Instead of the usual flowers, I decided to opt for a more intriguing activity: For Play Couple\u2019s Chocolates. These aren\u2019t your run-of-the-mill sweet treats \u2013 no Cadbury\u2019s or Dairy Milk here. These chocolates are crafted with what the makers call ‘sex science.’ Yes, you read that right. Stay with me.<\/p>\n These chocolates are specifically designed to heighten your senses and elevate romantic experiences. Dark chocolate, the base , is already well-known for its aphrodisiac qualities. Packed with antioxidants and caffeine, it promotes better blood flow, which is key to improving physical responsiveness. It also contains L-arginine, an amino acid that has been linked to enhanced sexual responsiveness. In fact, a 2021 review found that \u2018L-arginine, as part of a combination product, may be considered for the treatment of women with a lack of or very low sexual desire.\u2019 Not bad for a piece of chocolate, right?<\/p>\n But it\u2019s not just the dark chocolate doing the heavy lifting here. These chocolates are infused with a lineup of ingredients specifically chosen for their libido-boosting and mood-enhancing properties. For example, the \u2018Her\u2019 chocolates contain Ashwagandha, an ancient herb revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to boost libido and revitalise sexual wellness. On the other hand, the \u2018His\u2019 chocolates include Maca, a Peruvian root vegetable traditionally used to enhance stamina and promote overall sexual well-being.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s not all. Both versions contain Fenugreek, an ancient herb that has been linked to enhanced libido and sexual vitality for both men and women. There\u2019s also Korean red ginseng, a prized Asian root and adaptogen commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to support sexual function. Together, these ingredients apparently create a powerhouse of natural stimulants, designed to make your libido surge.<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] With so much promise packed into these chocolates, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if they\u2019d live up to the hype. I had to find out for myself. To make the experience extra special, my partner and I booked a stay at the Sanderson Hotel, just off Oxford Street, as part of their Valentine\u2019s Day package, \u2018From London With Love at Sanderson.\u2019 The package included the For Play Couple\u2019s Chocolates and intimacy-enhancing play cards (think We\u2019re Not Really Strangers, but with a sexy twist), plus breakfast in bed and a bottle of d\u2019Estoublon ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n A glamorous hotel with a massive bed in the centre of the room? Check. A bottle of wine? Check. The mood was already perfectly set. Following the instructions, we each ate one chocolate and waited the recommended hour to see if their effects would kick in. As for the taste, it was\u2026 fine. Not the best chocolate I\u2019ve ever had, but far from the worst. Considering the herbal ingredients packed in, I was pleasantly surprised they didn\u2019t taste overly medicinal, which had been a concern.<\/p>\n The hour-long wait, though, wasn\u2019t ideal for maintaining the mood. To pass the time, we played the Sanderson\u2019s Monopoly set and ended up watching David Attenborough \u2013 not exactly the height of seduction, but it kept us entertained. If I try these chocolates again, I\u2019ll factor in the hours wait a little better – monopoly isn\u2019t the sexiest game, by all accounts.<\/p>\n Once the hour had passed, I did notice some effects. I felt… looser? Kind of like the sensation after a long soak in a hot bath, or the relaxation you get from using CBD oil. But did the chocolates really work? That\u2019s harder to say. Ultimately, we\u2019d planned on eating the chocolates \u2013 and, I assume, most people who buy them have a similar intention \u2013 so the decision to be intimate was already there. However, what they undeniably brought was an added element of fun and experimentation to the evening. Placebo or not, they worked.<\/p>\n All in all, For Play Couple\u2019s Chocolates are a great Valentine\u2019s Day gift if you\u2019re struggling with what to buy your partner, or want something fun and sexy that isn\u2019t tacky (much better than fluffy handcuffs). The packaging is chic and discreet. However, if you\u2019re dealing with a more serious issue like low libido, these chocolates won\u2019t work miracles \u2013 that\u2019s a conversation to have with your GP. But for a helping hand in setting the mood and making the night a bit more adventurous? They do the trick. The intimacy cards were a particularly enjoyable addition, adding some extra spice to the night.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] The sexual wellness industry has seen a significant surge in recent years, evolving into a multi-billion-dollar market. According to a report by Grand View Research, the global sexual wellness market was valued at $80.4 billion in 2022, with its growth fuelled by increasing awareness of sexual health, the normalisation of discussions around pleasure, and the proliferation of inclusive products catering to diverse needs and identities. It\u2019s no wonder that libido-boosting products are on the rise \u2013 or that chocolates have now been given a wellness makeover.<\/p>\n This Arousal Serum promises to take things up a notch, whether you\u2019re flying solo or with a partner. Packed with all-natural, vegan ingredients, it\u2019s designed to heighten sensation and intensify pleasure.
