you\u2019ll have better luck consuming the latter. However, exercise precautions before taking it, as maca root contains side effects including headache, heartburn, upset stomach, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-acne-treatments-in-singapore-for-spots-acne-pimples-and-blemishes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acne<\/a> breakout. Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, a waning sex drive is normal. If you\u2019re concerned about it, I suggest visiting a medical professional for guidance. However, if you\u2019re keen on trying out aphrodisiacs, stick to the common ones such as <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/artisanal-chocolates-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chocolates<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/oyster-bars-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oysters<\/a>. At least they\u2019re prepared beforehand \u2013 you just have to eat them.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you tried other unconventional ways to increase your sex drive?
