Coconut Oil for Your Love Life

2013-02-01T09:20:00.003-08:00

Coconut oil (the extra-virgin unrefined variety) is an essential staple in the aphrodisiac kitchen. Its uses are virtually endless and its health benefits are too. Books have been written on the subject, so here I’ll stick to ours: SEX! As a natural lubricant, coconut oil is my favorite. It is effective without interrupting the vagina’s natural flora. A little goes a long way, so that tub you purchase will last a long, long while- which is fine, because coconut oil has a nearly interminable shelf life. Coconut oil gives the body an immediate energy boost, so you may wish to add it to a smoothie before sex. For an even more potent energy boost, mix a tablespoon of coconut oil with a tablespoon of soaked chia seeds. Massages are lovely ways to relax, while boosting the immune system and fostering intimacy. Coconut oil by itself is a nice massage oil. Anytime you cook with oil, coconut oil is a safe bet due to its high smoking point. Ladies- regular application of coconut oil has been known to banish cellulite! Invest in a tub of extra-virgin, unrefined coconut oil. You won’t be disappointed!
