Can Food be an Effective Aphrodisiac?

With so much advancement in modern medicine to assist those having difficulties in the bedroom department, it's a little surprising to still find such an abundance of content out there on the internet concerning all the various types of aphrodisiac including: female aphrodisiac, natural aphrodisiacs, and the most common aphrodisiacs of the 21st century. With a western fascination in alternative medicines, cures, and remedies, there seems to be a particular interest in herbal aphrodisiac. Like most Chinese herbal remedies, herbal aphrodisiacs have been around for perhaps thousands of years in the Far East,

But what are considered the best aphrodisiacs? Well, some would say that when looking for an effective aphrodisiac, you may not need to look further than your own kitchen. Strawberries, wine, and chocolate are all well-known aphrodisiacs. I recommend that one particularly famous aphrodisiac, the oyster, be avoided. There is absolutely nothing romantic about them. If you have ever seen someone feed one of these slimy things to another person or eaten one yourself, then you most likely spent more time in the bathroom that day than in the bedroom.

I believe that, if presented correctly, almost any food can be an aphrodisiac except, of course, the oyster. To take your favorite food to the level of aphrodisiac all you need to do is feed it to your partner. Often times your partner simply responds to your attention and the nurturing aspects of feeding someone. If you take your time and feed them slowly, any treat can do the trick.

Being a woman, I prefer sweet foods and fruit. Fruit has a symbolic nature that subconsciously turns both men and women on. The words "seed" and "fruit" are wrought with carnal connotations. The other plus side to fruit is that most of them contain a bit of juice that could fall onto your partner's fingers and need to be retrieved in a most creative way.

There are many aphrodisiacs besides food. An aphrodisiac can be anything that excites our sensual nature. Intoxicating smells from fresh flowers, a scented candle or incense along with soothing music can ease your partner's mood and most people enjoy the act of love more thoroughly and more often when they are relaxed. Bubble baths and massages are good ways to soothe your partner and connect physically at the same time.

This next tip sounds a bit strange at first but has a proven track record. One often-overlooked aphrodisiac is fear. Before you raise your eyebrow, allow me to remind you of a time when you were younger. Picture yourself in high school. You are at a movie with your crush. Think back to the feeling of the dark theater and the close proximity you had with each other. Remember the exhilaration of two shy hands seeking each other out and slowly meeting. Now what if that movie you were watching was a horror flick? How close did you get to each other when there was a touch of fear in the moment?

It doesn't take very long for two hands to find each other in the dark when one of you is afraid. Remember this the next time the power goes out and you are searching for the flashlight. You may be missing a wonderful opportunity for excitement.

One secret aphrodisiac that is guaranteed to excite any woman is conversation. We love it when you can share your minds with us and not just your bodies. The quickest way to get a woman to open up to you is to open up to her. Women categorically respond better to psychological stimulation than any other kind. There is also evidence that women reach that sweet stab of agony more often and with greater intensity when they feel psychologically safe and cared for. The greatest and most powerful aphrodisiac will always be conversation. Be it with food or conversation, the aphrodisiac of sweetness will serve you well.
