Get zealous over zinc. It is known that zinc is tied to sexual function, although its importance to the sex drive has yet to be explained. Without enough zinc, sexual development in children is delayed, and men, too, need zinc to make sperm. Zinc is found abundantly in foods of animal origin, including seafood (especially oysters), meat, poultry and liver, as well as eggs, milk, beans, nuts, and whole grains.
Zinc has many health properties such as prevention of hair loss and cancer. It may help to prevent age-related degenerative effects such as blindness. It is also useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis - as an antioxidant; it can help to detoxify the body. Treats acne and various other skin problems such as cirrhosis. Zinc is particularly important for the healthy function of the reproductive organs and prostrate gland - it is also useful for helping increase male potency and sex drive!
Nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman has a message for all of you Friends of Animals and lovers of green and leafy things out there -- and you're not going to like it. She says if you have a low sex drive, your vegetarian diet may be to blame.
Gittleman says she has nothing against vegetarians, per se (even though she describes the non-meat eaters' skin as "pimply" and "ugly"). Her hypothesis is something she just stumbled on. While working with vegetarian patients who were complaining of being tired all the time, she heard a common complaint: a low sex drive, or as she describes it, feeling "poopy in the bedroom." Sure enough, when she tested them, she found low levels of zinc.
"We have known for years that zinc is an aphrodisiac, that's why you're told to eat oysters, which is a high source of zinc," says Gittleman, a nutritionist and author of "Why Am I Always So Tired?" "What I've seen with women is no sex drive, and the men, they can take it or leave it ... I think their [low libido] is an unexpected side-effect of a vegetarian and vegan diet."

havent read them but those look like articles rather than studies. articles hold very little weight in my book unless the author is very trusted and their motives cannot be called into question.you need studies. someone writing an article say 'we've known for years that zinc helps with libido" is not proof, simply an assumption. old wives tales are often just that.
