Seeds

‘They’re an aphrodisiac, seriously dahling’ said S as I rotated around her during one of our revision sessions. Pumpkin seeds were the topic of discussion as she nibbled on the excuses-for-food one by one.

‘Oh really?’ I replied, ‘I thought they were what plump girls ate to make them feel better about themselves.

‘No dahling. They’re an aphrodisiac.’

How precisely are you able to think about cock whilst in the thick of revision?’ I asked.

‘Oh I think about all of that much more than I should.’

‘So, anyways, run me through corporation tax will you?’


Needless to say, I don’t for a second believe that seeds and nuts of any variety are an aphrodisiac of any sort. They are an entrepreneur’s dream that’s what they are. Somebody saw seeds, small and dainty as they are and decided to churn out a rumour as to their healthy/sexy nature. A seed is a seed is a seed.

This belief didn’t however stop me from googling the allegations mind.

Looks as though Google doesn’t quite agree with me.
