NatureBee - Honeybee Pollen Love Shake

Mr Average Male thinks about sex every seven minutes. That’s approximately 1,435 times a week. And how often is he actually getting sex? On average about 2-3 times a week. Looking at this ratio, it doesn’t take a Rhodes scholar to figure out that supply is not meeting demand here. So how can you bump up the supply a little? It’s easy. Grab a trolley and go shopping. Yes, that’s right. The supermarket – the one place you will find that special food to put you (and your partner) in the mood.

The apple has long been considered an aphrodisiac, ever since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and rolled around lustfully in the grass. And much later, the phallic shapes of the banana, asparagus, corn and carrot were believed to have the same effect as were the testicular shapes of the fig and the avocado. Of course, if it were true – we would all want to be vegans and fruitarians wouldn’t we? Still, put them in your trolley anyway. Besides being good for you, anything phallic seen in your trolley on singles night at Woolworth's Neutral Bay may get you more than a dinner invitation!

Seriously though, according to Dr Morton Walker, author of Sexual Nutrition, there are a variety of nutrients found in food that can and do contribute to heightened sexual activity. The most common being fish (in ancient times, priests were forbidden to eat it), oysters, lobster, crab, truffles (high in protein & phosphorous), eggs (Vitamin A helps production of sex hormones), lecithin (promotes secretion of sex hormones) royal jelly and honey (therapeutically beneficial in treating impotence and frigidity). However, by far the most sexually nutritious and complete food in existence is Honeybee pollen. Muhammed Ali lived on it in his heyday, the Finnish Olympic Team use it regularly as do many American Olympic stars.
So for all you enterprising Lotharios - get out the body oils and silk scarves and make this Honeybee Pollen Love Shake (below) a part of you and your partner’s breakfast ritual! (© Nadia Purser 2001)
