Chocolate-fed women have better sex lives
Chicago sex therapist and columnist Laura Berman relays some important Italian research on women’s chocolate consumption and sexual arousal and satisfaction. Here’s a taste:
Maybe it is chocolate’s unique combination of good chemistry and good taste that helps explain its allure. Eating creamy, sweet chocolate is a sensory experience, much like good sex. It is a delightful form of foreplay to nibble on a decadent chocolate dessert together. In fact, chocolate seems to be good for the heart in general. Dark chocolate contains plant substances called polyphenols, the ingredients scientists think are responsible for the heart-healthy attributes of red wine. Polyphenols also have been shown to lower blood pressure.
And why do you think I’ve buying Allie boxes and boxes of candy recently, hmmmm?
