Top Post-Sex Food for Millennials? Pizza and Tacos

According to a recent Cosmopolitan article, single millennials prefer pizza for a late-night post-hookup snack. Tacos landed the coveted runner-up spot.

There’s certainly no denying that pizza and tacos make delicious post-activity meals, regardless of the activity or time of day. But did you know that if you’re reaching for dairy- or meat-based versions of these dishes, you may be hindering your sexual performance? It’s true. Artery-clogging meat and dairy cheese can seriously affect what happens—or doesn’t happen—in the bedroom.

There’s nothing sexy about animal suffering and clogged arteries. The cholesterol in meat, eggs, and dairy “products” causes hardening of the arteries and slows the flow of blood to all the body’s organs, not just the heart.

But don’t fret—we have you covered. Whether you’re craving takeout or delivery—or even if you’re up for flaunting your kitchen skills in addition to your bedroom talents—these vegan pizza and taco options will fill you up while still leaving you and your partner ready for round two … and maybe three or four.

For Those Reaching for Post-Hookup Pizza

If you’re feeling a bit lazy or don’t want to waste much time in the kitchen, consider delivery. Check out the list below to learn how to make your delivery order vegan:

Papa John’s

Domino’s

• Order the thin crust (the others aren’t vegan) and regular sauce.

If you want to avoid heating up the kitchen—since, with any luck, things are heating up enough in the bedroom—and you’re up for a late-night taco run, consider one of the following vegan options:

Taco Bell

• With a quick request of “no cheese, no sour cream, no meat, and add beans,” you can make almost any order vegan. Learn how to veganize Crunchwraps, bean burritos, Cinnamon Twists, 7 Layer Burritos, and other menu items by checking out our guide to ordering vegan at Taco Bell.

Chipotle

• This chain offers Sofritas—organic tofu braised with peppers and spices—which you can order in your taco, burrito, or bowl. Check out all the ways to eat vegan at Chipotle.

Del Taco

• If you opt for The Del Taco (soft or crunchy), order it with beans instead of meat and ask for it without cheese. Or order the Value Taco, substitute beans for beef, say “no cheese,” and top it with pico de gallo, green salsa, or any of Del’s hot sauces. And don’t forget to add avocado for around 30 cents a slice. The rice at Del Taco is now vegan and some stores even carry vegan Beyond Meat crumbles.

If you’re feeling extra-lazy (no judgment), consider stocking your freezer with StarLite Cuisine Rolled Tacos or Carla Lee’s NutTacos. They’ll be ready in minutes and will give you the sustenance you need without weighing you down.

If you’re unconvinced, check out this recent NPR article, which says that women favor the scent of men who eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables—just one more reason to go vegan!
