A SQUEEZE of lime can make fellas extra zesty in bed, experts claim.

It found sucking the juice of two limes made the love drug up to four times more potent.
Scientists say the citrus cocktail will also allow fellas to perform within minutes — instead of the usual half-hour minimum.
They claim the lime helps to increase levels of nitric oxide, leading to a better blood flow.
Lead researcher Ayokunle Ademosun, of the Federal University of Technology in Akure, Nigeria, said it is the first study to show citrus fruit can help beat impotence.
He wrote in the Journal of Food Biochemistry that the combo “could be very effective in the management of erectile dysfunction”.

The limy rodents were having sex within 15 seconds, compared to 60-plus for the rest.
The juiced-up rats also got frisky with twice as many females, with blood tests showing a 70 per cent rise in nitric oxide.
Around five million Brits — 40 per cent of older blokes — are affected by erectile dysfunction.
Prof Mike Wyllie, who helped to develop Viagra in the Nineties, said: “On the basis of this, those wanting a boost could drink a carton of juice and then take Viagra.
“Should they wish to speed up the effect they could also crush the tablets.”
