Erotica is not just in paintings, sculptures and other forms of art. Just take a closer look and you will find that the world is filled with articles of erotic nature. Fruits, flowers, vegetables, the birds and the bees...all have an erotic symbolism that's unique and personal.

Sexy Fruits
Fruits are considered highly erotic, sometimes due to their suggestive shape or because of their aphrodisiac properties. Apples, apricots, bananas, cherries, coconut, you name them and they have eroticism related to them. Strawberries and raspberries are even referred to as nippled fruits.

Erotic Vegetables
Vegetables like asparagus, carrots, celery, corn, cucumbers, carrots, eggplant and several other phallic-shaped vegetables have long been prized for their aphrodisiac properties.

Love & Dining
Taste has a direct link with the erotic - which is why forking food from a lover's plate or feeding fruits to each other is often portrayed as sexual imagery. Champagne is the king of aphrodisiac spirits and a glass of sparkling wine is equally sexy. Romantic dinners and dates are considered a prelude to sex - and in gourmet parlance, certain desserts are even called 'orgasmic'!

Sensual Flowers
Flowers with exposed stigma as an invitation to the bees are also considered sensual and erotic. The colourful blooms of magnolia, columbine, peony and nasturtium are often portrayed in erotic art. The heady fragrance of most tropical flowers - like the jasmine and ylang ylang are also sexually arousing.

Sex in Nature
Tree trunks in suggestive shapes, insects feeding on flowers and mating birds are erotic images that have caught the fancy of most artists. Bulls, snakes, stallions and the rooster - are known for their sexual prowess and are sexual symbols too.

Inviting Body Language
Sensual body movements are highly suggestive. They convey a wide range of emotions. Shaking of the hips, twitching lips and languid postures are not just erotic dance movements - but are very much a part of flirting and wooing.
