Seduce Her in 10 Minutes

 

Many things run through a woman's mind when you meet. Here's how to go from "hello" to "oh my."

1. Your Approach

Her brain quickly vets your height and facial symmetry the moment you meet. Now convince her of your character. Approach confidently; don't pretend to bump into her. "Men tend to talk to each other at angles to avoid confrontation," says Rutgers University anthropologist Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author of Why We Love. "But women face each other head-on and maintain eye contact."

2. Your Introduction

A good handshake isn't a shortcut to her bed, but a bad one can doom you. Hands are loaded with tactile nerves, and people with weak, clammy handshakes were perceived as shy and neurotic in a recent University of Alabama study. So hold your drink in your left hand and give her a firm but not bone-crushing grasp. Pay attention to her grip as well: The same study showed that women who give firmer handshakes tend to be more adventurous.

3. Your Voice

The most attractive women prefer deep-voiced men, according to a recent study by Scottish researchers. It suggests high testosterone levels, a sign of strength and reproductive prowess. Push out air with your diaphragm, not your throat. This lengthens the column of air moving past your vocal cords. "It's like a built-in subwoofer," says voice coach Joanne Joella.

4. Your Icebreaker

Say something that will draw out details about her. "Your friends seem nice—how did you get to know them?" is a compliment and a window into her past. Forming a bond will release dopamine, a mood booster in her brain. Show off your interest with verbal nods of agreement ("uh-huh," "go on"), adds Alex Pentland, Ph.D., an MIT professor who designed software that assesses whether speed daters are feeling sparks.

5. Your Conversation

We all know to ask lots of questions and to avoid flat-out boasting. But don't sell yourself short. "Women listen very carefully for signs of status and wealth," says Fisher. Keep any references to financial or personal success oblique, though—let her curiosity draw out the details. Another crucial conversation tip: Talk at the same pace she does and she'll consider you intelligent, kind, con-fident, and ambitious, according to a University of Maryland study.

6. Your Body Language

Attraction causes couples to mirror each other's body language. But don't be overeager to connect. Stay relaxed and let her set the tone, says Lisa Clampett, founder of the Matchmaking Institute. Fidgeting conveys nervousness and triggers the empathetic release of stress chemicals in her brain. "Once she brushes your shoulder or thigh, reciprocate within a minute or two," Fisher says. Or touch her inner forearm, a nerve-rich zone that will create sparks.

7. Your Deal Closer

If you've made the right sort of first impression, she might be wondering how you are in bed. "Consciously or not," says Fisher, "she's looking for signs that you're patient and sensitive to the ways her body finds pleasure." So talk her through the jukebox options. Handle the darts delicately. Call out the scent notes of a bottle of wine. Show refined tastes in these areas and she'll suspect you have others worth exploring—back at her place.

15 Facts You Didn't Know About Your Penis

1. Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter. Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don't care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the li'l guy.

2. Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh.

3. An enlarged prostate gland can cause both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. If you have an unexplained case of either, your doctor's looking forward to checking your prostate. Even if you're not.

4. The average male orgasm lasts 6 seconds. Women get 23 seconds. Which means if women were really interested in equality, they'd make sure we have four orgasms for every one of theirs.

5. The oldest known species with a penis is a hard-shelled sea creature called Colymbosathon ecplecticos. That's Greek for "amazing swimmer with large penis." Which officially supplants Buck Naked as the best porn name, ever.

6. Circumcised foreskin can be reconstructed. Movable skin on the shaft of the penis is pulled toward the tip and set in place with tape. Later, doctors apply plastic rings, caps, and weights. Years can pass until complete coverage is attained. . . . Okay, we'll shut up now.

7. Only one man in 400 is flexible enough to give himself oral pleasure. It's estimated, however, that all 400 have given it their best shot at some point.

8. There are two types of penises. One kind expands and lengthens when becoming erect (a grower). The other appears big most of the time, but doesn't get much bigger after achieving erection (a shower).

