<\/span>Things You Should Avoid Before Sex<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Avoid Spicy Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you intend to have sex, reduce the amount of spice you consume. Spicy foods, such as curry and peppers, can cause acid reflux symptoms [10]<\/a><\/sup> such as heartburn and a burning sensation in the throat, making it difficult to relax. Rich, heavy foods high in fat, like fried chicken, carbonated drinks and caffeinated beverages, can all cause heartburn because they are more difficult for your body to digest. So, take it easy on your stomach. Bananas, oatmeal, apples and graham crackers are less likely to cause heartburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Avoid Drinking Too Much<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAlcohol is a known risk factor for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)^{[2]<\/sup><\/a>, a condition that makes it difficult to obtain or maintain a strong enough erection. Though a few alcohol-related incidents do not necessarily indicate that you have ED, frequent heavy boozing can lead to long-term problems. Remember there is no safe level of drinking alcohol}^{[1]<\/sup><\/a>, and it should be avoided in the best interest of your health.<\/p>}
