Angel Rios is our lively tips and trixxx maven at Horny.net.

I'm the type of girl who's always down for the occasional roll in the hay, or sand or snow -- whatever happens to be around. But some people may require an extra "nudge" in the right direction every now and then. Take for instance Tom, my fuck buddy from payroll. He's probably the sexiest guy in the whole company: great tan, six pack abs and full pouty lips he uses in all the right ways. Two sexy people hooking up in the bathroom at work is nothing out of the ordinary, at least not in my world, but it's more than just coincidence that one minute Tom is busily working at his desk, and the next he is overcome with the urge to slide his hand up my skirt.



I like to think the reason for his sudden urges is a little secret weapon I like to call the modern day aphrodisiac (well I also like to think flaunting my DD's every chance I get helps). Only in Webster's dictionary is the aphrodisiac a little stiff -- "an agent that arouses or is held to arouse sexual desire" -- but generally, the aphrodisiac is all about making others stiff, and it must be doing something right. These tricks, on my short list coming up, have been used for centuries to enhance sex drive. Montezuma supposedly drank goblets full of chocolate to keep his libido ablaze. It was and still is an old wives tale that cacao, the bean used to make chocolate, gets people in the mood for some action.

Scientists have proven that there is something to the tale, because chocolate contains a chemical called phenyl ethylamine, which emulates our body's own endorphins to give us a feeling of excitement and euphoria. So why shouldn't it help someone along on the road to horny, given the right circumstances (oh, say, a voluptuous co-worker gliding in front of your desk)? And Tom thinks I'm just being nice when I offer him the "extra" chocolate croissant the guy at Starbucks put in my bag this morning. Share the love, I say!

I know what you're thinking; chocolate is the oldest trick in the book. That’s why everyone gives it on Valentines Day, right? Well, here are a few less obvious suggestions you may not have thought of:

Pumpkin and Lavender: I know it sounds strange, but this combination has also been supported by scientific testing. Some research has found increase blood flow to the male genitals when this concoction is smelled or eaten. Since it's the holiday season, why not use your baking skills to help you get a little action. Try finding a good recipe for pumpkin tarts, then just add a pinch of lavender (find it in the herb section at the supermarket) into the mix, as well as on top, for some extra aromatics. Remember, just a little or the scent will be too strong! When it comes to sexy subterfuge, subtlety is all. By adding zest to the traditional pumpkin pie recipe, you can enjoy all that "gratitude" for the pumpkin without reminding him of Thanksgiving at Grandma's house. (Let's face it, if the thought of hearing about Uncle Larry's bladder problems over mashed potatoes and gravy gives him a boner, what he needs is therapy, not sex!)

Black Licorice:
While looking to see what stealth tactics other adventurers might use, I found a really great article on Medicinenet.com which suggests the smell and taste of black licorice. They claim it really sets the ladies on fire because it increases blood flow to the vagina, getting them all nice and warmed up for ya! Next time you take in a movie, skip the popcorn and go straight for the Good n' Plenty, and maybe she'll be up for a little "playtime" afterwards. Since I couldn't get over the fact that I can't stand black licorice in order to become the lovely test girl for this theory, I'll have to take the experts' word for it. But if you try this trick, report back in the "Comments" and let us know how it worked out!

Strawberries: They look sexy and you can draw attention to your lips while eating them. But did you know that strawberries not only increase blood flow to all the right areas, but the scent makes men think about sex? When I have a "friend" over and want to take his attention away from the TV, I whip up some chocolate dipped strawberries then take a syringe and inject some white wine or champagne into them for a little extra oomph. It takes no more than 15 minutes to do, and this technique hasn't failed me yet!

Wine: OK, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out booze makes people want to have sex. But if you're looking for an all night sex fest as opposed to a drunken five minute romp, limit yourself to two or three glasses MAX! It's just enough to get you both warmed up and relaxed, without you falling off the couch or bed and making an ass out of yourself while trying your best moves.

Vanilla: This is another comforting scent, and according to another great website, gourmetsleuth.com, that friendly scent of vanilla increases feelings of lust! Vanilla is easy to find in many delicious treats, so just stick with the ones you personally find sexy. If licking on an ice cream cone sounds hot to you, then maybe a trip to Coldstone is in order on the way back to your place! Or try some good ol' scented candles when you get there. I found a vanilla birthday cake scented candle at Target, a scent that several websites claim men love, and now I constantly have male co-workers hovering over my desk, telling me it smells like cake and ice cream. I guess the saying is true, the way to a man's hard is through his stomach.

Honey: Honey is obviously sexy in its appearance and texture. That sultry shade of amber and sticky sweetness in all the right ways makes honey a lickable treat, especially when its drizzled atop a pair of soft breasts or washboard abs. But did you know that in ancient Egypt, honey was put in food and drinks to set the mood? That is how we got the term “Honeymoon.” To get that same effect without the old ball and chain (or with them, whatever!) try drizzling apple slices with honey for a low effort sweet treat. Or for an extra lusty libation go for some honey wine! (www.HoneyWine.com)

Cologne: Tickle a woman's sense of smell with some good, fresh smelling cologne (NOT cheap cologne or anything spicy that will burn the inside of her nose please!). I know this sounds a little cliché, but I swear it works! For me, there's just something about a guy that smells good that makes me wanna rip his clothes off with my teeth. Tom from Payroll wears Cool Water, and every time I caress his neck with my lips I catch a whiff and it drives me crazy! Hugo Boss, Aqua de Gio and Ralph Lauren Blue are also good ones to try.

Just know that everyone is different, so if one of these suggestions doesn't work for you, don't get discouraged. Do some experimenting of your own with these items and have fun with it. And if you find something real hot -- let us know in the "Comments" section.

To me, anything that can lead to getting some good sex is worth a try!
