Speaking of Food and SexThe language we use to describe sex and food is very similar. In The Rituals of Dinner (p. 18), food anthropologist Margaret Visser describes a meal as a ritual in which “desires are aroused and fulfilled.” We speak of fat, in particular, with sexual connotation—words like “juicy,” “tender,” “satisfying,” “greasy,” “soft,” “great mouth-feel.” In popular culture, the semantic commonality and double entendres are even more pronounced. A T-shirt sold in New Orleans, for example, displays a picture of a Louisiana oyster with the words “Eat me raw” (Schell, p. 203). The pages of women’s magazines are largely filled with articles on food or sex with a typical headline reading “The Next Best Thing to Sex is . . . Chocolate.” Advertising plays on sensuality in promoting acquisition of food products.
