Hungry for love
Ever said "Wow, this food is orgasmic!"? It just might be!
Imagine the fluid, satiny texture of honey, the juicy red ripeness of a fig, the creaminess of chocolate, the hot, hot fieryness of chillies.... Food is definitely one of the most sensual pleasures on earth.
It's association with lovemaking is what led to the belief that certain foods have the power to arouse or to enhance the sexual experience - aphrodisiacal qualities. Named after Aphrodite, the goddess of love,
aphrodisiacs are shrouded in mystery, folklore and symbolism. They are proof of mankind's preoccupation with the physical act of love. Their efficacy has often been questioned but that hasn't stopped us from experimenting - after all there is nothing to lose!
Chillies
They set your mouth on fire, make your skin look flushed and cause your heart to race... all the feelings you feel when you've just kissed passionately or had a quickie. It's no wonder they rank high on the list of love foods. Only beware, because too large a dose might have you rushing for a gulp of cold water rather than into the arms your amour!!
Pepper
The Perfumed Garden advises mixing ground pepper with cardamom or lavender, galangal, musk, honey and ginger to make a potent topical aphrodisiac for men. Closer home, in India pepper corns crushed with almonds and mixed with milk are a popular aphrodisiac served by a bride to her groom on their wedding night.
Celery
This delicately flavoured green contains androsterone, a powerful male hormone that is released through sweat and attracts females - a pheromone of sorts.
Nutmeg
Its heady fragrance made it a prized spice among the ancient Arabs, Greeks, Hindus and Romans. Here in India, a combination of nutmeg, honey and a half-boiled egg eaten an hour before sex is prescribed to prolong lovemaking!
Indian Fennel
To the ancient Greeks and Hindus fennel was a potent sexual stimulant and fennel juice, honey, ghee, sugar and licorice were mixed to make a potion for sexual vigour. In the Mediterranean fennel soup is thought to increase sexual desire.
Pumpkin seeds are a male sexual tonic and sesame seeds have a beneficial effect in maintaining and enhancing sexual vigour.
Cayenne pepper
The endorphins it releases give you a pleasant buzz much like the high you feel after a strenuous workout.