11. Turns out size does matter: The longer your penis, the better "semen displacement" you'll achieve when having sex with a woman flush with competing sperm. That's according to researchers at the State University of New York, who used artificial phalluses (ahem) to test the "scooping" mechanism of the penis's coronal ridge. Next up: curing cancer.

12. The penis that's been enjoyed by the most women could be that of King Fatefehi of Tonga, who supposedly deflowered 37,800 women between the years 1770 and 1784—that's about seven virgins a day. Go ahead, say it: It's good to be king.

13. Better-looking men may have stronger sperm. Spanish researchers showed women photos of guys who had good, average, and lousy sperm—and told them to pick the handsomest men. The women chose the best sperm producers most often.

14. No brain is necessary for ejaculation. That order comes from the spinal cord. Finding a living vessel for said ejaculation, however, takes hours of careful thought and, often, considerable amounts of alcohol.

15. The most common cause of penile rupture: vigorous masturbation. Some risks are just worth taking.

10 New Places to Have Sex

If men weren't great explorers, we never would have found America, the Rockies, or scrambled porn on channel 99. So why should our entire sex life always take place in the same spot? Here's our list of the best places to fool around.

1. On the Washer

Your washing machine produces more vibration than any other appliance in your home. When your butt's on the lid, the motion is transmitted through your pelvis, essentially turning your member into a life-size vibrator.

2. In the Vault

To really add some spice to your sex life, make a quick stop at your bank. A safe-deposit-box room is quiet, the door is locked, and there's no camera. It's a great place to make a deposit and withdraw.

3. At Victoria's Secret

The best dressing rooms for sex are at Victoria's Secret. Sometimes they have love seats in there. Ask the saleswoman if you can go in to make sure you like what your girlfriend is trying on.

4. In a Beanbag Chair

You can contour it to any shape, and it'll support you in ways you're not accustomed to. Doggy-style sex works great when she's on her belly, draped over the amorphous blob (the chair, not you).

5. During Christmas at the In-Laws'

Bring the kids' gifts—wrapped, but in a bag. Say you haven't wrapped them yet and duck into a spare room.

6. A '57 Chevy

That's our nostalgic choice. For more practical men, it's the Ford Excursion, which measures a romp-friendly 227 inches long. As one salesman put it, "It'll hold 36 sheets of half-inch plywood between the wheel wells." Which is one way of thinking of it.

7. A Large Swiss Ball

The ball can actually help improve your depth of penetration, if you're in the right position. Sit on the ball and have her straddle you, facing away from you. Hold her hips for balance, and use the rocking motion of the ball to thrust in and out of her from behind. Do one set of at least 50 repetitions.

8. A National Park

If the missus likes to vocalize, pitch your tent in Alaska's Denali National Park, where 6 million untamed acres and a crowd-thinning permit system leave little risk of waking the neighbors. She'll gasp in delight when the midnight sun bathes the Big One (that's Mt. McKinley, buddy) in salmon pink light.

9. The Elevator

Try a freight elevator. It won't have an alarm, and you can stop it between floors for more privacy. Try this when you and your partner are helping a buddy move into a new apartment. Pack the front and sides of the elevator with boxes; leave the middle clear.

10. The Garage

At a friend's party, offer to fetch some more beer, then slip out the garage door. Nobody will think anything of you being away for 20 minutes, and you can always hide behind the car if you hear someone coming.

Fulfill Her Fantasies

Seven sex tips guaranteed to work wonders

Hey, habits, even bad ones, take time to perfect. You don't just pick them up overnight. So the fact that you've had more than your fair share of sex in this life, while undoubtedly a great source of pride to you, probably means that over the years you've developed a few bad habits -- maybe learned to cut a few corners here and there in the bedroom. Happens to the best. Show us a gorgeous woman and we'll show you a man who's making love to her on autopilot at least once in a while.

