Recently Cougar in Training asked a question on Formspring:
Are there any foods that are an aphrodisiac for you?
An interesting question and one I actually had to think about for a bit. Food strikes us on many levels, it sates our hunger when our bodies need to be nourished, there are comfort foods that some reach for when tired or stressed. There are foods that are just plain fun to eat like cheesecake, ice cream or whatever strikes your fancy.
Some foods are thought to have aphrodisiac properties that will enhance the libido.
One such are oysters. While I do so enjoy a plate of raw oysters I never really noticed any aphrodisiac qualities.
If there were any single food that I would consider a aphrodisiac I would have to say the strawberry. What a wonderful little fruit that isn’t a fruit. The texture of the berry, the taste as you bite into it, the juice as it explodes in your mouth, how wonderful and delightful it is.
To me at least there is something so sensual and erotic about strawberries such a marvelous fruit it is.
A food for consideration – asparagus. This may be strictly a woman’s point of view.
It has a phallic appearance, it’s best when eaten with your fingers, and is divine dipped in butter or hollandaise.
Imagine watching a woman eat asparagus with her fingers, catching the butter dripping of the tip on her tongue, sucking the length of it into her mouth.
Am i wrong?
Put that way yes I could see asparagus in that light.
I prefer raspberries. They have a taste texture combo that I find absolutely erotic.
Ahh raspberries indeed. What about blackberries or blueberries?
I like them as fruit to eat, but they don’t have the pull like raspberries do.
Thank you for such a candid description
