Sex and chocolate... cliche or a genuinely beneficial sweet treat? With Valentine's Day around the corner, we're all looking for new ways to level up intimacy and add a little romance to our lives – whether that's solo or with someone special – and sex chocolates offer a delightful blend of excitement and intrigue that's usually needed to enhance pleasure.

But are they worth the hype? Unfabled speaks to Eden Chiang, co-founder at the Oh Collective, who create luxury sex bonbons to understand more about the benefits of sex chocolates. Let's get into it. 

What are sex chocolates?

Sex chocolates are a specialty chocolate blended with aphrodisiacs to boost desire and increase libido. The Oh Collective Sex Bonbons are sex chocolates that are infused with natural aphrodisiac superfoods that will jump start your libido! They’re made with Epimedium (also known as “Horny Goat Weed”) to build sexual arousal, Ashwagandha for relaxation and Korean Ginseng for vitality. 

The Oh Collective created these sex chocolates because they believe that “intention leads to action”. The Sex Bonbons are a great way to create intention before romantic or intimate moments. 

Who are sex chocolates for?

Did you know that over 71% of couples spend more time on their phone than with their other half? Creating space for intimacy is a challenge for many couples, and that's why we created Sex Bonbons to help change that. 

The Oh Collective Sex Bonbons are made for adults who are interested in enhancing intimacy and libido. If you have allergies, are pregnant, nursing or have any other medical conditions, please consult your doctor before consumption.

Can you talk us through how you selected the ingredients in The Oh Collective Sex Bonbons?

When we started creating this product, we wanted to bring in the influence of our Asian heritage of using Traditional Chinese Medicine such as Horny Goat Weed, Korean Ginseng, and Aswagandha fused with chocolates. We also work with De Bonte Koe, a local Dutch family-owned chocolatier with the belief that intention brings action.  

Some fun facts on the ingredients in the sex bonbons

Horny Goat Weed: The story goes that a Chinese goat herder noticed a significant increase in sexual activity among his goats after they consumed a particular plant. This plant turned out to be Epimedium, which later became colloquially known as "horny goat weed" due to its aphrodisiac effects.

Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha has been used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known for stress reduction and enhances sleep, cognition, and physical performance. The traditional usage of Ashwagandha also includes fertility and libido support.  

Korean Ginseng: It is an adaptogen that has been used for centuries as a remedy for sexual vitality and overall well-being in East Asia. The active compounds, ginsenosides, are thought to influence sexual function by impacting neurotransmitters and blood flow.

Are The Oh Collective Sex Bonbons vegan-friendly?

Yes! The Sex Bonbons are vegan-friendly, made with organic ingredients and rainforest alliance-certified ingredients. 

What do The Oh Collective Sex Bonbons taste like?

They are wrapped in a layer of dark chocolate, the inside reveals an infusion of sweet and tangy passion fruit caramel filling, creating a perfect balance with the earthy notes of the superfoods. 

I want to try sex chocolates with my other half, but I feel a bit shy about it. Do you have any advice?

Definitely - here are a few options for you to try out and see which one fits you and your partner best: 

1. Bring it up, casually: “I saw the Sex Bonbons online and thought it would be fun for us to try after dinner tonight. What do you think? Let’s turn off our phones, have some chocolates and see where the night takes us!” 
   
   
2. A naughty gift: It’s always fun to receive gifts with a note. Leave the box of chocolates on the bed with a note from you to them early in the morning. It’ll be fun for them to anticipate getting home for some fun after. 
   
   
3. A romantic date: Wine and dine and Sex Bonbons! Going out to somewhere new where the both of you and not in your natural environments are great ways to see each other in new light and spark new excitements. This will be a great time to try something new and playful together as well.