The problem here is that women, under the misguided impression that we men have delicate egos, are not always inclined to point out ways we can improve our lovemaking. So the bad habits endure. Replacing your bad sexual habits with some of the better ones here will result in a much happier and more satisfied partner, which, being the selfless sort that you are, is the only thing that really interests you. We should mention, in passing, that it could also result in bedpost-rattling, plaster-loosening, forget-your-own-name, animalistic fun for you, too. In case you're interested.

Habit #1: Be handy, man

When it comes to using your hands to get her worked up, you can't afford to be all thumbs, at least according to the book The Guide to Getting It On! So next time your fingers are doing their love thing, make sure you...

Get them in the right position

When a woman masturbates, she often rests her wrist on her lower abdomen just above the pubic bone. If this is what your partner does, try to do the same, since it will influence the way your fingers feel on her vulva. Try lying parallel to your partner and reaching your arm over her body until your fingers can reach her crotch. This allows your fingers to approach from the same angle that her own fingers do.

Wait for it to come to you

Great lovers know to start with light, gentle caresses that barely touch the inner thighs and pubic hair. Don't go any further until she spreads her legs and/or her pelvis begins to arch upward. Then tease and caress until the lips of her vulva invite your fingers inside.

Flick your wrist

Men typically use only one finger when they get down around the action zone. When your lover does herself, however, she gets her entire wrist into the motion, even if only one finger is actually touching her vulva. This is a subtle and important detail that the great ones all know.

Habit #2: Stay in training

"A man can learn a lot about being a better lover through masturbation -- even if he has a regular partner," says Peter Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., a San Francisco clinical sexologist. "One of men's biggest concerns during sex is that they'll come too soon. Regular masturbation is the perfect way to learn to recognize the signs that you're getting close to orgasm." Here's how to get the most out of Solo Orgasm 101.

Slow down

"The fear of being found out motivates boys to learn to masturbate to orgasm as quickly as possible," says Patricia Love, Ed.D., a marriage and family therapist in Houston and author of Hot Monogamy. The trouble is, these quickies condition your sexual responses in such a way that you end up climaxing much faster than you'd like to with a partner. An occasional lightning orgasm is okay, but try to set aside some time when you can relax and masturbate for 20 minutes or so.

Lighten up

Another danger of high-speed wanking is that a jackhammer stroke creates sensations that can't be reproduced when you're not the only one in the room. "Some men get so used to the hard, fast strokes that they have trouble climaxing with a partner," says Barbara Keesling, Ph.D., a sex therapist and author of Super Sexual Orgasm. To master a new stroke, try switching hands, which will make you very conscious of every move you make and defeat any "automatic" movements.

Habit #3: Broaden your horizons

An effective lover knows there's more to sex than intercourse. "He doesn't simply grab a woman's breasts and then dive for her crotch," says Robert Birch, Ph.D., a marital and sex therapist in Columbus, Ohio. Instead, he "sees intercourse as one of many options." Our sex therapists mentioned many possibilities, from using sex toys to rubbing your penis on different parts of your partner's body, to watching her masturbate. "The essential attitude -- especially in a long-term relationship -- is that nothing in particular has to happen during any sex act," says Constance Avery-Clark, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Coral Springs, Florida.

Habit #4: Float like a butterfly

They may not want to admit it, but women like receiving oral sex as much as we do. If you've already figured out how to make your partner hear colors, we salute you. But if you could use a bit more time in the lab, try this technique: It's the fabled Venus butterfly, described for us here by Ava Cadell, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist in Los Angeles:

Spend some time kissing and touching until your partner starts to become aroused, then gently pull back the hood of her clitoris. Stimulate the clitoris with short, then long strokes, with either your tongue or your moistened fingers. Ask your partner to tell you when she's reached at least "8" on an excitement scale of 1 to 10.

