Did you know that chocolate, ginger, olives and cheese are...
considered aphrodisiacs?

Olives? Cheese?

1. That explains a lot.
I've always loved black olives and just about any kind of cheese.

I didn't realize they were what gave me my superpowers... ;-)

B-) :D :P

:hi:, HG!

3. Who knows?
Olives and cheese feature prominently in many Mediterranean cultural cuisines. Aphrodisiacs are an important part of Mediterranean cultural lore. I suppose the two were bound to get caught up in the fun sooner or later...

4. My dear Haole Girl!
My feeling is that any normal male will seize upon almost anything for that purpose!

:D

Nice to see you tonight!

6. I will say that if it's been a while, almost anything becomes sexy.
And almost anything can stimulate man's more primal functions...

Men are shackled to natural impulse sometimes... B-)

7. Not 'sometimes,' I'd say, and not just 'men,' either.
Ginger cookies!

8. Interesting about the olives.
My boyfriend loves to drink a dirty martini (3 olives) with his dinner when we eat out. He always gives me one, sometimes two, of the olives from his martini and I take it off the pick with my mouth, savor it and eat it slowly.

9. And THERE'S the aphrodisiac right there!

Like they say, nothing is sexier than the mind.
