It’s too early for fireworks but a recent at the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University, College Station has found that watermelons contain greater amounts of amino acids called citrulline which relaxes and dilates blood vessels, quite akin to Viagra and other drugs used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED).
"We have known that watermelon has citrulline," says Bhimu Patil, PHD, Director of the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University, College Station. Until recently, he tells WebMD, scientists thought most of the citrulline was in the watermelon rind. "Watermelon has more citrulline in the edible part than previously believed," he says.
But how much watermelon needs to be consumed still remains an issue. Till then, keep your fingers crossed.

Watermelon — Watermelon is rich with citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve blood flow to the heart and genitalia, as well as to the rest of the body.
Citrulline is highly effective at relaxing blood vessels, producing an effect similar to drugs like Viagra. Result: Increased blood flow to your sexual organs.
So theirs no reason why it can't help boost our libido.