Then, with small, circular motions, stimulate the entire outside area of the vagina with your tongue and your fingers until she's back down to "5." Now, go back to the clitoris. When she reaches "8" again, place the palm of your hand against her genitals and slide one finger into her vagina. With your fingertip, tap a spot about 2 inches inside her vagina, on the upper wall. (Home of the elusive G-spot -- some women have it and some don't, but either way, this will feel good.) Now, just keep stroking or licking her clitoris while tapping her G-spot. She'll let you know when it's time to stop.

Habit #5: Keep her waiting

Teasing doesn't come naturally to most men, but it can be very appealing to women. Why rush the greatest thing in life? Instead, enjoy it more...

Take 10 times longer

The stereotypical guy watches his mate undress and then pounces on her like a linebacker on a loose ball. He grabs hold of her breasts and works them like pizza dough, and soon she's bored out of her mind. So, if you want to make a big impression, surprise her with your slowness. The key: Build steadily and specifically to a nipple crescendo for her, says Linda DeVillers, Ph.D., author of Love Skills. Start at the outermost rim of the nipple and slowly spin inward. As your finger travels, you should notice the rim around her nipple (the areola) darken and the nipple itself stiffen. Place a finger on each side of the nipple and push down lightly, pulling your fingers apart as you go. Making the nipple taut (and ready!) in this way will heighten the sensation for her when you start to lick and tickle it a few moments later.

Start early in the day

"Call your lover at work and tell her what you'd like to do to her tonight when she gets home," suggests Gardos. You'll both be thinking about sex for hours.

Habit #6: Catch her off guard

You may have magic hands, but if you make love the same way, time after time, sooner or later she's going to find it as exciting as a rerun of This Old House. "When a woman anticipates every move a man is going to make," says John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, "she may no longer become excited by sex -- and this is very common." Here's how to make a few bedroom improvements:

Try new positions

"My number-one advice for men is: Change your sexual positions frequently," says Cadell. "Her orgasm will feel different in every position, and she'll be grateful for your creativity."

Get away from it all

"Changing the environment is very important for a woman," says Gray. "If you can't afford a hotel, camp out. It's not the location so much as the feeling that she doesn't have to worry about the details, that you're doing the thinking. That gets her out of her mind and into her body."

Habit #7: Play at the pump

While you're trying all those new positions and varied positions (woohoo!), don't forget about the most basic technique of intercourse: the thrusting of your penis. "Monotonous pumping can have a numbing effect on the woman, especially if she's not aroused enough to respond to intense sensation," says Felice Dunas, Ph.D., author of Passion Play. Variations in the depth, speed, rhythm and timing of your pelvic thrusts can dramatically enhance the experience for both of you. Dunas suggests starting with mostly shallow, slow thrusts; as your partner becomes more aroused, mix in a higher percentage of deeper thrusts. To really keep her on her toes, try some brief pauses between thrusts

How Big is Yours?

 

Small penis syndrome. Sounds horrifying, right?

If you're anxiously reading this article, you may already have it.

Oh, relax. It's not a johnson-shrinking virus. "Small penis syndrome" is a psychological condition in which a man thinks his manhood is too small, even though he's really on par with the rest of mankind.

Does size matter? (To her, that is.)

That age-old question was addressed by British researchers in a scholarly article this week in BJU International.

Their findings, in a nutshell (or two): 63 percent of men complained of having inferior hardware -- but none of them was smaller than normal! (Normal is between 5.5 and 6.2 inches long when erect and 4.7 to 5.1 inches around -- and don't even think about measuring at your desk.)

To make those fears all the more pointless, 85 percent of women are happy with their partner's size.

Okay, British researchers are one thing. But what do real women think?

That's where Men's Health comes in. We asked two of our favorite women: Nicole Beland, our "Girl Next Door," and Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., our "Bedroom Confidential" columnist.

