1-KINKY IN THE KITCHEN
        Have him sit on a kitchen chair. Straddle the chair, facing away from him, and lower your body down. You can lean forward slightly and put your hands on the kitchen table to help lift your pelvis up and down during thisreverse cowgirl variation. Naughty bonus: First bind him to the chair by winding a few layers of plastic wrap around his chest and the back of the chair.

        2-ORGASMIFY THE OFFICE
        Sex on the floor is hot because it feels primal. So get your man on the ground, grab some tape from your desk, and use it to attach his wrists to the desk legs for a little kinky-lite bondage action.
        
        3-DO IT ON THE DECK
        A chaise lounge is the perfect sex-cessory because it’s narrow enough to straddle. Put it in a semi-reclined position, have him lie down on it on his back, and then lower your body onto his. It’s a cool twist on cowgirl since you’re standing, plus he can get a better view of you with his head raised. Lean your hands against the back for support, and if your thighs start burning, kneel on the seat with his legs between yours. (Obvs save this one for when no one’s around, or wear a skirt so the neighbors can’t see what you’re doing.)

        4-GET DIRTY IN THE DINING ROOM
        Sit with your butt on the edge of the table and have him stand in front of you. Lean back on your elbows and stretch out your feet so they brace the wall, with him between your legs. (Move the table closer to the wall if necessary.) Push against the wall to move your pelvis back and forth or up and down.
        
        5-KNOCK BOOTS IN THE BATHROOM
        Sit facing each other in the tub. Drape your thighs over his, snuggle close, and—using the sides of the tub for leverage—rock your hips all the way to O-town.
        
        6-LUST UP THE LIVING ROOM
        Stand with your back against the back of an armchair or couch, rest your butt on the top of it, and have him stand in front of you. (He’ll probably have to bend his knees a little to enter you.) Hold his hands and lean backward so that your hips thrust up—this pelvic stretch yields extra sensation for you and a hot eyeful for him. For more intimacy, he can also pull your torso back up so you’re chest-to-chest.
        
        7-SEX UP THE STAIRCASE
        Kneel on the stairs with your hands resting a couple of steps above you or on the railing. He should kneel on the step below you and hold onto your hips so he can guide them back and forth in this naughty twist on doggie-style.
        
        8-LOVIN’ IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
        Sit on the washer or dryer while it’s running. Have him stand in front of you (he’ll probably need to stand on a phonebook or something to be the right height) and prop your legs over his shoulders. The hum of the dryer gives you a buzz and channels heat to your v-zone.
        
        9-GET FRISKY IN A WINDOW FRAME
        This position gives you an exhibitionist thrill—minus the risk of getting caught with your pants down. Stand a few feet back from an open the window, bend at the waist, and lean your arms on the ledge while your man enters you from behind.
        
        10-CREATE PASSION IN THE POOL
        Standing sex is normally a tricky position—so take advantage of being weightless and try it when you’re in the water. Wrap your arms around his back and your legs around his hips, as he supports your butt with his hands.

It may take little more than a grope to prep your man for nooky, but get this: If you spend time engaging in preplay, you’ll pave the way for more pleasure than ever. “When a man is turned on before sex in the right way, it not only feels good, but his body is also more receptive and his orgasm more intense,” says sex expert Gloria Brame, PhD. Here, five foreplay-for-him maneuvers that’ll tantalize your guy.

        PRE-SEX MOVE 1: Let Him View Your Bod
        You...naked. It’s already the hottest gift for your guy. Let him really soak up the sight and he’ll sizzle to an even higher temperature. “Men’s brain chemistry changes when they’re presented with a sexy image,” says Brame, “so flaunting your body will make his desire climb.”
        To give him a view to a thrill, crib these peep-show pointers. Push him down on the bed and straddle him. Then, while he’s defenseless, very leisurely peel off one piece of your clothing at a time. To really titillate him, let him sneak a peek at the good stuff — your breasts, butt, inner thighs — but then cover up again. When you finally get down to removing your panties, do it painfully slow so he feels the burn. “Once you’re naked, tease him by twisting your body over him in different directions, arching your back, and letting your breasts graze his face and chest,” says sex expert Ava Cadell, PhD. He’ll be absolutely aching for your touch by the time you finally press your body against his.
        Take it from Kyle,* 22. “My girlfriend stripped and sat me down in front of a big mirror. Then she said ‘Hands off’ and began to undress me,” he recalls. “Watching her — but not being able to have her—was torture... in a good way.” Let him look, but don’t let him touch. That anticipation is a powerful tool.

        PRE-SEX MOVE 2: Use Your Breath
        Relax, you can leave the tantric breathing to Sting. But there’s something to be said for using your mouth to work up your man. Start by letting your parted lips linger somewhere on his body, like his stomach or chest, then slowly exhale. “The rush of hot air will create a temperature change in his skin and heighten arousal,” says Cadell.
        “My girlfriend does this thing where she takes a long, wet lick up my neck, followed by a warm breath,” says Christopher, 29. “Or sometimes she’ll go really fast, alternating between licking and cool blowing on my nipples. It’s like a stimulation bonanza.”
        Now, a couple of heated rounds like this and your guy’s gonna want to go for the gusto. So to reel him back: Work your way south to his package, pucker up, and blast a circle of cool air around his penis, as if you were putting out the candles on a cake. “Breathing cool air on a hot region will actually make his arousal last longer,” says Cadell.
 
