Tongues serve as one of our most sensual organs. A tool of the mind as well as the body, our tongues encompass multiple simultaneous senses, both giving and receiving. With the right voice or word choice, flawless elocution whets many an appetite. As does the tactile satisfaction of a well-placed velvet stroke. A long languid lick also appeals to the eyes. And a burst of satiable flavors surging over taste buds sparks paradisiacal pleasure. Embrace this paradise by sharing a sweet treat with your partner. For Week 46 of 52 Love, tantalize your tongues with dessert for two.
Food-play is akin to foreplay. The same sensations trigger when you work them right. Desserts delight the palate and boost endorphins. That enjoyment multiplies when shared with a loved one. Sweet treats are festive and fun, with lavish options to explore joint pleasures.
Often linked to increased sexual desire and prowess, honey serves as a natural aphrodisiac. Drizzle it over dessert and then each other. Suck droplets from your partner’s fingers. Dab your pinkie in a gilded pool and glide it over his mouth. Lick the nectar from his honeyed lips as the foreplay before a magnificent sticky kiss. Repeat with other body parts. For more tips on how to enjoy honey, check the Kamasutra.
Add a sense of sinful pleasure by garnishing your chosen dessert with sliced apples or pomegranate seeds. No guilt involved. Only carmine antioxidants to nibble to your heart’s desire. Choosing other fruits in vibrant colors will liven the scenery and add a sweet bouquet of aroma. Rest your partner’s head on your lap and feed him grapes from the vine. Dip strawberries in whipped cream or melted chocolate, then slip the delectable tips between his lips. Lean in to share those flavor combinations with your tongue, you know…in the interest of science.
For a bonus sense of delayed gratification, prepare your dessert as a couple. It need not be difficult for you to enjoy the preparation process. Rejoice in the simplicity of boxed mixes and premade fillings, or get fancy with extravagant make-together pastries. If you truly thrive on challenge, add a blindfold. For once, I’m not adding kink to the mix. When researching this week’s topic, I stumbled upon this fantastic idea. I can’t claim it as my own, but I definitely recommend it.
With or without the blindfold, preparing and decorating your treat as a couple fosters a sense of teamwork and closer intimacy, which extends the reward beyond the end goal. As always, working together toward this shared mutual pleasure builds anticipation toward the moment of culmination. Whether your dessert of choice is the magnum opus of your night or the prelude to a later crescendo, indulging in such rich decadence together will lead to a wealth of bliss that rewards more than your tongues.