"Yes, we care about the size of a man's penis," Nicole says. "But when it comes to sexual satisfaction, it's pretty far down on our list of priorities."

And having a big wood certainly doesn't guarantee her orgasm, which is more important than penis size, Debby says. "Women find it difficult to orgasm, and oral sex and hand stimulation are often more effective, as are vibrators," she says.  "It's not personal -- it's just how some women's bodies work."

Nicole notes that small penis syndrome can work in a woman's favor.

"There's nothing worse than a guy who thinks he has a HUGE penis and is therefore God's gift to the ladies," she says. "That kind of guy thinks that getting an erection is pretty much all the effort he has to put into sex. The chances that the women he sleeps with are having orgasms? Slim to none."

Ian Kerner, Ph.D., sexologist and author of She Comes First, says we should worry more about her pleasure than our size.

"Usually when women complain about a small penis, it's also that they're not having orgasms," Kerner says. "If they're orgasming, it'll matter a hell of a lot less what size your penis is."

For the truly tiny or even those paranoid normal guys, Kerner recommends "pressing instead of thrusting in missionary position, or trying woman-on-top," both of which maximize clitoral stimulation.

Nicole suggests these positions: "Place her legs on your shoulders during missionary position, enter her from behind when she's on all fours, or, when she's on top, put a pillow under your butt to raise up your pelvis."

The British research (really just a review of previous studies) confirmed that women do indeed prefer a thick penis. The reason: "The greatest number of nerve endings are in the lowest part of the vagina," Nicole says. "So when a thick penis pushes against the labia and lower vaginal walls, it provides intense, pleasurable sensation.

"But men with thinner penises can provide a similar experience by penetrating in the positions described above or moving his hips in a circular motion while thrusting."

Why are men so worried about penis size? Part of the reason is pornography--21^st century man has seen plenty of prodigious penises on his screen. Most women don't want that.

"When women watch male porn stars humping away like lobotomized underwear models," Nicole says, "it's almost always with a cringing, confused expression.

"Getting pummeled with a giant penis is painful, not fun. The majority of women don't consider bouncing up and down on a Poland Spring bottle to constitute great sex."

Herbenick, a researcher at Indiana University, says penile worries arise from "cultural myths and stereotypes about penis size that stem from television, movies, jokes told among friends, and advertising messages from companies that present false information about penis size in order to sell products that probably don't even work."

Lou Paget, Ph.D., author of The Great Lover Playbook, said point of view matters--literally.

"The majority of men compare themselves to something they see in adult material. They haven't seen another man's penis up close," she says. "But women see them all the time. And we see a whole range of sizes.

"Men only see themselves, and look at a different angle than women -- looking down."

In other words: Your penis looks bigger to women than it does to you.

And don't forget that there's a lot more to sexual and relationship satisfaction than penis size and positions. Like communication, Herbenick says: "Trust and believe your partner if she says, 'Honey, you're fine' or 'I like you just how you are' rather than second-guess yourself."

The irony is that men spend so much time thinking about their anatomy when they should be thinking about hers. "It's a man's knowledge of female anatomy and ability to stimulate a woman in all the right ways that determines whether or not we're happy in bed," Nicole says.

And don't forget foreplay. "Twenty minutes of erotic foreplay with a guy who has a penis the size of a Sharpie will be far hotter than 2 minutes of sloppy groping from a dude with a johnson the size of a flashlight," Beland says.

And finally, guess what really matters? Don't groan -- it's personality.

"Of course it's more important than any physical aspect of a man's body," Nicole says. "Any woman who thinks otherwise isn't worth dating."

5 New, Better Ways to Please Your Woman

A lot has changed in the bedroom in 37 years, and not just the shag rug. The Joy of Sex was a seminal instructor when it came out in 1972, but it lacked insight into how both partners could please each other. A new edition, revised by a woman, arrives this month. Modernize your approach with these tips.

