An open fig bears a resemblance to the female sexual organs

In Turkey figs are considered to be extremely good for good sexual function. In fact if you go down to a market in the capital Istanbul you are likely to find hawkers selling “Turkish Viagra” which in fact are just dried figs.

The majority of people in Turkey follow the Islamic faith and it is said that the prophet Mohammed spoke about figs and said that they had descended from paradise, and while not specifically mentioning that they were good for erectile function he did say that they could stop hemorrhoids and relieve the symptoms of gout. It should also be born in mind that the prophet Mohammed had five wives!

The thing about ripe figs is that they are a very messy fruit to eat and cutting them open is full of sexual overtones and innuendo.  An open fig bears a resemblance to the female sexual organs and that is why some men say that they get them in the mood for sex. There is no clinical proven evidence that figs have any effect on sexual function in men or women but the placebo effect of food which is supposed to act as a sexual enhancement is considerable.

Feeding your other half delicious ripe figs dripping in juice and having her lick her fingers suggestively as she savours the flavour of the fruit can send some men wild with desire. It should also be remembered that figs are very healthy fruits and eating healthily is always good for erectile function but we cannot guarantee that if you eat figs on a regular basis you will improve your performance in the bedroom department but it’ll probably get you in the mood anyway!
