Food and Sex: Edible Aphrodisiacs

"The sight of her face…together with the maddening fragrance of food, evoked an emotion of wild tenderness and hunger in him which was unutterable."-Thomas Wolfe, April, Late April


Many of us do not realize the sexual nature of food. Yet food and sex have tied together throughout human history. They are intertwined from both being a basic human need to the words we use to describe them; hunger, appetite, need, spice, heat…

The old saying "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." may hold some truth after all. Look at how many first dates and special occasions are centered around a romantic dinner for two.

A carefully prepared dinner may be capable of working magic especially if you set the table with love and romance in mind.Throughout history many things, especially foods have been touted as aphrodisiacs.

Aphrodisiacs are foods, drinks, drugs, scents or any devices that can arouse or stimulate sexual desire. The FDA says there are no known aphrodisiacs, which of course clashes with the traditions and uses of aphrodisiacs for over 5000 years. The FDA's small amounts of studies have found no scientific proof that any food, herb, or anything else has any special properties.

They say all the aphrodisiac claims are based in folklore and not fact. In ancient times aphrodisiacs were sought out for many reasons including ways to increase performance and sex drive as well as to increase fertility.

Free Book Friday Will Return Next Week

I am sorting through romance and erotica books that publishers have sent to me and deciding which ones I want to review and which ones I want to share with you.

So right now Free Book Friday is on hold until next week week, hopefully by then I can sort through everything and get this site running more smoothly.

As you may know my other site Fang-tastic Books just received a makeover and I have been busy boosting its following and I try to always keep events scheduled there.

I have found trying to do this for two sites to be exhausting especially when I am also busy writing short stories and working on my novels along with the freelance stuff that helps pay the bills (plus taking care of 3 kids, a husband, 3 cats and my mom- all of whom seem to always need or want something from me :-)- so saying I am tired is an understatement.

But I do plan to do better with this site than I have in the past.

I hope to schedule some more guest authors and get more fun stuff going here, I just can't do it to the extent that I do with Fang-tastic Books.

But have no fear Free Book Friday will return next week. Until then please check out some of my articles that I posting here for the next couple of days.

And please, please, please drop by Fang-tastic Books and see what I have going on there- author guest blogs, interviews, book giveaways and contests galore.

Thanks.

Why Wear Lingerie?


Use Lingerie to Spice Up Your Relationship

Lingerie may be the simplest and most effective tool in seduction. What man doesn't love looking at a woman in lingerie? Not only do men love seeing women in lingerie, something amazing usually happens when a woman puts on the right lingerie. She not only looks sexy, but she feels sexy, she becomes sexy.


Lingerie can boost confidence and help shed inhibitions. The right lingerie can turn plain Jane into a smoldering sex kitten.
Gifts are wonderful but we all know the most appealing packages are those wrapped in pretty wrapping paper, ribbons and bows. The wrapping makes the gift that much more enticing. Plus unwrapping the present adds more excitement. That is the affect and lure of lingerie. You want to package your goodies enticingly and give your partner a surprise and sexy gift to unwrap.
Lingerie is a wonderful way to inspire romance and enhance your intimate encounters. Most of us save wearing lingerie for special occasions like Valentine's Day, birthdays or anniversaries, but it can be used at any time to add some extra heat to a relationship. Think of it as giving a surprise gift ‘just because'. There is no better way to let a man know that you want him and men love to be wanted. When he sees you standing there in something sexy, slinky, lacy or racy he'll instantly know what you have in mind.

Erotica is More Than Porn


Erotica is so much more than just porn though it is an ongoing debate. Some people see anything sexual as dirty. That it is all pornographic. There is a difference though sometimes there is a fine line between the two and like anything else it's all in the eyes of the beholder.I found the wonderful world of erotica when I returned to the writing world after a long absence. I was struggling to find a place in the industry and a niche that I enjoyed when I came across erotica.


Previously I did not know there was a whole world of erotica both in print and online that caters mainly to women. Once I found it, I was hooked. I have discovered that I love both reading and writing erotica. I have to thank Gracie and all the others at Tit-elation.com for accepting and publishing the first erotic story I ever wrote (which were followed by many more and later I became an editor at Tit-elation too). They gave me the confidence I needed when I first started out. I kept writing more and more and soon I had erotic poems and stories all over the web, in a couple anthologies and in Playgirl Magazine.
