Smelly cheese increases 20 per cent of couples urges for a frolic between the sheets.
Gorgonzola, Cambozola and Stilton ramp up one in five couples’ sexual urges for a little bit of afternoon delight anytime of day due to the aroma from cheese with blue or green mould, often referred to as “sweaty feet,” which is typically considered a mood killer.
Professor Charles Spence, a astrophysicist at the University of Oxford said: “There has long been an association between romance and the senses, especially eating.”
These results are a product of a poll that asked 2,000 people what food stuffs they had attempted to act as a aphrodisiacs. Classic items like chocolate, strawberries and champagne were the top three, but fromage beat out lobster, and just after truffles.
He added: “However, soft blue cheese really comes into its own when getting couples in the mood for love.”
