Understand this...

Since this forum is dedicated to understanding family, authoritative figures etc, can anyone understand this:

why do women feel this uncontrolable crave to devour chocolate? Please provide me a scientifical explination, 'cause it's beyond me.

I bought this nice box of chocolate to give away and of course I opened it and ate a quarter. WHY

?WHY? Do I not reason properly? Do I not know that chocolate is evil? the source of all evil ? - I even have a theory for those interested in hearing it.

Anybody else got troubling questions bothering them

?

You are probably addicted to the nice substances in them. It is more or less the same with smokers and nicotine.

twinkle · 07-17-2008, 03:53 PM

No,no no, you do not understand. I thought I was clear. I haven't had any in a long long time. Didn't feel like having any... didn't want to have any... didn't even think of having any... and then... it happened...

Vautrin · 07-17-2008, 04:54 PM

It was perfectly clear. Perhaps your subconscious was driving you to eat the evil chocolates? My gf has similar issues with chocolate.

Perfectly Simple:

Chocolate An Aphrodisiac?

"Chocolate contains substances called Phenylethylamine and Seratonin, both of which (put simply), are mood lifting agents found naturally in the human brain. They are released into the nervous system by the brain when we are happy and when we are experiencing feelings of love, passion or lust. This causes rapid mood change, a rise in blood pressure and increasing heart rate, inducing those feelings of well being, bordering on euphoria usually associated with being in love.

Eating chocolate also releases Phenylethylamine and Seratonin into the system producing those same euphoric effects, plus it can give a substantial energy boost thus increasing stamina (at the critical moment?), so it's probably these effects which gave rise to chocolates reputation as an aphrodisiac.

Recent research suggests that women are more susceptible to the effects of Phenylethylamine and Seratonin than men, although Casanova is said to have consumed chocolate before frolicking with his conquests, but there's no mention of him actually sharing it with them.

So there you have it, calling Chocolate an aphrodisiac is probably stretching it a bit, but eating chocolate does make you feel good and can actually induce or 'mimic' the feelings of being in love... "

I think your source of all evil theory will be more entertaining

Now I recall you asking me to remove all chocolate from your house when I left!

You are not alone:

Can someone make that pic bigger? I've been trying for 30 mins and it's driving me MAD

You and Forrest Gump have a lot in common.

I had to think of a great webcomic. The subject is a bit different though ...

lol it's true!! I love that BTW. Only I don't really see the big deal, if you want a chocolate bar, have one once in a while. Of course remember it's a treat not something you eat for desert every night.

twinkle · 07-23-2008, 09:23 AM

I don't crave chocolate for months. I think I didn't have any for years. And then, when I incidentally have a bite, I seem to be unable to stop at not eating the whole chocolate - or almost. and then I am off of it for another half an year or so.

It's quite disturbing, actually.

Whatever, it looks addictions from deep perspective view..see it & believe it.
