Milk Does the Erection Good

Out of all the aphrodisiacs noted throughout history over a period of thousands of years, the one that has been singled out as having proven sexual-enhancing properties is good ole’ straight from the breast: mother’s milk! In a controlled study of healthy women aged 18 to 35, who were asked to apply pads laced with a combination of breast milk and underarm secretions collected from mothers who were exclusively nursing their newborns, it was noted that breastfeeding compounds increased sexual motivation by up to 24 percent. The research, which was conducted by the Institute for Mind and Biology at the University of Chicago, found that participants exposed to breastfeeding compounds had a 17 percent increase in sexual fantasies as compared with a 27 percent decline in the desire of women in the control group.

All life comes from the egg. In this vein, many cultures view the egg as containing the ability to instigate hot sex. Perhaps it is because of their role in continuing the life cycle, and their inherent cholesterol-rich legacy, which are the precursors to the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. Regardless, painting Easter eggs is a waste of time when you could be gorging on them. Caviar, the tiny, slippery, grainy eggs harvested from select types of fish, have been purported to hold mystical powers of arousal. Beluga, sturgeon, ossetra, and sevruga are the most commonly consumed fish eggs by connoisseurs who can afford this luxury in pursuit of prolonging an intimate foray.

Considering that the nation of China is home to over a billion people, it’s safe to say this nation knows how to get it on. China has its claim to a plethora of wide-ranging aphrodisiacs, especially in regards to the animal kingdom. Many are steeped in the antiquity of hundreds of years of superstitions while others are embedded in association, like tiger, bear and deer penises. Turtle meat, dried starfish, and snakes are often found by the thousands in markets all throughout China and are consumed by patrons counting on their powers of fueling their lust-filled nights.

Strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate, and other sweets may be the most clichéd, overused aphrodisiacs gorged upon during Valentine’s Day. This year, how about treating your sweetheart to some hot, red, love meat? Through the ages, a variety of meats have gained aphrodisiac reputations. From wild game meats, exotic bird fare, to prized, hand-reared, sake-drinking livestock (Kobe beef), all meat has been revered to impart vigorous, potent male sexual energy. Because of their “bloodiness” and brilliant red coloring when raw, red meats such as beef, goat, buffalo, and venison are known to arouse ferocious passions.
