Pumpkin Pie might be better than Viagra!

Everyone has a take on aphrodisiacs and rightfully so. Different people respond to different things. Our focus today is on Pumpkin and Pumpkin pies. Not many people understand that pumpkin has been used as an aphrodisiac for many years. According to a study by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, the smell of pumpkin alone can increase the blood flow as much as 40% (isn't that what Viagra does) They also claim that the pumpkin smell increases desire in women. If you get a little romantic sensation at Thanksgiving this might be the cause. Not only does the smell help but some studies say that pumpkin can help a man with prostate problems and also pregnant females. Pumpkin pie contains several items that are good for you but two in particular are known for their aphrodisiac property's. Cinnamon and Vanilla both are said to spike the libido. As we near the holidays we will all be pushing the pumpkin pie on our partners. I personally think I am going to start stocking up on the pies and have them all year long.

Forget the Flowers

It is the time for fresh vegetables and fruit so the next time you want to pick up some flowers for you sweetheart, do something a little different. Pick up a bouquet of fruit or vegetables. You might be laughing but don't you think she might get more enjoyment out of some fresh sweet fruit then some flowers that might die soon anyway. Think about the possibilities. You can feed each other melon and passion fruit, or if you choose vegetables you can grill them up and devour them for supper. Plus both are supper healthy for you, and nothing says I care more then concern for your partners health. If you look hard enough you can find some out of the way items like starfruit, or papaya, pick something she hasn't tried before to give your gift a little extra excitement. Now get out to the market and get a nice bouquet of fruit.
