According to the Chocolate Manufacturers Association, 70% of female survey respondents said they would rather have than sex.

What about chocolate AND sex? Ultimate decadence.

*clears throat*Uh yes, I've heard about edible body paint...but we won't get into that...

Hi JEllen, speaking of painting*no, no, no c'mon jaz'd try to think non-sexual!*are you working on anything interesting?
