1. Showering before sex: Taking a shower with your partner before sex is a good way to turn each other on, and keep it clean. Lathering each other up gets both of you going and makes for hot, fresh sex once it all goes down. "My girlfriend always showers when she comes home, and if I hop in with her, it gets both of us excited. It's a big turn on to have sex after that and know everything is fresh and clean," says Mario from Los Angeles.


2. Two at once: Showcase your skills before going all the way. Remember when you were in high school and all the "bases" you could get to - well just because you're a grown up doesn't mean those are gone! Playing with your breasts, giving him oral or a ----- , or just making out for a while before sex sets the tone and leads in to having intercourse. "My girlfriend gives me oral and plays with herself at the same time - it's like all this action at once. I love it and it gets me ready to go," Mark from Los Angeles tells us.

3. Stick in just the tip: Tease your man before letting him go all the way in. By sticking in just the tip, your partner gets a hint at what he's in for. "I love a little taste before I go all the way in," says Andrew from Connecticut.


4. Do a little something special: You don't have to cook an eight course meal to impress your man. Set the mood with subtle turn-ons like scented candles, lingerie, or a cocktail ready for him when he comes home. "Normally my girlfriend and I are so busy the evening plans are always just something kind of low key, but once in a while I come home and she's just watching TV with a sexy negligee on, and made me a little snack: I know what's up, and it doesn't feel overwhelming and pressured like a full on dinner with candles and romantic music. Her subtle effort is a big turn on," says Claude from Dallas.


5. Suck on his nipples: Yes, paying attention to his nipples turns him on too! Men are sensitive in their nipples, and some may not like to admit it, but for most men getting their nipples licked is a big turn on. "My girlfriend tried it and at first I freaked out, but as she did it more, I was amazed at what a turn on it was!" Alan from New York says.
