Today, it's back to subbing. I've got three out of my four couples sorted for the photoshoot on Tuesday so no longer need to spend the bulk of the day looking at pictures of naked people. I know I keep saying it's not as exciting as it sounds but I now have someone else who agrees with me. One of the blokes on the team had to do a piece on porn for men. He was complaining about tit-blindness after a day. And this is not a man one would expect to get bored of looking at naked women easily.
Anyway, am subbing a couple of pieces on aphrodisiacs. Two things surprised me in the piece (which is written by a very highly respected - and lovely - sexpert type).
The food that arouses men most through smell alone includes cinnamon buns, roast meat and cheese pizza. Had never thought of pizza as top aphrodisiac but maybe that explains where all the 'seducing pizza bloke' stories come from.
And there was a very handy list of things that make semen taste nice and nasty. Apparently, these things make for sweet spunk:
Plums, pineapples, oranges, lemons, lines, nectarines, coriander, spearmint, grapefruit, peppermint, parsley, green tea and apple juice.
Whereas the following will make for nasty nad-juice:
Asparagus, chicken, dairy products, red meat, broccoli, garlic, onions, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, fried food, spices, coffee and chocolate.
Other than subbing, I've got a piece of erotica to write (erotica not porn as is for a respectable magazine) and an interview to do for a women's magazine. They're doing a feature on my mum and I. Am nervous about my mother talking to the press. She's lovely and very bright but there's just that little bit at the back of my mind going 'And she's got baby pictures of me and knows all those embarrassing stories from when I was a kid...' Have a feeling I may be bribing her with champagne to play nice.
