The Courtesan Cooks

Give it up for the big O, and I don't mean Oprah. Achieving an orgasm is like winning first prize. It is a goal most of us plan to achieve when we are having sex with our partners. The following are positions that will give you an orgasm to remember. Just as a side note, if you do not have an orgasm during sex, there is nothing wrong with you. You will not have an orgasm every time, so just enjoy and have fun.

Lotus Style - This tantric position is very similar to the good old missionary position, except it requires eye contact and body-to-body contact. Simply sit your lover down with his legs crossed. As you face him, straddle his legs and seductively lower yourself on his lap. Hold on girl, no penetration just yet. Slow your roll and wrap your legs around the side of his torso, so they're hugging his sexy bottom. Now it's all good, so hold each other's arms as he enters you. Rock steady back and forth together, increase your speed as you come closer to climaxing.

Lap Dance - Give a good lap dance and your partner will thank you for weeks, but if that lap dance takes a turn into hot passionate loving you will be crowned a true Queen. Wear your sexiest lingerie and play some seductive tunes. Use a tall-backed padded chair and then straddle him as you lean back. Tease and play as you slowly begin to extend your legs, one at a time, until your ankles are resting on his shoulders. Proceed with intercourse. You go girl!

Gone Fishin' - This move is one of a woman's favorites when done correctly. This position can curl the toes like no other. When your lover goes down on you and spends quality time on your vagina, it is a very intimate process. Make sure that you are communicating with your partner when something that they are doing is totally doing it for you. Also, guide him in the direction that you want him to go so that he gets you off just the way you like it.

Unison - This is great for a simultaneous orgasm. The key to this position is slowing down and enjoying each other. Take the time to kiss and caress each other during intercourse. Have him sit down in a low chair with his legs relaxed. Facing your man, then straddle him with your feet on the floor. Slowly lower yourself onto his penis. Slowly let just the tip of his penis enter you, and then lower yourself inch by inch until you're allowing him full entry.

Shower Power - They don't show sexy shower scenes in movies for nothing. Shower sex is one fine time. The water can actually bring extra power to the man's thrust. Stand directly under the showerhead, make sure the water is running, and you are standing where it hits the point of entry. Now lean forward, keeping your back straight and your hands on your thighs. Your partner should stand behind you, holding your waist as he enters you.

Butterfly - This is one sensual and sexy position. Everything has to be aligned between you and your partner. A great place for this is where you are the one lying down, and he can stand in front of you. Think kitchen table, counter, desk, or just use your imagination. You have to be able to lift your legs and rest them on his shoulders. Tilt yourself upward so that your pelvis is angled up toward him, and your crotches meet and greet in a delightful way.

I had this aphrodisiac of a little treat last night at a soiree on the Lower East Side. When it touched my tongue it was love at first orgasm. I would not believe it only consisted of three ingredients.

As you know chocolate is a major aphrodisiac and dare I say so is the oreo cookie, so when you put them both together, it is pure bliss!

Whip these up and feed these to your lover in bed, it is sure to get a delicious reaction. If you are single make these for the one you have you eye on, consider them a part of your seduction trap.

Simply sexy and delicious! Got this recipe on Kraft Food, who knew that Kraft could be so scandalously delish!?

Instructions:

Reserve 1/4 cup cookie crumbs. Mix cream cheese and remaining cookie crumbs until blended. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Fall is my favorite time of year it’s flirty, fun, and a great time for change. What is even better is that it’s time for pumpkin. I do a around of applause whenever we enter into the pumpkin season. Pumpkins stir up emotions of security and comfort, which is always nice especially during the holiday season. Plus, pumpkin is downright delicious in bread, muffins, pasta, coffee, and so much more.

There are a few yummy aphrodisiacs in this pumpkin muffin recipe such as vanilla and cinnamon (did you know those are two top smells that turn on men).

Whip up these muffins on a sensual Saturday or a sexy Sunday as a treat to you and your boo or for your fabulous self. They pair wonderfully with a cup of hazelnut coffee or French vanilla coffee and your morning paper or for brunch.

In my Pleasure Playlists my YolandaShoshana TV, I like to add food videos when I can. 

Here is a good one on sexy foods to spark your libido. Check it out and get things rockin and poppin in the boudoir.

