Organic = Orgasmic

Organic = Orgasmic

Going green isn’t just limited to buying organic food. You can feed your way to your lover’s heart and increase your sexual enjoyment through certain foods. Did you know that organic can equal orgasmic?

Since the beginning of time, we have understood the erotic power of food. Romans fed their lovers grapes. Montezuma drank dozens of cups of a chocolaty beverage every day to keep up his sexual strength. Hippocrates prescribed honey (rich in antioxidants) to boost desire, and Casanova devoured oysters (high in zinc, a mineral used in the production of testosterone in both men and women) to elevate his sexual prowess.

We may not have the same quick-trigger hormone rushes that we used to. Here are some all-natural organic orgasmic inducers that are sure to add some flavor and spice to your love life.

Erotic finger foods such as pitted olives, peel-and eat shrimp, and clams on a half-shell require us to eat with our hands in a slow sensual way, paying attention to the way the food makes us feel. Vibrant and tangy berries, cherries, pomegranates and papayas provide a sweet happy ending to any romantic interlude.

Aphrodisiac Nourishments:

1. Chilli peppers – Heat up the bedroom with a flush and fluster. Chilli peppers trigger natural feel-good endorphins.

2. Chocolate – heart healthy in many ways. Flavonoids fight disease, and antioxidants prevent some of the risk factors associated with heart attacks and strokes. Chocolate is also rich in an amino acid called phenyl ethylamine, the "love chemical” that serves as a natural anti-depressant.

3. Figs – A symbol of fertility and reproduction, a suggestive shape, fig-leave-adorned Romans, need I say more?

4. Garlic – An antioxidant, but beware of the dreaded garlic breath, not so much of an aphrodisiac unless both partners consume.

5. Pine Nuts – Rich in zinc like oysters are. (No wonder why Italians are known as a passionate culture. It seems like they have the corner on serving up all of these love potions.)

6. Tomato – this 'love apple" is known for being a libido enhancer, packed with lycopene.

Cooking together is a great way to keep the conversation, laughter and romance alive. Create your own love potion or special recipe for love.
