Neurologist Daniel Amen claims that healthy brain can improve your sex life. The brain are the largest and the most sensitive organ in our organism and it is the brain that can help you to improve your sex life and bring you closer to your partner.

When we are in a relationship long enough, attraction slowly declines, and we have to use our brain to try and rekindle the attraction.

With feet massage and buying shoes, claims Dr. Amen. There are certain points on our feet which stimulate a pleasant feeling if we massage them, as well as awake our sexual organs. The neurologist says that the words: "Go with me to buy new shoes", gives you a signal to go on a hot date and not only to buy new shoes. A dose of dopamine is also increased if you do something crazy once in a while, especially if you make your partner happy with something. The flow of chemistry in the body increases the chance for orgasm in men, while women are already turned on by caressing, holding hands and romantic gestures...
