8 seductive fruits

Juice up your sex life with fabulous foreplay fruits.

By Kathy Buckworth

Red, ripe strawberries, juice flowing from fingers down to lips. The berries, the ice cream, the whipped cream. Think of the passion, think of the sensuality -- think of the calories. The good news is you can skip the whipped cream and still reap many sensual benefits of fruit while getting your heart rate pumping in fun and sexy ways. If you normally associate fruit with salads, cocktails, cleansing masks or even shampoo, it's time to investigate some of its more invigorating qualities. Fruits have long been regarded as nature's aphrodisiacs but do they really have sexual powers?

Yes, says Josey Vogels, a Canadian authority on sexual behaviour and habits. "Juicy, gushing, fleshy, ripe...you can't help but think about sex when you think about cherries or strawberries in a romantic setting," Vogels says. Indulging in fruits with aphrodisiac reputations can act as powerful foreplay, as well as provide natural sexual aids during intercourse.

Lush, fleshy, juicy tropical fruit carries perhaps the strongest links to sexual activity. No matter how you slice it, all work together to inspire deliciously messy abandon.

Cherries and berries and mangoes, oh my!
Cherries: Red, ripe cherries are pleasurable eaten freshly washed or plucked out of a bowl of its own juices. This sensuous liquid can also be used to moisten lips, nipples and other body parts for licking clean. Cherries are thought to be a strong aphrodisiac for women in particular. You don't have to prepare anything fancy in the kitchen: just have a cherry rubbed up and down your body, fed to you slowly or dipped in dark chocolate for a taste revelation.

Strawberries: Strawberries have long been associated with romance, chocolate, and sensuality, and beg to be fed to another. For fruit therapy eat them freshly washed or cover them in either white or dark chocolate. The ripe, red fruit offers natural juice to be spread on lips, waiting to be licked off.

Mangoes: The mango is known in some circles as "The Love Fruit." In India, the mango tree is thought to be able to grant wishes. Make your wishes comes true after a feast on this highly touted "natural Viagra" fruit. The Kamasutra even recommends drinking mango juice before engaging in sexual play. Loaded with zinc, sugar, and other nutrients, this fruit is reputed to increase stamina.
