Erotic Properties of The Sensuous Artichoke

In all candor, it was not the intention of 'The Sensuous Artichoke' to extol the aphrodisiac virtues of this astonishing vegetable. But history has looked kindly on the lovable artichoke, and here's a small sample of what will surely capture your attention and delight your friends:

Mythology has it
that the artichoke was spawned from the love of Zeus for a mortal maiden whom he fell in love with. He elevated her to the status of a Goddess and then transformed her into an artichoke.

In 'Sexual Life in Ancient Greece',
Glaucia attributed to the artichoke the property of "being most effective in securing the birth of boys".

In 1568 in Turner's Herbal Treatise we see
"Plinye writeth that thy herb, taken in wine, stirreth up the lust of the body. . .provoketh lust in women."

In 1576, Dr. Bartolomeo Boldo says in his 'Book of Nature':
"it has the virtue of . . . provoking Venus for both men and women; for women making them more desirable, and helping the men who are in these matters rather tardy".

In the year 1665
we see in 'The British Physician' by Robert Turner, "they (artichokes) do mightily stir up lust by increasing seed, and therefore are good for married persons who are weak in the act of generation".
