Ingredients:HORNY

This post is a dedication to, rather inspired by my dearest friend Karmic_Jay ;-) He knows what I'm talking about hehehe.

Have you ever associated food with Eroticism and vice versa? No I'm not talking about going to McDonald's and making love to a Happy Meal. I'm talking about food that makes you feel hornier and eroticism that is associated with certain foods. Food apparently is very much linked with sex and vice versa. Now this is what the article I did my homework on said. It's very interesting so please do read this if you can:

"Food and sex are two sides of the same coin — inextricably linked throughout history. And as for scientific proof that aphrodisiacs work, who needs it? Adam and Eve were the first couple to have sex, and it’s no coincidence that their biblical story is founded on a spare rib and an apple. Survival is the most basic of human instincts. We can’t do that without eating, nor can we do it without procreating; they are two sides of the same coin, inextricably conjoined throughout history. Nowadays, of course, if we ate only to survive we’d all be on the Nasa diet, consuming shuttle-crew rations of reconstituted mush containing all the required protein, vitamins and minerals. Similarly, if we had sex only to procreate, it would all be over in seconds. Most of us want more than that from sex, and from food; we crave sensual pleasure, the gratification of as many senses as possible — sight, smell, taste, touch. We always have done. If you doubt that food and sex have so much in common, turn to Nature; and look no further than the first letter of the alphabet. Pick up an asparagus spear. Observe that thick, woody stalk, tapering towards the tip before expanding into a bulbous head and...ooh, er, missus. There can be few culinary activities more erotic than feeding to your beloved a tender asparagus spear dripping with melted butter; messy, but undoubtedly erotic! In other languages and cultures, ripe fruit has long had female anatomical associations. Last year they opened a restaurant near where I live called La Figa. Among the local Italian community there was a mixture of outrage and giggles, depending on their level of prudishness. I never understood why, till an Italian friend told me to slice a fig in half. Ah yes, now I get it. The letter A also stands, of course, for aphrodisiac. Fact or wishful fantasy? Who knows — but if it works for you, go for it. You would be in good company. Many ancient civilisations believed that something that resembled a sexual organ must logically possess sexual powers — eg ginseng , rhinoceros horn and oysters. The Ancient Greeks, including Pliny and Dioscorides, all agreed that certain foods had aphrodisiac qualities, although they couldn’t agree on what those foods were. Some swore by aniseed and almonds, some by bananas and basil, others by carrots and chocolate, others still by garlic and ginger. But then, trust the killjoys of the United States Food and Drug Adminstration to subject all this jollity to a brisk cold shower. In 1989 the FDA declared that “ the reputed sexual effects of so-called aphrodisiacs are based in folklore, not fact” and “there is no scientific proof that any aphrodisiacs work”. Who needs scientific proof? I’m with Los Van Van, the great Latin salsa band, and one of my favourite songs: No Me Toques La Puerta, El Negro Está Cocinando, which means Don’t Knock At My Door, The Black Guy’s Cooking. And if you think that has anything literally to do with either doors or cooking, then you’re either very innocent or extremely naïve".

haha can someone explain that song title to me? Cos I still don't get it :( and hell yeah I can be extremely naive sometimes. Ok as the article read, I know that certain foods can make you extra-erotic (either by eating them or even by just looking at them or even smelling them) and I'm sure it adds 'spice' to one's sex life. Do all people feel this way or am I just a horny pineapple? Well this is what I think...the 5 senses we have are sex antennas and some people like me have it better-tuned. lol! Cos the smell, touch, sight, sound and taste can be strongly erotic if you tune em well. And ofcourse that means they respond strongly to certain external cues and they can drive your emotions wild. One of my friends (H) adores red wine and strawberries alot. H tells me that those food items make certain things more exciting and an experience out-of-this-world. I hope H doesn't end up in Pluto hehe. Anyways, some others say that looking at/smelling certain fruits/veges/food/drinks make them super-horny eg: apples, grapes, carrots, whip-cream, rose-water, chocolates, honey etc. I think that's deliciously naughty and very interesting indeed :) Now this doesn't mean you take your lunch to bed ok?? Here's some food I feel super-horny to: chocolate/vanilla icing, coffee, melting chocolates, strawberries, ice cream, cream, milk - yes milk! Having said that I realise that I have my daily coffee in office..that sounds more scary now lol! What's your erotic menu like? ;-)
