Sexual pleasure from eating?

I think this is the right forum; move it if necessary, I guess.

Do people really have orgasms from eating certain foods, or is that just a metaphor?

And if so, where do I buy that cookbook?

Ever see the movie Tom Jones? There was a scene that was funny and scandalous at the time with Albert Finney and his lover ravenously knawing huge chicken thighs and getting food all over. When things were really hot and heavy the screen went black and they brought up the harpsichord love theme.

I don’t think you can actually orgasm just from eating. I’ve had food that was delicious and sensual and made me extremely horny and lusty, for sure. Certain tastes and textures are very sexy… ever eaten a real ripe fresh mango with someone? There’s juice everywhere and it’s sexy as all get out. Definitly gets the mood going. But actually orgasming with no stimulation just from tasting certain foods? I can’t say it never happened anywhere, but I’ve certainly never seen anything like it, and damned if I’m not a girl who doesn’t need much work to come.

I have, from a few foods: cheesecake and blue cheese and chocolate (not together). I do find food much more satisfying than sex, most of the time. Could be why I’m fat! :smiley:
