ICE CREAM
According to scientists with nothing better to do, ice cream tastes best when it’s warmed up to room temperature. A thin coat of ice cream on your tongue warms up faster and more evenly than a fat spoonful. If anyone complains about you erotically licking your gelato at Capo, just tell them you’re “maximizing flavor.”
NUTELLA
Chocolate is sensual. No shit. Unfortunately, truffles are the epitome of “a moment on the lips.” But Nutella is both versatile and sexy. Licking Nutella will draw out the pleasurable moment and prolong the release of dopamine.
GUACAMOLE
Licking is a perfectly good way to eat guacamole. Anyone who’s ever had more guac than chips knows it. Avocados are packed with vitamin E, which can help stimulate and regulate sexual energy levels for couples. If you’re having Mexican food for Valentine’s Day dinner, make sure you order a heaping bowl of guac to go. And if you want to be a tease, look deep in your lover’s eyes and whisper “guac is extra.” Yum.
EXCEPTION: POPSICLES
Even though you’ll look like an uncivilized fuck, biting instead of licking your popsicle will make it taste better. Biting lets you enjoy those fruit–filled popsicles without awkwardly licking the fruit pieces, and the quicker you eat the popsicle, the less chance it’ll melt in your hand. Plus, the blunt end of a bitten popsicle is great for kinky nipple play.