Outdated: If she likes it, keep doing it

Updated: Never stop experimenting

Her body's sensitivity changes as her arousal level rises. "Experiment and retrace your steps, so that instead of becoming fixated on one point, you visit a series of sensitive points regularly," says relationship expert Susan Quilliam, who revised the book. Set up simple codes she can use: "up" or "down" for where to move your hand, for example. Or ask her, "How's this feel, one to 10?" then vary the pressure.

Outdated: Fantasy is for the lonely

Updated: She needs the distraction

During sex, men focus on the oncoming climax (or baseball stats). Women's minds wander, often into fantasy. To reach orgasm, she needs to clear her head and turn off her brain's fear center. "Fantasy is a way for her to disconnect her mind, and it becomes an important part of deactivating her fear center," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First. Encourage her release by constructing an erotic fantasy before things heat up. Then, Quilliam says, you can whisper provocative sentences to each other in turn, building a story she can get lost in.

Outdated: Control the pace

Updated: Let her take over

In almost every culture's history, the man takes the lead in sex. But that's a patriarchal hang-up, says Quilliam. Let her control the pace and intensity (either initially or totally, depending on the mood), so that you both know what's best for her. The more fun she has, the better for you. Encourage her to be on top: It allows her to take advantage of a full range of positions—facing you, facing away, even sitting cross-legged on you. "There's a lot of value in just being a still object of resistance," Kerner says.

Outdated: Erotic spots are predictable

Updated: Different touches bring different results

Her clitoris, vagina, and urethra are interconnected, and researchers believe that stimulating any one of them may contribute to overall arousal. Quilliam suggests branching out and teasing what some call the U-spot—an area between her clitoris and vagina, located near the entrance to her urethra. Use soft, circular motions with your finger. "Urethral nerves are very sensitive, so stimulation here creates a particular kind of arousal—a soft, melting form of climax," Quilliam says. Make sure your hands are clean, though—the area is infection-prone.

Outdated: Speed thrills

Updated: Slow down

Pulling back when she's near climax and then resuming can enhance her orgasm. "Suspense raises the psychological arousal level," Quilliam says. Ask her to tell you when she's near the top, and then pull back for a few minutes to kiss and concentrate on other parts of her body. Repeat several times—build up, back off—until you take her over the edge. Don't fear ruining a moment. It takes 5 to 10 minutes for arousal to really subside, so even if she thinks she's "lost it," you're probably equipped to bring her back.

7 Steps to Have a Summer Fling

Nine out of 10 women are open to friendly overtures at the beach, according to our poll of 2,257 women. So she's mostly naked and willing to engage, which helps explain why 72 percent have had a summer fling. Your game plan . . .

1. Set Your Stage

Don't strut like a peacock, but if there's higher ground, stake it out so you're seen. Use a solid-colored blanket—women subconsciously associate stripes and patterns with children, says Marc Salem, a body-language expert.

2. Meet Her Needs

Bring sunscreen, water toys, sports gear, a cooler of water bottles, and shade. You'll be a greater source of aid and comfort than the lifeguard is.

3. Go au Naturel

"If it looks like you showered and gelled your hair to go to the beach, it comes across as desperate," says Brittany Besler, a surfer and former lifeguard. Don't sweat your physique: 68 percent of the women polled said being confident is more important than being ripped.

4. Wait Your Turn

Don't intrude while she's sunning. Instead, say hello at the concession stand, suggests Kate Wachs, Ph.D., the author of Relationships for Dummies. That was the top spot for approach, our poll revealed. Next best: as she's taking a walk.

5. Decode Her Bikini

A Day-Glo thong means she's starved for attention. "Women in one-piece suits are more sophisticated and less frivolous," says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of Confessions to a Sexologist. Boy shorts and tankinis mean she wants to show off but is a bit insecure about her body.

6. Flatter Her Figure

Eight out of 10 women said they'd like a compliment about their body. Just "not too specific," says Jamie Dunn, a lifeguard in New Jersey. Best move: Try a nonsexual compliment during a volleyball game.

