The Right Diet for Good Sex
Here’s a great little article from Karen Reams on “”The Right Diet for Good Sex: Food in Pursuit of Erotic Pleasure.”
You know how fond I am of the food-pleasure connection. With summer coming up, add the word “picnic” to most of her tips and turn every outdoor snack into foreplay. Even a veggie and a carnivore can find a happy medium with these tips! Here she goes:
Sex should never be taken for granted or boring. But have you ever thought of going on a diet to enhance your sexual life? I am not talking about your sex life perking up because you lose weight, but a diet that is set in place to make you a remarkable lover.
There is certainly evidence out there to suggest that certain foods can play a part in a healthy sex life. These foods will help you keep up physical energy which is an important part of love making. Some are even suggesting that a healthy eater equals a more passionate lover.
The use of good food increases our creativity and someone who is creative can make love-making unforgettable.
Of course the obvious is, the right kind of food served in the right atmosphere will make you heady with anticipation and delight.
This really isn’t a new discovery, food, love and sex have been linked together for centuries. The Greeks and Romans for example, before they embarked on any sexual activity used to a enjoy a parade of ripe fruits and exotic dishes. And lets not forget Casanova, who is reported to have shared oysters with his paramours.
So why in the 21st century should we be any different?
There are several foods around that will enhance a natural high such as; almonds, apples, beets, carrots, chicken, eggs, milk, peanuts, pineapple, soybean, spinach and tomatoes. So far not too horrendous. But then we have the sensual foods such as; chocolate, whipped cream, grapes, wine and strawberries. I think its time to return to the ways of the great lovers of the past and use food in pursuit of pleasure.
-Keep your cupboards and refrigerators stocked so that you have everything at a drop of a hat.
-When the mood takes you, gather your ingredients and start cooking. Its more fun to do this together and perhaps just wearing aprons……or even nude….spice it up.
-Just share the one glass for wine, there is nothing so sensual.
-Feed your partner juicy fruits such as slivers of pear or mango.
-Feed each other in creative ways. There is nothing so erotic than nibbling strawberries from your partners chest especially if whipped cream is involved.
-Be inventive and creative and enjoy.
