Let's examine exactly why chocolate lovers will never get enough of this addictive treat.

The Royal Sweetness

Chocolates go as far back as pre-recorded history when Aztec royalties indulged themselves with chocolates which they called "xocoatl". Cocoa pods were ground and processed to produce a dark, bitter sweet drink that they believed top give them power and fertility. The regular folks wanted to taste them, obviously they were not allowed to lest they endure the wrath of the kings.

Long after chocolates were introduced to Spain, this reverence for chocolate continued, evident in the fact that Spaniards kept the chocolate secret for almost a hundred years from other nations until Dominican monks pilled the beans. After its invasion of Europe, chocolates slowly trickled down to the public, but at a high value.

It is human nature to want what is prestigious and uncommon, and since chocolates have been treated most specially over history, its respect and value has not diminished. Today, you can get chocolates everywhere, but it is undeniable that people still look at chocolates as food for the indulgent – a luxury, something you eat on special occasions.

PEA is actually released in the body during orgasm. This raises dopamine levels in the blood thereby giving a feeling of pleasure.
