Sex Study Involving Apples Will Fill Your Head With Dirty Teacher Fantasies

Ever since Eve took a bite of the apple and made the world a better place, apples have been a part of sexual lore. Well, they're no longer just for fictional stories, as a new sex study shows that apples may increase the amount of pleasure a woman experiences during sex.

The Huffington Post (link below) has taken all the scientific mumbo jumbo and broken it down for us thusly.

Researchers analyzed 731 sexually active Italian women aged 18 to 43 with no history or complaint of sexual disorder. Women taking prescription drugs or suffering from depression were excluded from the study as well.

Participants were separated into two groups: regular apple consumption (one to two apples a day) and no apple consumption (0 to 0.5 apples per day). The women then filled out the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which is comprised of 19 questions about sexual function, sexual frequency, orgasm, lubrication and overall sexual satisfaction.

Researchers found that "daily apple use is associated with higher FSFI scores in sexually active female patients, thus increasing their lubrication and overall sexual function."

That must be why teachers have such great sex, or so I've heard, because they're well lubricated from all the apples they eat that are on their desk, or whatever. I don't know, it made sense in my head. So why apples, you ask?

The researchers hypothesize that apples may improve sexual function because, like red wine and chocolate, they contain polyphenols and antioxidants that can stimulate blood flow to the genitalia and vagina, thus helping with arousal.

Not only that, researchers says apples contain phloridzin, a common phytoestrogenthat is structurally similar to estradiol -- a female sex hormone -- and plays a huge role in vaginal lubrication and female sexuality.

Apples ain't the only thing playing a huge role in vaginal lubrication!
