Food Play and Intimacy: 7 Ways to Play With Your Food

Food play and intimacy have always been a deliciously tantalizing combination. From sensual bites of chocolate to playful whipped cream tales, incorporating food into your intimate moments can elevate your connection, awaken your senses, and add a touch of adventure.

Motivation

During a recent lifestyle vacation, we had the unique experience of enjoying a beautiful model covered with delectable treats. Guests at this special dinner and “dessert” were encouraged to partake by eating the treats directly off her. Always seizing an opportunity, we asked her which spot she preferred we eat from. Without moving from her pose, she picked a piece, looked toward Ember, and whispered, “Right here,” placing it in her mouth as an enticing invitation. Meanwhile, Steven enjoyed a few treats that were strategically placed, savoring the moment. And the motivation for this post was born.

Whether you’re dipping your toes into food play or looking for new ideas, this post will help you explore the intersection of taste and touch in the sexiest of ways.

Why Food Play?

Food play is more than just a fun teaser, it’s about engaging all your senses and deepening your bond with your partner.

• Taste and Smell: The flavors and aromas of food can heighten arousal.

• Texture: Silky, sticky, or cool. Different textures add variety to your experience.

• Temperature: Warm or cold foods can create exhilarating sensations on the skin.

• Playfulness: Food play invites laughter and experimentation, breaking the ice (or using it) in intimate moments.

1. Start Simple with Sensual Snacks

Ease into food play with bite-sized indulgences that are easy to share:

• Chocolate-Covered Strawberries: A timeless, romantic treat perfect for feeding each other.

• Grapes or Berries: Pop them into each other’s mouths to spark connection.

• Honey or Syrup: Drizzle it lightly on lips or necks for sweet kisses.

2. Experiment with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Sauce

These classics are popular for a reason: they’re playful, delicious, and easy to clean.

• Create edible designs on each other’s bodies and take turns “cleaning up.”

• Use them as a garnish for a romantic dessert before moving to more intimate areas.

3. Explore Temperature Play with Food

Incorporating temperature into food play can heighten sensations.

• Ice Cubes: Use them to trace your partner’s body or cool down heated moments.

• Warm Drinks: Sip warm tea or coffee and let the heat transfer through kisses or orally stimulate erogenous zones on the body.

• Melted Chocolate: Gently drizzle over the body for a warm, sticky sensation (keep it cool enough to avoid burns!).

4. Use Food as a Massage Tool

Combine the sensuality of touch with the indulgence of food.

• Use a peeled banana or cucumber for gentle strokes on the skin.

• Apply edible massage oil for a slippery, tasty rubdown.

• Chill fruit slices and glide them across warm skin for a cooling effect.

5. Turn the Table into a Canvas

Transform your partner’s body into an artistic platter:

• Sushi Spread: Embrace the elegance of body sushi, arranging rolls on safe-to-eat surfaces like leaves or plates.

• Fruit Art: Use thinly sliced fruit to create shapes and patterns before indulging.

• Dessert Display: Garnish with whipped cream, berries, and edible flowers for a treat that’s almost too beautiful to eat.

6. Themed Food Play Nights

Take food play to the next level with a dedicated theme:

• Chocolate Lovers Night: Include fondue, truffles, and cocoa-infused kisses.

• Tropical Paradise: Think coconuts, pineapples, and chilled drinks for a vacation vibe.

• Breakfast in Bed: Pancakes, syrup, and a side of sensual play, need we say more?

7. Clean-Up Can Be Fun Too

Part of the charm of food play is the clean-up process:

• Use warm, damp towels or washcloths to gently cleanse each other.

• Take it to the shower for a playful rinse-off that might lead to round two.

Safety Tips for Food Play

• Stick to Skin-Safe Foods: Avoid anything spicy, sticky in sensitive areas, or prone to causing allergic reactions.

• Keep It External: Never insert foods into the body to avoid infections or complications.

• Clean Surfaces: Use clean sheets, towels, or surfaces to maintain hygiene.

• Know Your Partner’s Allergies: Always check for any food allergies beforehand.

Conclusion: Savor Every Moment

Food play is about blending taste, touch, and connection in a way that’s uniquely yours. Whether you’re indulging in chocolate kisses, exploring temperature play, or transforming your partner into an edible masterpiece, the goal is to have fun and deepen your intimacy.

Pro Tip: As with many aspects of sexuality and intimacy, don’t be afraid to get a ‘little’ dirty. A little planning ahead goes a long way. Nothing a little water proof blanket can’t help with.
