The word Honey stands for a golden sweet food
substance made by the honeybee. The honeybee is an insect.
But do you know that in many cultures honey has been
known as an aphrodisiac?
Galen – the Greek physician of Roman emperor Marcus
Aurelius recommended that honey be taken at bedtime as a sexual stimulant.
European folklore says that an old French wives tale,
believes a bee sting was supposedly like being given a shot of pure
aphrodisiac.
Since honey is easily digested and a source of immediate
energy this must be the reason the doctor ordered it.
Honey contains boron, which may regulate hormone
levels, and nitric oxide, which is released in the blood during arousal. It's
also a symbol of fertility and procreation in some cultures.
However, I am sure the main reason honey is considered
an aphrodisiac is because it has been used as a sort of sexual anointment used
in oral sexual practices. Use your imagination,
you’ll soon get the picture.
It has been said that the best honey comes from Hymettus,
a mountain near Athens. Honey has been collected here since ancient times.
And finally, we
all know that the word honeymoon stems from the hope for a sweet
marriage.
Now there you have it honey, a strange but sweet
natural aphrodisiac!
