For example, in Miami (Florida), a cart called the Ahrodisiac Ice Cream Truck (“the aphrodisiac ice cream car”) circulates through the clubs of the city and offers ice creams with a secret aphrodisiac ingredient at any time.
The idea of this successful business came to photographer Justin Price when he discovered that it was not easy to get a delicious ice cream – according to him, “the food that most stimulates the sexual appetite” – late at night in the hot city of Florida .
But Price was not the first to come up with the idea of selling these cold treats as libido boosters. As early as the 16th century, the orgiastic banquets that Catherine de ‘Medici apparently gave to her husband, Henry of Orleans , for the purpose of sexually encouraging him, included delicious creamy ice creams that became fashionable throughout France .
The association between any food and sexual desire has a lot to do with cultural issues. Perhaps everything we can eat has been labeled an aphrodisiac at some time because of its shape, its name or that it contains some component that could be stimulating.
In the case of ice creams, the erotic connotation is in the way of consuming them, the style of licking them, their association with summer and good weather or their form rather than in their ingredients. But also, it is true that the temperature contrast activates the body. This is why these foods, when eaten for that purpose, can increase libido.
If they are also made with elements that are associated with eroticism, such as chocolate or other sweets, it is easy to attribute them exciting properties.In fact, a study by the Chicago Foundation for Research and Treatment of Smell and Taste confirmed these characteristics in ice cream vanilla.
According to the authors of the research, this tasty and pleasant spice is able to increase the blood flow to the penis. Also, the calcium in ice cream can help you experience more intense orgasms.
