Green
today is not commonly associated in Europe and the United States with love and
sexuality, but in stories of the medieval period it sometimes represented love and the base, natural desires of
man. It was the color of the
serpent in the Garden of Eden who caused the downfall of Adam and Eve.
However, for the troubadours,
green was the color of growing love, and light green clothing was reserved for
young women who were not yet married.
In
Persian and Sudanese poetry, dark-skinned women, called "green"
women, were considered erotic. The
Chinese term for cuckold is "to wear a green hat.
This was
because in ancient China, prostitutes were called "the family of the green
lantern" and a prostitute's husband would wear a green headscarf.
The
consumption of green M&M's has earned urban legendary status as a purported aphrodisiac, though the company that
makes them has pointed out that they are identical in content to all the other
colors.
