A cup of… sex?

Last night you didn’t sleep at all and now you feel in pieces. You’re sitting at your desk staring at the screen; you have much work to do, but you definitely need a coffee.

“You look so tired my dear, let me buy you a cup of coffee!” your handsome colleague says.
As you’re following him to the coffee machine, he seems like your blue prince saving you.
Never thought it could be… an indecent proposal!
As you can imagine, the coffee question seems to be an effective question or an icebreaker for a date, but it could be much more than this.
Why?
The caffeine in coffee had quite a reaction with females’ libido!
Researchers found that administration of caffeine shortened the amount of time it took the female rats to return to the males after sex for another mating session.
So coffee can increase sex drive by stimulating part of the brain regulating arousal, as The Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behaviour Journal study said.
In other words, if there is a romantic interest out there, maybe a cup of coffee is a good way to go.
But humans would have to drink 10 cups of coffee in one go to get the same effect, and that is not the normal consumption level!
So, joking aside, we better consider our colleague’s invitation as a virtual sexual suggestion!
But… just in case… don’t you think coffee machines should offer whipped cream too?
