I know this woman. She wanted to give her boyfriend chocolate on St. Valentine's Day, she thought it should be truly special. Can you guess what she did? She covered herself with chocolate! It took her four hours and she had to wait for her man to come home for a couple of more hours.
She said to me, "Ewww was all he said. He should have licked me up".
OMG! haha.
Disappointedly she took a hot shower to wash herself, "the small bath room was filled with chocolate flavored steam, I was suffocated".

i like the jap tradishon of the choclate giving...that manga has taught me always ends up in sexy mishaps..
"The very brief vita of St Valentine, has him refusing to deny Christ before the "Emperor Claudius" in the year 280. Before his head was struck off, this Valentine restored sight and hearing to the daughter of his jailer. Jacobus makes a play with the etymology of "Valentine," "as containing valour", but there is nothing of hearts and last notes signed "from your Valentine," as is sometimes suggested in modern works of sentimental piety."
Ha, what a romantic story. I'm curious as to why his feast day became associated with love and general sexuality as his story offers no hint to either. I blame Hallmark.
As for the tradition, February 14th was celebrated in ancient times before the time of St. Valentine. They celebrated the god of fertility on that day, who was a half-naked man dressed in goat skins. During the ritual, priests would sacrifice goats, drink wine, and run through the streets of Rome swinging the goat skin above their heads chasing the young women. They believed if it touched the women, then they would be more fruitful... ewww.
That makes sense. I used to be a total mythology buff, I admit. Well, I still am; frankly, it's so interesting to look at how myths formed and have been twisted over the years.
That does sound right from the tiny bit of mythology I know. I remember reading about Pan, the half-goat half-man creature that was supposed to be the minor god of lust and sexuality (I think that's also partly why the Christian version of Satan is sometimes depicted as half-goat; a bunch of priests came together and decided that since sexuality is such a sin, Pan should be partially represented as Satan).
Pan and Bacchus (god of "wine and intoxication") have to be two of my favorite Greek/Roman gods... man could they party.
About Pan (it made me laugh, so I really had to share):
"Pan is famous for his sexual prowess, and is often depicted with an erect phallus. He was believed by the Greeks to have plied his charms primarily on maidens and shepherds, such as Daphnis. Though he failed with Syrinx and Pitys, Pan didn't fail with the Maenads—he had every one of them, in one orgiastic riot or another. To effect this, Pan was sometimes multiplied into a whole tribe of Panes."
Oh Pan!
Baccus was my moms maiden name... despite her not being Greek/roman....
Other Gods: "We're bored."
Bacchus: "How about an orgy?"
Other Gods: "can we smite someone?"
Bacchus: "no... we have wine though."
Other Gods: "oh, ok!"
Then Zeus gets drunk, turns into a swan, and gets busy with Leda. Eeeeeh, beastiality.
I jest, but I do adore this holiday sometimes.
