grande or venti?

My sincere apologies for the rather graphic nature of the image above but I thought, 'What the hell! We are all adults and the internet is rife with porn anyway. At least my fellow readers are able to learn from this posting.'

Coffee has supposedly been around since about 1200 A.D, and sex has been with us since we began procreating. So it only makes sense that there would be some link between coffee and sex. And there are in fact many links. From what I've read, it seems that women at one point blamed coffee for everything from homosexuality to lack of virility. As we progressed into modern times, it was praised for it's sexual performance enhancing capabilities, among other benefits. And these beliefs were held in times where medical and scientific practices were questionable at best. However recent studies and surveys suggest that coffee and sex still are linked, and important on the minds of both young adults and the elderly alike. Given this, its hardly surprising that big companies are jumping into the band-wagon.

A Venetian ambassador to Turkey back in 1571 wrote back home, and basically said that coffee caused men to become homosexuals. His study reveals that he saw Turkish men going to bath houses (where coffee was often served), and into coffee houses absent of women hence they are homosexuals. Idiot! And soldiers were considered to be homosexual because of their coffee drinking habits. Along with that, there was an archiac and ridiculous idea that you could actually change your sexuality, body and even your genitalia (a penis would slowly shrink and turn inside out thus creating a vagina) by drinking or eating certain drinks or foods. So logically, coffee caused men to become homosexuals, and perhaps even turn into women if given enough time. Thankfully, to the delight of many coffee-drinking men, this never happened. 

The 'Maidens of London' blamed coffee for their husbands lack of sexual interest. Coffeehouses were really for men only (although pubs and taverns were for all). When brothels were moved above coffee houses in the mid 1600s, many men would have coffee, a good political discussion, and then move upstairs to visit a prostitute for a final treat. After that, they headed home and weren't interested in having sex with their wives, and thus coffee was blamed for men's lack of interest in the bedroom. Of course the result was that women tended to be anti-coffee, and men were pro-coffee.
