Turn food essentials into ‘essensuals’ during self-isolation

The heat, the spice, you lick your lips, she licks her fingers — we’re talking about dinner, of course. While the way to a man’s heart may be through his stomach, when it comes to most women, there’s nothing sexier than a man who cooks.

So, why not kill two birds with one stone and spice things up by whipping up something the two of you can enjoy in the kitchen? The action doesn’t have to be limited to the kitchen alone. Take some of that erotic energy into the bedroom as well.

All in the hands

It’s all about being playful with your ingredients and your lover. Slice and dice while rubbing shoulders, or you could show her how it’s done by guiding her hand with yours. It’s not about perfection but having fun. If you really want to heat things up, make bread. All the pounding and kneading of the dough will make the two of you work up a sweat.

The right combination
Certain foods only heighten feelings of desire. So, think of lusciously-whipped cream with sweet bananas for finger food you can enjoy in the bedroom. Choose sensually shaped vegetables or fruits known to increase attraction such as figs. Creamy chocolate and dark coffee can lead to another sweet deal after the meal is over.

Get dirty
Feed each other with your fingers. No cutlery, no problem. And don’t worry about cleaning up, you can do that together in the shower.
