There’s no guarantee that any one food will prolong your performance in the bedroom. However there is reason to believe that shrimp might be of assistance in this department. Shrimp contains an amino acid that you can’t get from a lot of foods called argenine. Argenine, also called L-argenine is linked with blood flow and as such is associated with helping in a man’s ability to have an erection. And, although this benefit of argenine won’t help you sustain a horizontal cha cha, argenine is also associated with male fertility as it is known to improve sperm motility.
