Method 2 of 3: Natural Remedies

   Exercise regularly. Working out activates a man's testosterone production. Any kind of exercise helps. Instead of lifting weights, take a swim or play a game of basketball.

   Eat foods that may increase libido. Oysters, chocolate, figs, chili peppers, avocado and eggs have all been rumored to help put you in the mood. While the science might be inconclusive, it's worth trying.
