Think fruits are only for eating? Well you probably don’t eat them anyway but here’s a little something for those who want a little extra oomph in the sack, or if you’re just too lazy to do a little seducing, maybe you can feed her some of these and hope that you’ll get lucky tonight. Most of these fruits are available at your local grocery, but you’re going to have to look a little bit harder for some of them depending on where you live. You can eat it as it is or if you’re the romantic type that has some decent cooking skills you might want to try some of these recipes.

Apple. Ah, the apple, the temptation of Eve - the downfall in the Garden of Eden. But then, what pretty girl could ever pass up a shiny, lipstick red, orchard-fresh fruit of the gods? The ancient Greeks also loved the apple. Instead of slipping a ring onto a fair maiden’s finger, a Greek warrior was supposed to toss an apple to the - ah - apple of his eye. If she caught the fruit, the act was as good as an engagement.

Apricot. This fuzzy fruit can make you feel fuzzy all over because it can have a calming effect on the body. It is used frequently as a base in essential oils. Even William Shakespeare mentions the apricot in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Long ago, the fruit was used to symbolize female genitalia because of its shape.

Avocado. The Aztecs called the avocado tree “Ahuacuatl” which when translated means “testicle tree”. The ancients thought the fruit hanging in pairs on the tree resembled the male’s testicles. This is a delicious fruit with a sensuous texture.

Bananas. The banana flower has a marvelous phallic shape and is partially responsible for popularity of the banana as an aphrodisiac food. An Islamic myth tells the tale that after Adam and Eve succumbed to the “Apple” they started covering their “nudity” with banana leaves rather than fig. From a more practical standpoint bananas are rich in potassium and B vitamins, necessities for sex hormone production.

Durian. Durian, a nutritious fruit native to Southeast Asia, is packed with proteins, minerals, antioxidants and other phytonutrients. For those who can get past its unpleasant aroma, Durian flesh is rich, juicy, and custard-like, and may be spooned out and eaten as is or used in beverages, ice cream, or custards. The flesh is believed to help destroy and expel intestinal parasites.

Figs. An open fig is thought to emulate the female sex organs and traditionally thought of as sexual stimulant. A man breaking open a fig and eating it in front of his lover is a powerful erotic act. Serve fresh Black Mission figs in a cool bowl of water as it is done in Italy and be sure to eat with your fingers!

Peach. The peach is a seductive fruit by virtue of its shape and other characteristics. It has been attributed with seductive qualities but scientifically, it may be due to the vitamins and minerals present in the fruit which contributes to the body’s well-being.

Pomegranate. The pomegranate is a symbol of fertility with its abundant seeds. For the Chinese, the pomegranate symbolizes prosperity in an abundant household.

Pineapple. Rich in vitamin C and is used in the homeopathic treatment for impotence. Add a spear to a sweet Rum drink for a tasty prelude to an evening of passion.

Raspberries and Strawberries. Perfect foods for hand feeding your lover. Both invite love and are described in erotic literature as fruit nipples. Both are high in vitamin C and make a sweet light dessert.

Now I won’t be responsible if you give it to someone else other than your girl (you probably won’t get some anyway, cheating bastard). Also, keep in mind that it doesn’t work for everyone, but it wouldn’t hurt to try right? It’s a healthy snack anyway. With that said, happy eating, and then some.
