They say the way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach.
If your love language is quality time or acts of service, you’re in luck; it looks like cooking together is the go-to romantic gesture this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re an avid appreciator of the romantic holiday or just using it as an excuse for a date night, you can swap flowers for food play to mix up your weeknight quality time.
Food play is a fun and sensual experience; incorporating food in a way that enhances an erotic encounter and triggers arousal. If you want to try out food play this Valentine’s Day, here are some ideas:
- Sensual eating
- Feeding each other fruit
- Kissing wine into each other's mouths
- Licking and eating food off each other's body
Aphrodisiac foods are the perfect ingredients to turn the heat up on your night in. These foods work by ‘increasing sexual potency, such as enhancing erections, and by increasing your sex drive and your pleasure during sex. You’ve probably already seen couples ordering oysters and chocolate ahead of Valentine’s Day, but ingredients like honey and ginseng are well-known aphrodisiacs.
