Disclaimer: To hopefully prevent inaccuracies in the comments, while I do have a binge eating disorder, it is managed. I'm losing weight consistently and while cooking is my love language, we have a strict Mediterranean diet at home so that we CAN splurge when we treat ourselves.

Hi - engaged lesbian here. Since the beginning of my relationship with my wonderful trans future-wife (a mouthful I know >:3) we've bonded over new restaurants and trying to surprise the other with different recipes. From my attempts at Southern food with a splash of my African roots to her amazing Spanakopita, our taste buds have been a way to pleasure the other with new delicious flavors.

What I've begun to notice for myself however, is that I actually get hot and bothered by particularly skilled decadence. My body will get hot and I'll moan next to my partner while we watch a Michelin star chef demonstrate how he makes his signature entrée. I'll whip out my iPad, making a list on Google Maps of future dinner dates while cooing to her about how delicious it would be. Am I... taking food too seriously?

I'm not necessarily looking to "fix" this ongoing trend. Just want to know if other folks also engage in flirtatious eating and deep pleasure with cuisine.
