The world of s₤xual fantasies and fetishes can be as repulsive as it is fascinating. If you thought what your friend did last week was strange, then you definitely haven’t come across this weird s₤xua ritual.
In rural Austria, it’s not chocolates nor flowers that are ways to a lover’s heart; its apples soaked in armpit sweat.
In rural Austria, young women do a ritual dance with apple slices stuffed in their armpits. After the dance, each gives her a
slice to the man of her dreams. If he eats it, they can have s₤x.
From wooing their women with the size of their fish in Brazil to charming suitors with armpit-smelling apple slices in Au
stria, and even dedicating a national ‘bonk’ holiday to getting frisky in Russia.
At least, that’s what we thought. But according to recent studies, pulling techniques vary drastically from country to country – and feature everything from parading the size of your…fish, and chatting for just 30 minu
tes before your first time having s₤x.
Austrian women are much more likely to pull if they have a slice of apple squeezed into their armpit and one region of Russia has dedicated a national s₤x holiday to boost declining fertility rates.
In rural Austria, women attend dances with apple slices under their armpits in the hope of finding a man who will take a bite at the end of the night.
The ritual dates back to the 19th century and allows women to capture their ‘s₤xual scent’ – or BO – ahead of getting frisky.
Although (luckily) this is a dying tradition, women still use slices of fruit to captu
re their smell before offering it to potential suitors to sniff.
If he likes her in return, he’ll take a bite of the apple slice, to signify his attraction to her.
