Red wine increases women's sexual desire

Perhaps if you'd actually deign to read the article you'd see alcohol in general had much less effect than red wine specifically.

Im gonna have to call bullsh** on that.

Why? There are a lot of enzymes in grapes besides the sugars that ferment into alcohol. Same goes for every other adult beverage. My husband can drink bourbon, but scotch gives him wicked allergic reactions. We can both drink white wine but not red for the same reason. Alcohol content has nothing to do with it.

Tre,

I use one bottle of Pinot Noir and 1/2 cup of cognac for my Beef Bourguignon - Ina Garten's recipe. That's enough alcohol for a year.

Yes, but the alcohol burns off during cooking, and apparently so do some of the other noxious enzymes. I have a killer recipe for pork chops, with a red wine, tomato and curry-powder sauce. Red wine in that form doesn't bother us.

People who are prone to migraines (and that's a LOT of people, male and female) usually have an awful reaction to red wine

It's the sulfates... try pseudoephedrine ( sudafed ) before enjoying the wine and then the next morning. Really cuts the chance of a migraine a lot.

As far as the whole question about sexual desire I don't. Lets just make sure that teenagers don't find out about this or they'll be drinking and having sex all the time !

"Lets just make sure that teenagers don't find out about this or they'll be drinking and having sex all the time !" And what a terrible change that would be from the current state of affairs ;-)

;-)

yea.

Don't worry!! I guess teenagers don't need any kind of aphrodisiacs...

As Dorothy Parker famously said, "What a party! One more drink and I'd have been under the host."

Looks like Linda knows the secret, too!

:)

Who said also that garlic is romantic? Ugh.

The thinking of the smell of garlic and booze mixed kill my romantic thoughts.

From my personal experience, there is no aphrodisiac more overrated than wine, and more underrated than a good cup of coffee.

Looks like Linda knows the secret, too!

Me too and it's not a liquid.

I'm all ears. Spill...

High 5's Nearing.

Exactly!

:)

Oh Vis darling......it has nothing to do with ears! ....well....nope.....no ears! :)

Not even a gentle nibble on the lobes, GGM?

Hmm. Mayyyyybe. It all depends.

Vis sorry to ask but are you male or female.

I ask because if you want to know the secret I have to decide which version to tell you.

;)

Oh Yeah....! Close the doors...and drop the draw'ers.... The Wine comes later !

Boys !

Yep the wham bam thank you man the fiver's under the lamp....here's your ripple.

I like my secret better :)

Male but give me both versions and a demonstration

Mother Nature provides.

*grin*

Now Now...Vis....Mother nature most definitely provides...but rarely does it ever give up it's secrets......and neither do I ;)

Besides.....the fun part is in the....oops! You see?!! You almost got me.....now, Vis....behave! ;)

lol.

Grins back at Nearing.

exits the room *whistling and giggling*

Nearing ,

You have shown yourself able to attract all the male attention anyone would want .
Your seed on the NASA hoax thing did the trick .
Are you feeling "stimulated " ?

nonStitiousZealot:

Your seed on the NASA hoax thing did thhe trick .
Are you feeling "stimulated " ?

Certainly.

*grins* back at GGMSusi!

If you send 1 of those grins my way ,
I could send out a "probe" onto your "surface " .

Looks at Nearing.

Did you ever think writing about the moon would get you a proposition like that?!

Uhm, Zealot.......even the moon has boundaries....perhaps you should take a study?

perhaps you should take a study?

study of ?

What are you lasses hiding ?!

Anyway , after that lunar thing , I feel like
laying back and lighting a cigarette even though I don't smoke .

Boundaries darlin', boundaries.

As for what we lasses are hiding..........come now......you don't think I'd tell you that quickly....do you?

LOL!

so exactly what was the name of the wine again?

I wanna make sure to procure all the inventory possible to satisfy all of the ladies

BadBoy......Wine, like ladies, come in many different varieties. Most reds, though, are extremely complex, rich, full-bodied, and with many different layers of flavors. You just don't go to a liquor store and pick one up like a 12-pack of Bud.

Unlike white wines, that you can put in the refrigerator to chill......reds, you let them sit and breathe and relax....and then you sit back and enjoy it taking all that complexity in.

Badboy.........There are Merlots, Bordeaux, Beaujolais, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Chinon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, etc.

Do your research it's very easy to find a type of wine that suits you and your tastes....just like women. :)

The best part of being bad is earning the reputation, I do not discriminate

I love all flavours, from all vineyards

Depends on the season, the continent, the grape and most importantly, the proper aging

There are wines you purchase to enjoy.....they are of the highest quality, they age nicely and are worth the investment. These are the wines you hold on to.

