The sexual nature of this fruit was also immortalised by the poet D.H.Lawrence in his poem dedicated to this luscious fruit :
« The proper way to eat a fig, in society,
Is to split it in four, holding it by the stump,
And open it, so that it is a glittering, rosy, moist, honied, heavy-petalled four-petalled flower.
But the vulgar way
Is just to put your mouth to the crack, and take out the flesh in one bite. »

This dry fruit can be eaten throughout the world and it is known (due to its high levels of amino acids) for increasing libido and sexual stamina. If you are planning a daring date with a romantic touch, this little fruit will be your best ally.

Put a fig in your life and this little fruit will highten all your senses !
