We always knew chocolate was sexy. And according to Italian researchers, women who eat chocolate every day show higher levels of desire than women who don’t. As a couple, you’ll want to make sure your chocolate needs are covered (or that you’re covered in chocolate) in every stage of your relationship.
First Date: No matter how well things go over dinner, making a good impression all depends on dessert. Sweeten the pot at Dip, a trendy Murray Hill lounge serving wine, cocktails, and sweet and savory fondues. Share the warm Peanut Butter Cup Fondue, made with semisweet Belgian chocolate, peanut butter, and roasted peanuts, and you’ll both bubble over with desire. When the night heats up, pick up a Fondue for Two set at Chocolate Bar in the West Village so you can relive the fun at home.
Third Date: Satisfy your dual desires with food plus foreplay. Swing by sex shop Babeland in the Lower East Side or SoHo for some chocolate treats, and then get creative. Get in touch with your artistic side with the creamy Chocolate Body Sauce, and paint on layer after layer of fun. Or maybe you need a lighter touch? Then tickle and tease with the feathery brush of the Shunga Chocolate Body Paint. Either way, you’ll get to make your mark on each other – and then lick it off.
Commitment: With so many nights of pleasure before you, it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. With Chocolate All Year Long from award-winning chocolatier Jacques Torres, a new selection of treats will arrive on your doorstep every month. Enjoy the rush of the AM Quickie Bar, linger over a huge box of champagne truffles, or explore your dark side with the Wicked Ways. This chocolate lover’s dream will make you both dream lovers.
