In response to some positive feedback on this forum pertaining to the use of cocoa extract, I picked up a bottle. My girlfriend was there with me when I opened it up, and was surprised that it really smells like chocolate. As I understand it, there is a chemical in chocolate, with a higher potency on females than males, which functions as somewhat of an aphrodisiac, or is at least implicated in the neurochemistry of "love".
As my girlfriend is always keen to ingest anything related to chocolate, she asked me for one (500mg cap). Well, to make a long story short, after about 30 minutes my girlfriend became unusually affectionate, showering me with praise and professions of her deep love for me.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Yea, I had a similar experience with your girlfriend once, I took a piece of chocolate and ... then she ... [OK, I'll put away the Catskill comedian]. I'm glad you found some catnip for your sweetie pie. I did once know a very sensual woman with a definite lust for chocolate. As far as the other post and cheese, pickles, etc having more PEA than chocolate and whether the PEA in chocolate passes the brain-blood barrior and actually has an effect, I don't know. Perhaps, it is the other qualities of chocolate that have an effect, as well - the creaminess, the texture, the special treat associations, the sugar. But if the pill works than perhaps there is something to the neurochemistry.
Been meaning to research chocolate and it's extracts someday, just never get around to it.
Interested in any experts out there weighing in, though.
