Appetizing Aphrodisiacs
What foods turn you on?
To boost your senior libido, go no further than your fridge.
Throughout history, food has eternally been associated with sex.
Avocados have long been hailed as a sensual fruit due to its resemblance to a certain part of the male body. They are also rich in Vitamin E and Potassium that improves circulation to the nether regions and aid in testosterone production in men.
Oysters became correlated with sex because the mythological Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, emerged from an oyster shell. The slippery shellfish also contains a lot of Zinc which promotes men’s fertility.
Ginger, a warming spice, is packed with antioxidants, which enhance sexual function and fulfillment in women by boosting blood flow below the belt.
Figs are considered a sexual stimulant due to its amino acids, chili peppers are known to make your heart race, and dark chocolate is associated with dopamine, a “feel-good” hormone.
According to The Avo Tree, even artichokes are people pleasers. The New Zealand website found that they help women get in the mood and reduce men’s risk of erectile dysfunction by 19 percent. Plus, artichokes are the immature flower buds of a thistle. You literally have to undress an artichoke to eat it, one petal at a time…
We all remember that sexy scene in the movie “9 ½ Weeks” where Mickey Rourke teases Kim Basinger with a taste of cherries, hot peppers, and honey. It gets messy but that is all part of the fun.
Be playful when preparing your next menu.
What foods will work their magic?
Look into your lover’s eyes, feed them a spoonful of some spicy treat, and watch their body burn with wanton fires. Set the mood with soft music and flickering candles, and feed one another foods that will fill you with desire. Dim the lights and drink glasses of fragrant wine (a relaxant). Feel the heat flowing from your lover’s throat while they concentrate on the intensity building within.
Nothing is more titillating than seeing your partner writhe with desire. Lift your fork and feed one another a taste of love.
