Erotic Edibles
Erotic edibles bring flavour into sex play: penis-shaped candies and lollipops, candy lingerie, edible body paint and flavoured gels for licking. To choose, first check the product page to see whether it is a sweet to eat or a skincare product, because that decides whether it can be licked.
What are erotic edibles?
They are sweets and flavoured products designed for use as a couple: you spread them on the skin, lick them, share them, and they tend to get a laugh. Bringing flavour into the bedroom is one of the most direct ways of connecting pleasure with the senses. This range includes chocolate body paints, shaped gummies, fizzy powders, whipped cream spray, candies sold as aphrodisiacs and edible massage oils. About two thirds of what is on this page are sweets you eat as they are or lick straight off the skin: candies, lollipops and gummies from Spencer & Fleetwood, Diablo Picante and Diablo Goloso, plus candy lingerie. The other third are cosmetics, and not all of them are meant to go in the mouth.
This section also has flavoured cosmetics, or ones with a cooling, warming or tingling effect: nipple gels, lip glosses for oral sex or liquid vibrators. These are not sweets. The flavoured ones can be licked; others, such as some clitoral stimulants, are not for the mouth, and the product page says so. If you are looking for more products of this kind, you will find them in erotic cosmetics. If you would rather make your own erotic desserts, see the sex moulds, and for drinks, the sex cups and shot glasses. It is all part of fun products.
Types of erotic edibles
Almost everything in this section fits into one of these groups.
- Candies and erotic sweets: gummy lollipops shaped like a penis, mint candies, marshmallows and candies with cheeky designs, in flavours such as strawberry, cherry or mixed fruit.
- Jars and party packs: display jars with 40 or 50 lollipops to hand out at a hen party. Some are gin and tonic flavoured or contain alcohol, and the product page says which.
- Candy lingerie: thongs and bras made from tutti frutti candies, so your partner can take them off by eating them.
- Edible body paint: you paint it on the skin and then lick it off. Some come with a die that decides which part of the body to paint.
- Flavoured gels and glosses: for nipples or oral sex, in flavours such as coconut or candyfloss and sometimes with a cooling or warming effect.
- Liquid vibrators and stimulating gels: they give a tingling, cooling or warming sensation. They are skincare products, not sweets.
Safety: where to use them and where not to
Edibles go on the outside: skin, chest, thighs, neck or nipples. They are not recommended inside the vagina, because sugars and flavourings can alter the pH and may cause infections. To lubricate during sex, use a lubricant; if you want it to taste of something, look for a flavoured water-based one. If you are going to use a condom, check on the product page whether the product is compatible with it. Lollipops containing alcohol are for adults only. And if you have any allergies or sensitive skin, read the ingredients before trying something new.
How to choose
- Eat or lick: the product page says whether it is a sweet to eat or a cosmetic applied to the skin, and whether that cosmetic can be licked.
- Flavour: strawberry, cherry, mint, coconut, tutti frutti, gin and tonic… If you do not know what your partner likes, start with a fruit flavour.
- Ingredients: check the list in case there is an allergen or something that does not agree with either of you.
- Alcohol: some lollipops contain it; this is stated in the name or the description.
- Effect: for gels and liquid vibrators, the product page says whether they feel cooling, warming or tingling. The first time, use a small amount.
- Format: a single piece for a game as a couple, or a display jar if it is to hand out at a party.
Frequently asked questions
What are erotic edibles?
Sweets and flavoured products to use during sex or foreplay: candies, lollipops, candy lingerie, body paint or gels for licking. They are not all the same: some are eaten and others are skincare products. Check on the product page that it is suitable for the skin and for eating.
Can erotic edibles be used on intimate areas?
On the outside, yes; inside the vagina, no. Sugars and flavourings can alter the pH and cause infections, so put them on areas that will be licked, not inside the body. Stimulating gels for the clitoris are applied to the intimate area, on the outside and as the product page indicates; to lubricate, use a lubricant.
Are erotic edibles safe for the body?
Yes, if you choose well-known brands and products labelled as body safe, and use them as the product page says. Check the ingredients for allergens. If you have sensitive skin or a specific condition, test on a small area first.
How can I use erotic edibles with my partner?
By spreading them on their body and licking them off, during foreplay or even bringing them into a dinner for two. Sex games with sweets work best if you talk beforehand about what you both fancy and you are both comfortable.
Are erotic edibles suitable for beginners?
Yes. They are easy to use and less intimidating than a toy, so they suit you well if it is the first time you are buying something erotic. Start with a simple flavour and talk to your partner about what they like.
How should I store erotic edibles?
In a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and tightly closed so they do not lose flavour. Some may need to be kept in the fridge once opened; the manufacturer's instructions say so.
Are there common myths about erotic edibles?
Yes. The most widespread is that anything with a flavour can be eaten, which is not true: some are skincare products that are not meant to be swallowed, which is why you need to read the label. Another is that they all taste artificial, but there are also natural options and mild flavours.
Are they good for a hen party?
Yes. The jars of penis-shaped lollipops and the fun candies are designed to hand out at parties. If one contains alcohol, the product page says so, and it is for adults only.