I am a huge Francophile, so I love things that have a French flair. I was in food heaven when I was invited to a Cheeses of France pop up store in New York City by Aliah PR. Delicious cheeses and wines were served for foodies to enjoy cheese in different varieties. My favorite nosh that was served up was the macaroni and cheese made with a slew of different cheeses.

Cheese is known for being a luxury and delicacy in Europe making it an aphrodisiac. The French know how to make a delicious and sexy cheese so next time you are looking for a good cheese, go French.

While it would be great to fly off to France, you are able to experience your love of French cheese in the states. The pop up store takes place a few times a year around the county as well as other tasting events throughout the year. If you check out the Cheeses of France website, you can find out about events and where to buy your favorite French cheese.

One of my favorite cheeses at the event was Camembert.  A cheese so creamy and delicious, it is known for being a famous soft French cheese. I scored this Grilled Camembert Sandwich recipe from the Cheeses of France website. Everyone loves a grilled cheese, but imagine a camembert grilled cheese with an aphrodisiac tomato soup. How oh la la, a foodgasm in the making.

Whip this up for your special someone, even if that person is you. Joie de vivre!

Grilled Camembert Sandwiches w/ Tomato Soup

Ingredients:

10 ¼" slices bread 
1/4 cup olive oil 
2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper 
16 ¼" slices Camembert
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil,
1 sliced onion
2 crushed cloves garlic 
2 1/2 pounds cored and chopped tomatoes
12 fresh basil leaves
salt and cayenne pepper 

Directions: 

Sandwiches: Heat olive oil and cracked pepper over low heat. Turn off and let infuse for 10 minutes. Place sliced cheese on half of the bread slices (making sure the cheese comes to the edge of the crust). Place top slice on each sandwich and put them together so they are crust to crust. Cover all the sandwiches with a layer of plastic wrap and place a medium cutting board on top of sandwiches to gently weigh them down for 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, thoroughly brush surface of both faces of the sandwich with the pepper oil. Preheat a Panini griddle on low or a medium sauté pan over low heat. Wipe surface with a little oil. Place sandwiches in griddle or pan and cook until slightly browned, 2 - 3 minutes per side until cheese is melted. Keep heat low so bread doesn't burn.

Tomato soup: Combine olive oil, onion and garlic in medium saucepan and sweat together for about 20 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Add tomatoes and cook another 15 minutes. Add stock and basil leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 20 minutes.

Place soup into a large bowl through a fine strainer or food mill, to remove seeds, skins and basil. Salt and pepper (cayenne) to taste. Serve tomato soup hot with warm sandwiches. Drizzle extra virgin oil over the soup along with a couple small basil tops.

Serves 5

If you haven't added food to your foreplay, it is about time that you do. Food and sex work beautifully together, so cook something up in the boudoir.

Use finger food aphrodisiacs like chocolate, bananas, or strawberries to feed your lover or have him/her feed you. Use chocolate, vanilla, or whipped cream (or whatever flavor you desire) to eat off of each other. Don't forget to also include syrups in the mix. There is an array of aphrodisiacs that are mood enchancers so be creative.

Bringing food into the bedroom can add a whole new erotic and playful experience to your pleasure and play.

I have always been a big fan of DOVE Chocolate, but they have outdone themselves with their Peppermint Bark. Let’s just say, I almost ate the whole package in one sitting.

The Dove Smooth  Dark Chocolate Snowflake PROMISES with Peppermint Bark candy is layers of silky white chocolate with crunchy peppermint candy over Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate. It is nom to the yum!  The candy comes with their famous positive messages on the wrapper which is always a nice touch.

There are two great aphrodisiacs in this luscious candy, peppermint and dark chocolate. As soon as this chocolate hits your tongue, you will experience a burst of flavors that will tingle your senses for an foodgasmic experience!

A quick sexy food tip: Feed these to your lover in bed for additional pleasure in your play during the holidays, it will jingle your bells.  The peppermint is an aphrodisiac that stimulates, while chocolate releases those endorphins.

If you are not into peppermint bark, don’t fret, DOVE also has other seasonal offerings:

Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Snowflake PROMISES, Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate Snowflake PROMISES, and Silky Smooth Chocolate Assortment Snowflake PROMISES.

I give Dove Chocolate Peppermint Bark a major modern courtesan thumbs up; it will be my go to candy for this holiday season. If only I could talk DOVE into making it year round!