7. Group-Think

Women are rarely alone at the beach. Approaching a trio is your best bet—there's enough company so they won't feel threatened, but they're open to newcomers. If you find a coed beach party, befriend the men by joining a game, Wachs says. Once you've blended into the party, you're free to start chatting up the women.

5 ways to outperform her battery-operated beau

Sure, she may have vibrating silicone, but you have a tongue, fingers, and a penis. Try these sex tips to work all your tools to their greatest orgasm-producing potential.

Give her a thumbs-up. Use your thumb to press on her G-spot, as if you were making a thumbprint on her vaginal wall, says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., a sex therapist and the author of She Comes First. (You're shooting for the area about 2 inches inside the vaginal opening, on the front side.) "The G-spot responds to firmer pressure than the clitoris does," says Kerner.

An alternate G-trick: Insert your index finger in a "come-hither" curl position inside her vagina while applying pressure on her pubic bone with your other hand. This dual stimulation heightens sensitivity.

Hold your tongue. "A flat, still tongue is one of the most underestimated oral-sex techniques," says Kerner. "It's great for inducing orgasm, but it's also a nice breather between strokes." Gently push your tongue into her vulva and let her do the work, setting the pace, pressure, and rhythm.

Cover the spread. During missionary-position sex, hold her legs close together instead of spreading them apart. That way, "it's much easier for her pelvic muscles to reach a state of involuntary spasm," says Kerner.

Join forces. Incorporating a vibrator into your hookup sessions is the kind of threesome she'll be into -- plus, it makes your job easier. While entering her from behind, stimulate her clitoris with a small vibe like the Pocket Rocket.

Or just leave her alone. Embrace a lady's love of toys; they can improve your shared sex life. "Women who masturbate know their bodies, and they're often able to reach orgasm with a partner more easily than those who don't," says Diana Wiley, Ph.D., a Los Angeles- based sexologist. And nothing makes a man a better lover than his dedication to a woman's pleasure, by whatever means necessary. What the heck, maybe she'll let you watch.

Are You a Bad Kisser?

Unlock her lips without anyone getting hurt

Your kiss tells a woman how you'll be in the sack, says William Cane, author of The Art of Kissing . Find out if your smooches are subpar.

She's Choking

"A little tongue action is good, but not when you feel like you're mouth wrestling," says Rebecca, 24. Men are notorious for tonsil spelunking, says Cane, who advises staying in the front of her mouth.

She's Bored

"A guy should move around when making out," says Amy 23, "not sit still and peck me." Explore, Cane says: "Slide your lips over her body and keep your hands moving."

She's Annoyed

"Some guys think a kiss simply involves moving their tongue in and out of my mouth. That's just annoying," says Dina, 28. "Instead of using your tongue like a dart, try different motions and amounts of pressure," suggests Cane.

She's Weirded Out

"I hate it when a guy devours my face when he's kissing me," says Beth, 25. Here's an approach she'll love: Ask her to demonstrate what she considers a sexy kiss. Then let her do all the work. It's educational . . . and fun.

2,131 Women Confess to Us

The typical American male thinks about kinky sex but rarely does anything about it. That may change -- tonight.

Kinky

The word can conjure up unsavory images: leather-clad ne'er-do-wells brandishing whips, emotionally crippled Dungeons and Dragons aficionados prancing in military regalia. The Gimp in Pulp Fiction.

It makes you wonder, Who needs to go to all that trouble? And why?

Most of us men are simple creatures. We know what we like, and we like what we know. So we're reluctant to replace a good old-fashioned horizontal bop with a session that requires a trunkful of apparatus, significant prep time, and possibly a run to the drugstore.

