a form of
sexual fetishism in which participants are aroused by erotic situations involving food. The phrase is also used to refer to non-sexual play with food, such as playful and decorative food displays, enjoyment of preparing food, or even a play about food.
Chocolate is a well known
aphrodisiac. Food play overlaps with other fetishes, including wet and messy fetishism, feederism, and Nyotaimori. It is differentiated from
Vorarephilia, aka "Vore," in that food play fetishizes food while vore fetishizes the act of eating a living creature, or being eaten alive. ((You asked))
