Most romantic evenings involve food. To share a meal together is an intimate act in itself. Meals are an important “tool” in romance. A carefully selected menu will sweep that special someone off his or her feet.
If the meal is served in public this give the couple a chance to be intimate in a safe environment while exploring each other’s compatibility. Eating in public gives the couple an easy out in case chemistry doesn’t happen.
If a meal is prepared by a person in a private setting this may be an opportunity to show off cuisine skills by creating a Seduction Dinner; a menu full of romance, candle light, soft music, bottle of wine and aphrodisiacs.
Sharing a meal is meant to stimulate the senses. Have fun during a meal; pick foods than can be fed to each other. Try to sneak in some foods with aphrodisiac properties. Who knows? Maybe you’ll have fun after the meal, too.
Romantic Meals Fact
Libidos are affected by diets. Incorporate any of these ingredients into your romantic meal to get into the mood a bit faster:
• Figs can boost libido.
• Curry is shown to make sexual organs more sensitive.
• Asparagus may make your urine smell, but it also helps with histamine production, which men and women need for orgasms.

A FREE PDF DOWNLOAD OF HANDCUFFS & SILK
In the1NS book Handcuffs & Silk my characters Hunter and Steph meet to “break the ice” over dinner. What they eat, how they enjoy the food and drink, the fragrances around them all add to the pleasure of the experience as well as add to the anticipation of their erotic one night stand.
EXCERPT FROM HANDCUFFS & SILK
A hostess quickly found them a discreet table. Hunter pulled the chair out for Steph. When he sat down, she reached across the table and with a beautiful smile, gave his arm a squeeze. A simple gesture causing his senses to wake.
Images of placing food on that delicate tongue excited him. “I’m new in town. What’s the best on the menu?”
“Well, you’re in the right place. If you like beef, they have the best filet mignon with a mushroom and wine sauce. Oh, and get the garlic and thyme-roasted asparagus to go with it. To die for.”
“Sounds superb!” He smiled. “I’m sure you have something in mind for dessert.”
“Ignite-the-Flames-of-My-Desire Bananas Foster.”
“What?”
“That’s the name of the dessert.” Steph’s laugh rolled over him like a warm wave. “It’s rich with rum, creamy, and spicy with cinnamon. The waiter actually sets it on fire.”
“Hmmm... sensual.”
