A Cohort Study published in 2023 in the journal The Journal of Sex Research found that Ginger consumption could counteract the negative influence of disgust, induced by sexual body fluids, on sexual arousal in individuals. The researchers conducted an experiment involving 247 participants, who were either given ginger or placebo pills. Participants were then required to complete tasks involving either sexual body fluids or neutral fluids. After completing their tasks, the participants were shown and asked to respond to questions about erotic stimuli which consisted of either nude or semi-nude pictures of individuals of the opposite sex. This study showed that tasks involving sexual body fluids caused disgust. This feeling of disgust led to decreased sexual arousal in women. Interestingly, the consumption of ginger was found to counteract the inhibiting effect of disgust on sexual arousal. Additionally, the disgust caused by the sexual body fluids tasks also increased disgust towards subsequent erotic stimuli. However, ginger consumption was found to increase sexual arousal towards the erotic stimuli in both men and women who had performed the neutral fluids tasks.

A Cohort Study published in 2021 in the journal Cureus Journal of Medical Science found that Women who eat chocolate more frequently tend to express less interest in sex, suggesting a potential connection between chocolate consumption and sexual interest. The study involved 723 adults from Southern California, both men and women over 20 years old. Participants provided information about how often they ate chocolate per week and rated their interest in sex on a scale from 0 to 10. The researchers used regression analysis, adjusting for potential factors that might influence the results, to explore the relationship between chocolate consumption frequency and sex interest. They also examined differences based on gender and age. The overall findings indicated that individuals who consumed chocolate more frequently reported lower interest in sex. This relationship was particularly strong in women, where chocolate consumption frequency emerged as the most influential predictor of sex interest. Surprisingly, the trend was not observed in men, although a slight connection was noted in younger men. The study suggests that the common idea of chocolate substituting for or satisfying the need for sex in women might explain the observed patterns.
