Make Him Crave You
Guys are wired to respond to even the slyest feminine wiles. Activate his imagination with these sexy suggestions, and he'll be aching for you all day.
1. Go commando in low-slung pants. Make sure he finds out before you get home that night -- drop your pencil, checkbook, or house keys, and make a strategic bend for his benefit.
Why he'll melt: What you don't reveal is what reels him in. "It's well-known that men are visual creatures," says Howard J. Ruppel, Ph.D., executive director of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "But they're also problem solvers. Giving him a clue without exposing everything keeps him guessing." In other words, the suggestion of an almost-bare area will lock his mind on exactly when he'll get to explore your bod in its entirety.
2. When he leans in for his usual I'm-off-to-work peck on the lips, grab the back of his head with both hands, pull him against you, and slip him major make-out tongue.
Why he'll melt: When it comes to sex, men need only the smallest suggestion to get their juices flowing. With the simplest hint, you can send his brain spinning into a you-centered sexual fantasyland that leaves him primed for play later. And while you're busy driving him to distraction, you're also transmitting sexual self-esteem without threatening him. "You're showing him that you have the confidence to convey your sexual assertions to him," says Amanda Craven, author of Sex Magic (Virgin, 2000). A woman who's uninhibited about sharing sexual thoughts suggests she's someone who will offer assertive action in the bedroom. But subtlety is key: By playing it cool and slightly coy, you minimize the pressure on him to perform.
3. At a casual restaurant, lose the fork in favor of your fingers. Look him in the eye while you lick off any excess salt or sauce.
Why he'll melt: You're showing him that you're comfortable with contact, says Craven: "When you touch yourself in a sensuous -- not even sexual -- manner, it's an invitation for him to think of you in those terms. "When he sees your self-stroking, he won't be able to resist thinking of his own hands on you.
4. Get chummy (or better, borderline flirty) with the cute bartender, doorman, or salesperson who's helping you.
Why he'll melt: You're awakening his most basic instinct -- competitiveness. If you keep your moves benign (too much jealousy can trigger his temper and cause major problems, warns Ruppel), he'll be dying to let everyone know you're his. "Showing him that you're attractive to other people will remind him how lucky he is to have you," says Craven.
