Bringing “breakfast in bed” to a whole new level

Some people say they know a lot about food. Some say they know a lot about sex. But both can be that much more thrilling when they come together in bed.

Hungry for more? Well, incorporating food with sex—also called “food play”— stimulates the senses: we’re talking about taste, smell, sight, touch, and sometimes hearing, for those of you with more adventurous food cravings. And haven’t you ever been told not to play with your food? Here’s your chance! Food play is just a little bit dirty, which makes it all the more fun.

That being said, there are some dos and don’ts when it comes to food play. Make sure that bringing food into the bedroom enhances your experience with these easy tips.

DO: get chocolate fondue and smear or spill it all over your partner’s body. Chocolate releases endorphins: hormones that make us happy and relieve pain, intensifying the sex experience. Watch out though! Sure, “some like it hot,” but make sure it’s not that hot…or some people will like you not. You don’t want to take away third-degree burns with a side dish of bad memories!

DO: bust out the whipped cream. Light, low-fat Cool Whip is the best. It’s less sticky and a smart choice for those who are watching their weight. Put some on the erogenous zones like neck, nipples, abdomen and, believe it or not, armpits. Lick, caress, and kiss these hot spots, not only pleasuring your receiving partner, but also satisfying your own cravings. Take the whipped cream action a step further by taking oral sex to a whole new level.

DON’T: bust out the hot sauce. Spices are out of the question and definitely should not be brought into sex. That painful, burning sensation is a reminder that curry, wasabi and even cinnamon should not approach your sensitive bits.

DO: choose a set of sheets that might no longer be usable after you play. That way you can make all the mess you want, without worrying about the cleanup.

DON’T: use a vegetable as an anal plug. While sometimes people use phallic foods, like cucumbers or carrots, for sexual stimulation, what goes up may not always come down. Inserting food objects up the anal cavity may be very dangerous if control is lost or if the object is lost inside, irretrievable. Dodge an emergency room examination and medical professionals probing you for extraction by using an anal dildo or plug with a flared base, instead.

DO: play with other types of fruits, in less cavernous places. Strawberries, for example, are one of many fruit aphrodisiacs, like raspberries and pineapples. You can never go wrong with running few of those petite red devils through a chocolate-smeared body. Try starting from the chest area, going around the nipples in little circular ripples, down to the abdomen and circling around the belly button coming back all the way to the neck, up the chin, and into the mouth—just bite down!

So now you’ve got yourself strawberries dipped in chocolate with whipped cream on top, on top of your sex partner. Who said dessert couldn’t get any better?
