Are You Horny or Is It Just Ramps Season?
2 min readApr 20, 2021
It’s hard to tell…
If you’re experiencing any of the below feelings, it could be because you’re horny — or it could be because it’s ramps season, that short window of the year when those coveted wild leeks emerge in the woods and make a brief appearance at the grocery store. Honestly, it’s difficult to say…
- You’re bored with your usual crop of options and you want something wild.
- Your tolerance for kissing someone with garlicky breath is much higher than usual.
- You catch yourself leering at any and every slightly bulbous buried object.
- You keep “liking” obvious thirst traps of exposed stems on social media.
- You update your dating profile to say you’re interested in foraging in some bush.
- You’re sweet-talking everyone at the farmers market, looking for a discreet hookup.
- You can’t hear the words “compound butter” without biting your bottom lip.
- You’ll heat things up within a few days of meeting to keep the relationship from wilting.
- You know that if you put the time and care into preserving this spring fling for the cold winter months you’ll be investing in your own long term happiness — but you’re not above a “quick pickle” to get the job done.
- You’ll settle for tops or bottoms, but frankly you’d rather have both.
