We\u2019ve known for centuries that olive oil can help reduce morbidity and prevent the growth of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and cancer diseases, but how does it affect us in terms of sexual wellness?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bigger, Long-Lasting Erections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oil does wonders for blood vessels and circulation, and there are many blood vessels within the male pelvic region that become engorged during arousal. Not only can it help with erectile dysfunction, it can also help you stay hard. That\u2019s one way to extend the olive branch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increases Stamina and Intensifies Orgasms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oil is packed with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which not only help with blood flow, but increased hormone production as well. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26178726\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that healthy fats balanced the hormones that regulate appetite and digestion. While these aren\u2019t the direct hormones that are typically associated with sex (estrogen and progesterone), a balance in overall health does prolong our intimate vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramps Up Sex Drive<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and keeps the organs running smoothly along with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/hot-spots-erogenous-zones-women\/\">erogenous zones<\/a> healthily lubricated. It\u2019s sexy to the touch, which is why the Greeks, Romans and ancient Egyptians did not limit the use of olive oil to the kitchen. Some people even use it as lube for foreplay and non-penetrative sex and it\u2019s also one of the healthiest and most natural forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/pro-tips-for-sex-massage\/\">massage<\/a> oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you go dowsing olive oil on your meals and body, let\u2019s discuss <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a rule of thumb, olive oil should be consumed within one year of harvest. Premium olive oil brands like ed\u2019o produce a very limited series of bottles by harvesting olives only at their most optimal maturity level, which happens just one week a year, to ensure the lowest acidity level and highest organoleptic properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31352 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product-1024x683.png\" alt=\"olive oil aphrodisiac\" width=\"618\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/edo-olive-oil-product.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oil may not age like fine wine, but it does share some characteristics: both are the pure juice of fruit, both have unique characteristics based on climate and soil and both can pair different foods based on their organoleptic properties. Overall, they contribute to a healthier and more flavorful life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gastronomic experience of ed&#8217;o Olive Oil comes in two flavors\u2014the ed\u2019o PURE white bottle and the ed\u2019o Organic black bottle. Ed\u2019o PURE is highly aromatic, fruity and has notes of green grass, nuts, tomato and banana. It pairs well with chocolate, fruit, or any kind of salad and veggies. Ed\u2019o Organic is moderately intense with a slightly bitter and peppery aftertaste. It has notes of green grass, nuts, tomato and artichoke, and pairs well with seafood, red meat or anything spicy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our favorite part of the design of this collection?
