Sex and Food
Chapter 2
Eggs are another sexy food equated with fertility, and therefore,
by association thought to be an aphrodisiac. An egg is an ovum,
which is a sex cell after all. Fish eggs, or caviar has a special
reputation as an aphrodisiac for several reasons. A very precious
food originating from the sea, caviar is associated with Aphrodite,
from which the word aphrodisiac is derived. Imported Beluga caviar,
the best and most expensive kind, when fed to your lover from the
traditional carved bone spoon, and sluiced down with iced vodka
or chilled champagne, is bound to confirm its age old reputation.
I highly recommend it if you have the means. Less expensive versions
of both the eggs, and the bubbles are widely available and apt to
perform just as nicely when served 'a la boudoir.'
While you are already down at the local fish monger's, why not
pick up a few dozen oysters. Oysters are one of the all time classic
seduction foods and are rich in zinc, which is important for maintaining
a healthy sperm count. The great lover Casanova allegedly ate fifty
of them each morning, from between the breasts of his lover. "Ah,
waiter? On second thought, skip the bacon and two. I think I'll
have what that guy is having instead."
Ripe fruit of all kinds has built in sex-ap-peel. A really ripe
peach shared with a lover is a profoundly satisfying event, best
attempted with minimal clothing. A fresh fig, still warm from the
sun, peeled open and eaten raw is a truly erotic experience a man
can especially appreciate, even on his own. The deep red fruit of
the pomegranate is actually suggested in the Kama
Sutra as an erotic aid.
Vanilla is an extract from an orchid, and has a longstanding history
as an aphrodisiac. It is not only a favourite ice cream flavour,
but is also used in perfume. A few drops of pure vanilla extract
in a warm bath is a sensual delight that is sure to please both
you and your lover. For an extra sensual romantic night in, light
some candles, float a few orchid flowers in the water, and serve
up a glass or two of that bubbly, tub-side, with some of those oysters.
Just make sure to migrate to dry land sometime before you both turn
into a pair of prunes. In all of my research, I have failed to find
a single suggestion of anything sexy about prunes.
