Naughty Paris

Too exhausted from work, the weather, kids, or life in general to faire l'amour? Feel like you could use a little boost to the libido? The French have invented a special drink called Diapensia (stupid name) that claims to increase a woman's sex drive. Best of all it's all natural:

Firmly believing in the wealth of traditional medicine, a French research team was able to identify the active principles of the Galanga plant, grown in Asia and reputed for centuries to have aphrodisiac activity. Based on this plant’s active principles, the researchers developed Diapensia, a concentrate of aphrodisiac effects intended to help restore sexual desire.

At €29/bottle plus shipping, it isn't cheap (they recommend a few teaspoons a day), but who knows...could be all you need to put the spring back in your step! ;)

Don't miss the fabulous Christophe Mourthé exposition of fetish photography at the Musée de l'Erotisme (72 blvd de Clichy, 18th), featuring the pin-up burlesque star Dita Von Teese in Paris' Père Lachaise cemetery.

The erotic art photography publisher "Chez Higgins Editions" will have an exposition-sale of their limited-edition portfolio collection at Artcurial (7 Rond Point des Champs-Elysées, 8th) from February 1-March 1.
