Libido Enhancers “An intake of the right kinds of essential fatty acids will help the body produce tissue-like hormones called prostaglandins, a form of eicosanoid, which regulate sexual response,” says Gittleman.
These fatty acids fuel the reproductive organs; without them, male infertility or insufficient sperm production and ejaculate can result.  To heighten sexual response, Gittleman recommends 500 to 3,000 milligrams per day of omega-6 EFA or GLA (gamma linolenic acid), found in evening primrose oil and borage oil (you can add it to a protein smoothie). Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as salmon, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds and eggs enriched with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid), can help you beat the blues and get in the mood. “New research has shown that feeding DHA to bulls improves the structure and function of the sperm,” explains Mary Van Elswyk, Ph.D., vice president of scientific affairs at OmegaTech Inc. in Boulder, Colo. “It’s therefore hypothesized that this information could be transferred to human males, in that the lipid composition of their sperm plays a key role in affecting male fertility.” Currently, there isn’t a Recommended Daily Allowance for omega-3 fatty acids, but both the American Heart Association and the American Dietetic Association advise consuming a half-gram to two grams each day Drew Voight
