Food and sex have both been a structure of all mankind and the basis of life since the beginning of time. No one should have the power of deciding how much is “good, “ and what amount is “bad.” Especially when it is normal and substantial to life. Without sex no one would be here, without food we would die. Why are people shamed by society and made to feel inferior for eating or performing sex acts with a partner. Who determines how much sex or food is “too much.” Of course we need a certain amount of calories to live and so our body can function, but who determines how much sex is “not enough” for a person. Just because some person in a lab coat pulls a magic number from a hat, should not make that number written in stone for everyone. Food is its own “sex” and should not be treated as anything different. Both are needed to fuel the body,and both are wanted as a leisure.Food can be described as very sexual, but it seems food has its own term. Lets use the term....”foodual,” to describe the amazing-ness of food. Similar to “sex”ual, except with food as it seems food is just as much a turn on as sex is.
Food and sex have a huge role in our existence both logically and spiritually. however, some people believe to be spiritual a person must weigh less, as weight is a factor of how happy or sad someone is. Although some people may eat more depending on how he or she is feeling, this is simply not true. Extra weight does not make a person depressed , society’s views on people with extra weight makes him or her sad. We need to change the idea that fat=sad that thin=happy and vice versa. Just like sex, food has numerous deities dedicated to it. Sex is worshiped in numerous cultures and food is brought to the gods and goddess as a sacrifice for the harvest. In numerous traditions, festivals are celebrated by eating large amounts of food. Numerous Wiccans holidays are based on wanting to ensure a good harvest for the upcoming months and the great harvest that they encountered. In Hinduism, food, which is called “prasada,” is often offered to the gods and goddesses See also: Sacred Sexuality @ CalmMind Open Heart

Kitchen/bedroom=romance
Sex and baking/cooking food is a beautiful act between two people who are showing their love for each other through expression. It is a way couples show their love for each other, through the act of sharing a bonding moment together in the kitchen or in the bedroom. Putting together a dish can be very sensual and arousing if done together as a couple. Cooking /baking together can be just as rewarding as cuddling together because of the intimate moment that is shared between the both of them. Cooking/ baking and cuddling, along with hugging and kissing helps couples feel closer to one another. Cooking/baking together is fun and enjoyable together. It bring laughter, and sharing food is very intimate and lovely.
Toys
Cooking/baking and sexual acts both have “toys” as well that couples, or single people use. Sex toys and cookware are both used to assist a need of gratification. They are fun to use, and help out when hands are not enough. Similarly, they each aid a person’s need (or want) to eat or to have sex.
Cooking/ baking and sex bring couples together through the act of showing love and expressing that love for one another. Eating before or after sex is often done to express gratitude towards each other and because food is so sensual. Food is often known as an aphrodisiac as it usually leads to sex; however, food can be as sexual as intercourse by itself.
“But fat is so unhealthy”
Actually, the exercise director of ShapeUpAmerica, Steven N Blair is fat He promotes exercise and a healthy diet. Healthy diet does not always mean less, just making healthier food choices. If you go to Chunkealthy Life there are tons of recipes for “healthy” “junk” food and healthier options for foods such as fries, chips, doughnuts, There are plenty of studies that show otherwise;therefore that argument is wrong and invalid. People who use that argument is like a racist using “The Bell Curve” as “proof” that anyone who isn’t Caucasian steals and are criminals.

There must be something wrong with someone if they have sex all of the time
A polygamous relationship is recognized and many people love more than one person rather than one.polyamory is just another form of how people love that is other than monogamous. Who said we had to be monogmous? Who said people couldn’t be monogamous? Each person knows his or her own body, heart and mind and knows what is best for them in the bedroom. An avoid ant attachment style(link to attachment styles on cmoh) could also prevent a person from wanting to make a commitment, which is okay. Why commit to a relationship if a person does not feel like it due to culture and society’s pressure? Because it’s the norm? Who says? Although it has a bad reputation, pologamy (not Warren Jeffs) has been practiced for many years, just like monogamy.
