Savory Sustenance— The Gift that Keeps Giving

The holidays wouldn’t be quite as sweet without the tasty temptations of cakes, cookies and other delicious treats. But to do a little cooking in the bedroom, try spicing things up by incorporating edible sexual products into your holiday recipe for romance.

Edible sexual products are just what they sound like—deliciously flavored oils, lotions and puddings made to be licked, nibbled or otherwise eaten off your body or his. Placing edible massage cream or lubricant in a place where you’d like your partner to linger helps make foreplay last longer and gives you the attention you desire. You might also encourage your partner to “sweeten yourself up,” or perhaps you would like to take charge by putting the flavors where you want your tongue to go. The chest or breast, stomach, knees (front and back), thighs, and groin areas seem to be the most popular favorites, but keep exploring to find individual preferences as well.

Try this sensual game: Brush some edible body powder on four different areas of your body—either your favorite erogenous zones or perhaps some more creative places like the tip of your elbow or the back of your knee. As the two of you are getting started, put some on your fingertip and place your finger in your partner’s mouth. Say, “I’ve put dabs of this flavor in five different places on my body, and we can’t go on to the main event until you’ve found all five.” Help them find the four, if you need to—perhaps by providing hints or saying, “warmer/colder”—but encourage them to keep looking until you are totally ready. Then when “Time’s up!” let your actions speak for you.

A sweet caveat: When in the midst of edible fun, never put any products that contain sugar in or around your vagina, including real dairy whipped cream, chocolate syrup, honey, maraschino cherries or any other items that are not specially made for sex play. You could give yourself a yeast infection, and what’s less sexy than that? Always check labels to make sure edible products are sugar-free and specially made for sex play.

So this holiday season, when you are dining out and party hopping, consider saving dessert for the bedroom. After all, nothing tastes sweeter than passion, romance and love.
