Whether or not one is energetic enough to make the libido last post-dinner, dining table talk is something most couples do manage to make time for. Here's how you can turn that petty talk-and-argue supper session into an ecstasy-yielding experience

My foot!
A common yet effective trick is to play footsie while you're sharing a meal. Fiddle with his/her shoes as you take them off, insisting it'd relax him/her. Slowly, wriggle up the toes and get tickly, matching a flirtatious glance in sync. Even better if you have your in-laws or friends sitting with you — the most forbidden situations create the best turn-on opportunities. This under-the-table-business is sure to trigger his/her basal appetite.

Dessert for desire
Done with the dinner before you could blink? Never mind; as they say, save the best for last! Tell him/her you've cooked something special for enders, and present it in style — smother chocolate on your body (make it the only thing you're wearing), and tell him/her he/she needs to finish it all! The licking could lead to love, lust, and lo! Need we tell you more? If that's too bold for the gentle you, have fun with messy banana splits, strawberries, raspberries… play with them and you'd end up playing passion with your partner soon!

Aphrodisiacal treat
Chuck mom-in-law's boring 'favourites' recipes and put away that that TV show cookbook; aphrodisiacal menus from Google would be refreshing both at the preparation and fruiting stages. Stir up steamy hot dishes with oysters, rosemary, asafoetida (hing), carom seeds (ajwain), saffron, garlic, ginger, nutmegs and cardamom to rouse his/her sleeping desire. Search for more interesting, exotic ones on your next Web trip. A way to a man's heart is through the stomach, remember?

Wine 'n' wild
A li'l liquor, especially fine wine, could prove the perfect passion potion as it soothes, intoxicates and evokes the low-lying senses that'd rock the night. Bring on the best brews, the most matured bottles or those power-packed pints. Alcohol is often the second name for ardour!   

Apron trap
How about enchanting your other half by wearing nothing but an apron while you're in the kitchen? We're sure he/she will find you even more delicious than the meal!

Kitchen fire
Cooking should be a shared adventure, not a chore. Preparing a meal could actually prove the perfect way to spark a new flame or rekindle an old one. Keep the kitchen platform clean, dim the lights and curtain the window to stay ready for any action that may be lurking around the corner. Make sure nothing's burning on the stove, though!

Clear the tables…
… for a heated session after you're through with the meal. The bed is too old, too unoriginal, too boring. Turn your cooking area into a hooking one, but make sure you bolt the kid in his room first!
