According to research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, a compound in dark chocolate called phenuylethylamine releases the same endorphins triggered by sex and increases the feelings of attaction between two people.

And that means you don’t have to decline that piece of rich chocolate cake after all.

The Journal of Sexual Medicine reports that those who consume at least one cube of dark chocolate daily experience greater desire and better overall sexual function than those who don’t partake.

So go ahead. Indulge.
