If you haven’t thought of Pomme Natural Market on Davie Street as the next best thing to your favourite toy, think again. Who knew that Pomme was such a treasure trove of sexy delights that taste (and feel) as good as they are for your body?
Below is a list of items found in the market that will benefit your body and libido. Next time you come — to Pomme that is — seek out these oh-so-luscious treats and bite, suck, lick and taste your way to better sex.
Asparagus
Rich in zinc, asparagus can increase libido and sexual desire. Try them steamed with butter. They also make an excellent drawing tool — write on, lick off, nibble, repeat.
Avocado
Avocado halves just plain look sexy. High in omega-3 fatty acids, avocados are good for your heart, which is good for keeping your blood flowing to all the right places.
Bananas
In-store Special Price: $0.49/lb!
It’s not just the size and shape that is so appealing, it’s the nutrients in bananas that yield its aphrodisiac effects. Bananas increase libido by increasing sex hormones and upping the body’s production of serotonin, one of the hormones responsible for that post coitus/just-fucked euphoria. With vitamins, minerals and energy, bananas are one of the best fruits for bedroom (or any room) strength.
Beets
High in nitric acid, beets increase blood flow . . . right where you need it.
Cantaloupe
Wet, slippery, firm but yielding. Enough said.
Cloves
Associated with increased female libido, but it is also used to get rid of bad breath — a good thing, regardless of the lips you’re kissing.
Eggs
High in protein to aid in stamina and a good source of L-arginine, an amino acid that increases nitric oxide production, a vasodilator that relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow.
Figs
Increase the secretion of pheromones. Let the games begin!
Lettuce
Each bite contains an opiate that helps to activate sex hormones. Getting any? “Let us” help you with that.
Pineapple
Like kiwi, celery and watermelon, pineapple can make semen taste lighter and sweeter. Bottoms up!
Strawberries
High in antioxidants and a rich source of zinc, feed your lover fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate — or any other sweet secretion — and you’ll have them eating out of your hand.
Watermelon
High in the phytonutrient L-citrulline, a precursor to L-arginine, an amino acid that increases nitric oxide production. Think of watermelon as the wet, sweet cousin to Viagra and Cialis.
Once you’re thoroughly done in produce, ease your way into the healthy living section and pluck a few of these Pomme pleasures.
Massage oil
Perfect when you’re in the mood for giving, and giving, and giving.
Bamboo sheets
Whether you are on top, or underneath, or upside down, these oh-so-soft sheets are eco-friendly, durable and highly absorbent.
Lip balm
For your oh-so-kissable lips.
Body wash
For your other oh-so-kissable lips.
Soy candles
You’ll find that they won’t be the only thing burning.
Chocolate
What’s your pleasure? Sweet? Salty? Spicy? Or are you all-in for three at a time?
When you’re ready to come, we’ll see you in-store.
