Whilst preparing a fruit salad the other day, I was totally mesmerized cutting up the fruit, noticing how beautifully vibrant it was, with the many colours and textures so delightful to my eyes. I posted a photo to social media of some vulva-reminiscent strawberries asking if I was the only person to find fruit sexy. I got a heap of comments from friends agreeing that there is nothing sexier than a piece of nature’s sweet juicy goodness. As well as feeling grateful for knowing (really strange) people who see fruit the same way I do, it was obvious that there is something erotic about food if we choose to notice. It really is a pleasurable experience to eat a delicious meal, a delight for our senses if you will, and it got me thinking about the role of food in sexual play.

A while back a friend showed me a sex documentary series exploring a range of different sexual quirks and fetishes happening behind closed doors. I recall my absolute joy watching a couple who were involved in an activity called sploshing, a fetish I would sum up as erotic food fighting (Or trifle preparation gone wrong!).

What Is Sploshing?

Sploshing, also known as Wet and Messy fetish, is a form of sexual fetishism whereby a person becomes aroused when copious amounts of a substance are applied to the naked skin, face, or to clothing. Sploshing can involve playing with a range of different ingredients, with many foods such as custard, cream, chocolate sauce and ice cream commonly used. As well as food, sploshing can also involve substances such as lubricant, mud, paint, oil and lotion.

Sensation play is a large appeal with sploshing, with the textures of the food or substances used throughout creating a unique sensory experience. The visual aspect of this fetish is also a source of turn on for a lot of people involved, especially when substances of different colours and consistencies are applied to one’s body.

Why Do People Love Sploshing

The couple in the documentary used only food during their sploshing experience, with a smorgasbord full of delectable desserts laid out on a large table ready to be used. They then took to pouring the food over each other in between kissing and rubbing up against each other, with a playfulness that was so infectious I could not stop laughing.

Here are some of my favourite quotes;

“Vanilla pudding feels like sugary silk in my hand” “When she hits me with the cherries, it feels cool and I get excited” “Where am I going to put the chocolate sauce? Am I going to put it on her head, is it going to drizzle down her breast? I don’t know…”

I love how inventive people can be with sex and I really admire those who claim their fetishes proudly. In a world of comparison and judgemental projections for being anything other than “normal” it is amazing to see people who show the world what turns them on. Despite it being so unusual, I found it so entertaining to watch and really honoured their willingness to reveal their quirky fetish.

I find it so beautiful to see people like this couple expressing themselves and sharing an experience with each other where they both totally accept and adore one another because of their mutual desires. I think there really needs to be more of this curiosity and willingness to experiment with sex. There’s a whole world of sexual possibilities if we dare to step into it and open our minds – Just come into an Oh Zone Adult Lifestyle Centre and see for yourself!

Bringing Food Into Sexual Play

Bringing food into sexual play doesn’t have to mean you go all out with a table full of food like the couple in the documentary. Starting small with foods like whipped cream, strawberries or Heavenly Nights Chocolate Body Paint is an approachable taste test to this unique fetish. Turn it into a fun and playful time with a partner and enjoy eating dessert off their body!

Alternatively, flavoured lubricants can be a simple and fun introduction to Sex+Food play, minus the mess that food sploshing can cause. System JO have an incredible range of personal lubricants that are flavoured, with The Gelato Range consisting of the most delicious flavours including Hazelnut Espresso and Salted Caramel. These can be great for people who are not so fond on the idea of food in the bedroom but nonetheless want to enjoy something tasty.

When playing with food and different substances during sploshing, it is important to use certain safety precautions to avoid any nasty accidents from occurring. Make sure that if applying any substances to the genital area, a condom is worn by men so as not to get food in the urethra. Women should be careful of this also, as well as certain foods disrupting the p.H balance of the vagina. Wearing underwear can create a barrier for food reaching these intimate areas.

As for fruit in the bedroom, I will leave you with this very exciting video of how you can use grapefruit to spice things up with a male lover!!
