Food and sex are two things in life that seem to me to be irrevocably intertwined. Both can be comforting, exciting, varied and enjoyed with someone you love. Food can be sensual, erotic and tantalising, just like sex. Both food and sex can be fast affairs, or long drawn out feasts over several hours. Both can nourish the soul and bring you to new experiences.  

Someone once told me that sex is like pizza, even when it's bad it's still quite good... I definitely put up with some not so great experiences as a younger woman, but as I have grown up I have become much more confident and when things aren't to my liking I'm not afraid to speak up. In the bedroom or a restaurant. Always politely of course...

In my view, sex and food definitely go together. Breakfast in bed made by a lover. A romantic meal out. And also in the bedroom. There are various kinks involving food - sploshing (getting turned on by sitting on food) and other forms of W.A.M. (wet and messy) - but you don't have to go full body covered in your favourite meal, unless that's your thing of course, in which case go for it! But for those that are intimidated by messiness there are plenty of foods that you can bring into your sex play without covering your whole bed with a hot fudge sundae. This week I will look at some of my favourites, starting with the simplest and least messy.

1. Strawberries
They look beautiful, they taste great and they aren't too messy. You and your lover can feed them to each other and intersperse with kisses. You can slice them thinly and decorate your body with them (best when you are laying down) and have your partner eat them off. A trail of strawberry slices from your neck to your pubic bone will definitely have your partner interested.

2. Grapes 
Grapes (seedless of course) can again be fed to each other and also shared. Another trick is to freeze them and then use them to tease your partner as they defrost.

3. Cherries
Can you tell that I like fruit? Black cherries are my favourite, they are sweet and juicy and sexy, perfect with a partner. let their juice dribble down your chin and have your partner lick it off. And most importantly - see who can tie a knot in a cherry stem with their tongue. It can be done...

4. Chocolate 
Now we are moving into the realms of messiness, but a drizzle of chocolate sauce with your sliced strawberries will go down a treat. I am sure that you can think of other places to put it that you might like to lick it off...

5. Whipped Cream
Whipped cream is delicious and fun, but only for about 20 minutes before it becomes a bit weird, so maybe factor in a shower or bath after this one. Cover your nipples with it and have your partner lick it off, feed it to each other, bring in a few strawberries for dessert in bed, the possibilities are endless. 

6. Cheese
Blindfolding your partner and feeding them delicious cheese, like a brie, can be a really erotic experience. Cheese and crackers is also a perfect after sex snack in my view.

Stay safe. Have fun.
