My Body is a Smorgasbord of Orgasmic Flavors
By Madelyn Miller
Imagine having your body rubbed with chocolate raspberry
creams, then scrubbed with a chocolate cake oil combined with cabernet
grapeseeds and being wrapped in a tingly chocolate peppermint wrap while someone
slowly massages your scalp.
Sound like a dessert buffet at an orgy?
No, it is a series of indulgent treatments called the
Chocolate Decadence at Daired’s.
When I entered the sleek looking spa, there was eye candy
everywhere—yummy lotions and potions to take home, fragrant candles, jewelry and
more. I bought three funny contemporary cards while waiting for my treatment to
begin. A friendly greeter came out to take me to the changing room and gave me
a gift bag of chocolates. I knew then I had signed up for the right thing.
My favorite part was the warm chocolate mint wrap. The
therapist lathered this thick minty cream on my body and told me it might tingle
and to let her know if it was too much. TOO MUCH? I loved every minute of it. I
kept fantasizing about my new lover and hoping he would be available later to
feel my smooth skin and perhaps sniff the chocolate aura my body had acquired.
The therapist asked if I could like a scalp massage while
the snuggled in the warm wrap. Another silly question. Of course I would! Was
all this chocolate making my mind go to mush or did these people think I was an
idiot who would turn down any kind of indulgent pampering. After enjoying the
scalp massage I finally got up enough energy to ask if anyone turned it down.
Apparently some people do. So I asked what those people got. She told me a foot
massage. I will try to remember that for next time.
I certainly hope there will be a next time. While this
service was created for Valentine’s Day, there were other delicious flavors and
options available on their menu.
Did I find anyone to lick it all off my body? Stay tuned.