There are wines you buy to just get drunk with or pass the time.

There is much to be said for the quality of the wine as there is for the quality of the investor.

Wow ,

You really know your way around a metaphor .
I'm impressed .

I'm glad you think so.

Question is......do you agree or not?

Let's see if you can figure out a way to impress me.

As with seasons differing wines do have a place. As for the costs, all things are relative. The discerning investor will always value quality as well as investment potential.

As for the more readily available flavours, they too have a place in BadBoy's cellar

quality over quantity will always prove the better.

Btw Zealot :)

Susi ,

How can I not agree with that metaphor .
It covers about every "variety of wine " .
As to impressing you , don't hold your
breath .
You are talking to someone with an Engineering background , not English Lit .

"The divergence of the B field is always identical to 0 "

No , I didn't think that would impress you but that
was J C Maxwell's A game .

"You don't say!"?

Zealot;

I am about as smart with anything having to do with math, physics, engineering, etc. as Sarah Palin is with politics, tact, diplomacy, & geography. So, yes, although I can't say that formulaic equations on a page don't send my heart beat racing up the scale.......it is rather impressive.....and yes, it does impress me. I think creative minds always tend to envy those minds that are analytical like yours is.

Btw, I don't hold my breath......I rather like my light brown skin vs. a cyanotic blue ;)

I will leave all the electromagnetic theorizing to you since it's probably your "A'" game as well.

Me thinks I have rendered Zealot mute. Sigh! ;)

Susi ,

Not mute , just occupied .

And if you're holding your breath till you turn blue
you're doing it much too long !

Sarah Palin should stick to what she excels at , comedy .
Other than writing what do you excel at ?

So, sorry to have interrupted your day.

What do I excel at? Hmm. Boy, is that ever a loaded question! LOL.....just kidding. I suppose you could say my "A" game is anything having to do with being extremely creative.....imaginative.....thinking quickly on my feet and getting to the crux of the matter without a whole lot of fluff. But my biggest achievement is my daughter she's turned out quite the young lady with creative talents that leave her mom smiling from ear to ear.

Anything else you want to hear I guess I'll have to email you LOL! ;) So, kind sir, what bliss do you follow?

Like I said......I don't hold my breath ......I need to work on holding my tongue though.....LOL

So, sorry to have interrupted your day.

We have just met and already you're apologizing ?
I hope that's not what you expect from me !
Do you think that love is having to say you're sorry every 5 minutes ?

I congratulate you on your creative daughter .
Apparently the apple drops close to the tree .
Is she also a writing prodigy ?

Do you believe that opposites can do more than
just attract ?

As far as bliss goes , I get that from doing
slow motion katas and observing excellence
in whatever form it comes in .

Ok then, Zealot or should I rephrase and call you Sensei? :) I take back my apology and hold it in account until it's truly necessary! :)

Do I think that love means to apologize every 5 minutes? For the love of God....HELL NO. As far expecting you to apologize.....uhm.......if you f'up...man up. I'll leave it at that.

Do I believe that opposites can do more than just attract?.....Most definitely. They can polarize, they can destroy, they can reak havoc. But then again, in my experience so can complete commonalities. Besides, opposites pose a lot more fun and challenge than walking around with a mirror in your hip pocket. Opposites, it seems, have more to banter and debate over which adds to the appeal. It can be as slow and methodical as a Kata or as intense as a paso doble. It's that unknown variable that exists between opposites that can make it more enjoyable than frustrating.

As for my daughter, she expresses herself more clearly through her drawing and CGI...but she does know her way around prose. She is my little geisha with a heart of a dragon.

Excellence whether it comes in slowly like kata or quickly like lightning should always be observed.....it will always leave something behind that teaches or at least plants questions in your mind that push to expand on that excellence.

By the way, do you prefer me to continue using your nom de vigne or areyou going to tell me your name?

too funny. "Love does not mean you have to apologize every five minutes."

If you're wrong all the time and realize it, then give I'm Sorry a shot. The movie Love Story is kind of yesteryear.

This has to do with red wine, right?

Feeling is one thing. Reacting another. I never apologize for how I feel. Reaction on the other hand............and that has nothing whatsoever to do with love or any facsimilie thereof.......

LOL

Is in need of some really really strong proofed water right now. LOL! Or maybe just a piece of dark chocolate is better.

Kelan ,

One person's wrong is often another person's "Huh ? "

If a couple each thinks the other is wrong "all the time"
maybe they are with the wrong partner .

And Susi ,

Since we have gotten way off the topic of
red wine , we should continue this privately .
Talk to you later .

Hey Zealot.......You're the one that went to the moon......not me :)

Privately. Hmm. Ok. Privately it is. You have mail.