        PRE-SEX MOVE 3: Play a Little Rough
        When it comes to foreplay, most women crave a slow seduction. But guys often like the more forceful approach. “Men get turned on when women get a little animalistic and make maximum pleasure the goal. They take it as a sign of lust and an indication that she’s as into it as he is,” says Brame. To him, playing rough isn’t about bondage necessarily. “Guys just want a woman who can take the reins,” says Brame.
        So seize carnal control with a gotta-have- him-now lip-lock. Nathan, 31, says his fiancée, Sally, has that smooch nailed. “She’ll take my tongue in her mouth and really suck on it,” he says. “I swear a rush shoots right to my groin.” Next, make him putty in your hands by physically moving him into different positions, scratching your nails down his back, and being ballsy when he tries to take over. For instance, if he makes a move to give you some down-there pleasure, pull him up, flip him over on his back, and let him be on the receiving end. Trust us, he won’t have a problem with this kind of authority.

        PRE-SEX MOVE 4: Tantalize with Touch
        Guys are surprisingly touchy between the sheets, and we’re not just talking about how he measures up to your ex. “Men desire a variety of hands-on stimulation techniques,” says Brame. And guess what, it’s not where you think. Instead of heading straight for his package, mix up your sexual touches — think: hard massage, long nail strokes, surprise pinches — all over his body to pique his pleasure.
        That’s what Jess, 29, found out. “I thought the only place Jason was interested in being touched was between his legs, but when I pinned him down and started kneading his butt checks and sucking on his earlobes, he went wild,” she says. Jess has the right idea, according to Cadell. “These contrasting caresses electrify the nerve endings in his skin, and the surprise factor helps rev him up even more,” she says.

        PRE-SEX MOVE 5: Bring Him to the Brink
        And now for the frisky finale: Pull out the start–stop trick. “By teasing your guy mercilessly and bringing him dangerously close to climax repeatedly, you will ultimately intensify his orgasm,” says Brame.
        To kick off his preorgasmic frenzy: “Draw a circle around his genital region with your lips,” says Brame. “The whole area from his upper thigh to lower belly is sensitive, and the teasing proximity of your mouth will excite him but still allow him to hold back his climax.”
        Then read his body language to determine when he’s close to combusting and ease off. “When his body tenses up, you know he’s right there,” says Brame. If you don’t want him to climax yet, move your focus to another lusty location. And when you’re ready to finish him off... well, you’ve got it from here, right?

Some people vouch for the effect of foods on their sex drive, but extravagant claims for aphrodisiacs are not borne out by scientific studies. While sexual function may be our physical response to a cascade of hormones, sexual drive is basically maintained by an active mind in a healthy body.

        1. A healthy sex life depends on good nutrition. Good nerve function, healthy hormone levels, and an unobstructed blood flow to the pelvic area are essential to sexual performance. To keep these systems in working order, a diet should be based on legumes, grain products, and other complex carbohydrates, with plenty of fruits and vegetables and modest levels of protein; this diet provides plenty of vitamins and minerals. Particularly important are citrus fruits for vitamin C to strengthen blood vessel walls, and low-fat dairy products, enriched or fortified cereals, whole grains, and green vegetables for riboflavin to maintain the mucous membranes that line the female reproductive tract.

        2. Vitamin E and sexual function. Although there are no confirming clinical studies, many experts believe that without a good supply of this vitamin from oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, green vegetables, and wheat germ, sexual function is likely to suffer.

        3. Get going. Fatigue and depression are common culprits in sexual complaints. These conditions are often linked, and both may be helped by a program of regular exercise, which stimulates the production of endorphins (mood-elevating brain chemicals). In some cases, iron-deficiency anemia may be responsible for fatigue. A diet that includes meat, fish and shellfish, nuts and seeds, legumes, enriched or fortified grains and cereals, leafy greens, and dried fruits helps to replenish iron stores.

        4. Get zealous over zinc. It is known that zinc is tied to sexual function, although its importance to the sex drive has yet to be explained. Without enough zinc, sexual development in children is delayed, and men, too, need zinc to make sperm. Zinc is found abundantly in foods of animal origin, including seafood (especially oysters), meat, poultry and liver, as well as eggs, milk, beans, nuts, and whole grains.

        5. Curb alcohol, knock-out nicotine. Alcohol's effect on sexual function was neatly stated by William Shakespeare, who noted that wine 'provokes the desire, but takes away the performance.' Excessive alcohol lifts behavioral inhibitions, but this liberating effect may be canceled out by its depressant effect. Alcohol also has an action similar to the female hormone estrogen. This can have a devastating effect on masculinity, causing impotence and shrinking of the testes in men who drink heavily. Nicotine, on the other hand, is an enemy of the arteries. Nicotine not only promotes the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the penile blood vessels but also constricts them.

        6. Minimize saturated fats. People readily accept the link between a high intake of saturated fats, elevated blood cholesterol levels, and a buildup of atherosclerotic fatty plaques on the blood vessels around the heart. It's less well understood, however, that similar plaques develop on the myriad tiny vessels in the penis. Without free-flowing circulation, the penis cannot physically respond to messages from the sex drive.