Drinking red wine right now.

*checking*

Nope, not doing a thing. I'll stick to the tried and true.

*grin*

Just had a glass of red with dinner. Yeah, me either.

Maybe it's because the most 'stimulating' thing that's on the agenda tonight is a 7 pm meeting and then a complete reworking of a project that I thought was finished but someone else had other ideas.

Sigh.

Hmm Zealot.

Zealot -

"If a couple each thinks the other is wrong "all the time"
maybe they are with the wrong partner."

Check.

Susi -

Enjoy! I'll stick with a beer. It is about 100 degrees here. Probably the time to drink water and hydrate but I did that all day long.

Kelan;

Nothing wrong with a cold one either! :) Cheers!

hmmmmmmmmmm

Have something stuck in your mouth Darryl?

:)

nope..... just like hummers

Ah I see.

typical.

TYPICAL

ha.

That will be the day CC

Oh yes it will!

P

But I digress D I like Hummers too.....they're big, roomy and I love to drive them and ride in them.

What kind of Hummer do you have?

What kind of Hummer do you have?

..........a blond, brunette & redhead

huh?

I have found that the brunette hummers are by far the best, 'specially when they smile

Humm...

Whispers P

What about a sense of humor? I go for a man who makes me laugh.

3sheets........funny, that reminds me a song! ;)

Trex a sense of humor is definitely a must!

So is a man who can man up when he F's up! :)

I go for a man who makes me laugh.

Each her own.

Well my ideal man is one who:

1). Has a large bank account.

2). No family.

3). Bad heart.

4). Very old.

5). My name on the will.

We all should have learned something from Anna Nicole Smith.

Or from Jay Geils. "First I look at the purse!"

Trim-Spa Babeeeeeee!

LOL!

So there was this guy in his 60's .
One day he shows up at his country club
with a beautiful blond babe on his arm .
Amazingly , she is hanging on his every word ,
laughing at all of his jokes , etc .

Later on , his friend pulls him aside and tells
him to spill the beans .
"How did you get this to happen ?! "
He said it was simple ; I lied about my age .
Friend : So you told her you were 35 ?

No . I told her I was 90 .

haha

wanna be bad GGMS?

Darlin' I am never bad. :)

If a woman is mean by nature it doesn't take wine to bring it out!

Funny, I've never seen a badger with a headache.....is like a man with an axe to grind?

Probably, badgers are notoriously short tempered. You are probably right about natural disposition too. My expedience with wine and women is rather limited, and given past experience I would like to keep it that way.

Twice bitten, twice shy.

Poor thing. I hope someone comes along to erase all that and you can enjoy life with someone who isn't much of a badger

A migraine will make anyone mean, human or badger. Alcohol will make you madder if you're already mad, or more depressed if you're already depressed.

Migraines just make me crawl under the covers and sleep.

What makes me pissy is when someone starts pawing at me knowing full well that if he keeps at it what he's going to get is a face full of pissed off wench.

Men just never learn do they?

nope

LOL! ooh ah! ah!

Well....one brings pleasure one way.....the other many!

'taint nuthin wrong with bein' a lil bad from time to time.

;)

LindaMarie2

what head we'er descussing...! ( I know, I'm being bad ! )

Well then, I can help you with that!

Leo, surely you can retire to your den, and thumb through all your interesting books, to calm yourself while your imagination runs wild.... cold showers are only temporary Leo !

Shame on us? Ha! Leo....shame on you for admitting you're so easily stimulated over words on a screen ;) If I were you I'd be careful with that showerhead and set it to 'low' LOL!

Uhm.......sure if you sit there and drink the whole damn bottle or more than 1......any liquor is going to give you quite the overhang if you over do it! I could say something else......but I shall behave! :)

hey, don't hold back. I don't drink a whole bottle. In fact, I never drink red wine anymore because no, it does not increase my sexual desire and newsflash: everyone's tolerance for a particular drink, food, whatever...is different.

what increases my sexual desire is a particular human being. I know, so old-fashioned.

Kelan....I don't hold back when it matters :) Time and a place for everything. You aren't old-fashioned. I feel the same way.

Really

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Yes....really.

well then......................

we'll just have to see 'bout that

where's nearing when I need her?

_________.

Hmmmmmmmm

I wonder where that picture is.. probabbly cool some of "wine"ing 'roud here if I could find that

Just hummmmmmmmin away

Oh, I'm sorry Darryl didn't you get my email?

I think you should check and let me know as discussed.

Sorry you missed it.

didn't miss a thing, pretty lady

Okie dokie pokie D

Hmm.....perhaps there is one thing you do miss?