On the other hand . . . can't there be wholesome kink? Something cleaner, less coercive and more collaborative, more fun and less frightening? Like, say, your woman, dressed as a cheerleader, behind the stadium with you. That's role playing and mild exhibitionism. Work for you? Thought so.

I was a man of simple pleasures until, through a twisted twist of fate, I found myself a reluctant (really!) participant in an orgy. Within a week, I became the world's unlikeliest sex columnist, for Nerve.com. After more than 30 truly kinky adventures -- some of which I liked, many that still give me night terrors -- I can report that I am no Caligula. But the experiences taught me that an occasional adventure in the bedroom (or outside of it) is a great way to avoid a rut in your rutting.

Now comes the liberating news that we men are not alone in our desires. When Men's Health polled more than 2,000 Cosmopolitan readers, we learned that women are waiting for us to suggest a few deviations from the norm. Our favorite stat: More than 90 percent of women sound eager -- they're "game to try" something kinky (70 percent) or downright "excited" at the prospect (21.5 percent), if only we'd ask!

If it helps, don't call it kink. "Think of it as fun -- a romp, really -- more than kinky," says Sue Johanson, a sex educator and the host of Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, on the Oxygen network.

Consider this a fun starter guide to kink's simpler pleasures -- and leave the truly freaky stuff to the Germans.

BDSM

Don't let the unsexy acronym put you off. BDSM stands for bondage, domination, submission, and masochism. For now let's address the B and a little D, which is more popular than you might think. I have yet to meet a woman who has not enjoyed being tied to a headboard now and then. Amanda, a 27-year-old advertising saleswoman, is typical: "I'm a pretty confident, successful career woman. The feeling of being helpless and dominated was really novel and a massive turn-on." Doesn't sound like your girl? You'd be surprised. The women in our poll rate bondage as the form of nontraditional sex that most excites them.

"There is a sense of being erotically overwhelmed that comes along with being restrained, and many women find it quite passionate," says Carol Queen, Ph.D., staff sexologist at Good Vibrations, a woman-owned and -operated sex-toy empire. "Women are encouraged to understand themselves as objects of desire, and through bondage and restraint, there's an acting out of that."

AT FIRST: During one of your typical romps, use your hands to restrain hers above her head. If she seems to like that (go ahead, ask), consider taking it further the next time around. Grab neckties, silk scarves, or a pair of stockings. Use gentle knots and give yourself access to all areas. Then resume what you were doing. Only slower.

Spanking can liven things up. "How hard one should spank depends on the person," says Emma Taylor, one half of the sex-writing duo Em and Lo and coauthor of Nerve's Guide to Sex Etiquette. "Always err on the side of reserve, and gradually build up to rudeness." Start with a light tap. If she laughs, laugh along with her. Consider a moan permission to continue.

LATER: Laidie Magenta is a dominatrix in the big leagues of New York City. Heed Laidie Magenta's instructions; do not displease her: "BDSM can be dangerous if embarked upon by someone inexperienced and too eager. It's best to be prepared with some knowledge so no one gets hurt." Before you start, agree on a "safe word" to let each other know when you've had enough. "Saying no might be an integral part of the fantasy, so make sure your safe word is something totally out of context," says sex educator Jamye Waxman. Like "peanut butter," "Seattle," or "toy boat." (Unless your fantasy involves all three, in which case you are no newcomer to kink.)

HER STORY: "It happened really naturally -- my husband and I aren't about going out and purchasing a set of handcuffs. But one time during sex he said, ‘Okay, you don't get to use your hands,' and that really added a whole new level. We would take turns: He would hold on to the headboard and I'd do my thing, then we'd switch. I like feeling that he could just have his way with me and I'd be powerless to stop him. It's total trust, and that's sexy."

Engage Her Senses to Build a Better Orgasm

1. Hearing

A woman's sexuality is socially influenced—that is, she heats up by discovering what turns her partner on, says Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., a sexuality educator at West Chester University.

Your move: Be vocal. Moan when she hits the right spots during oral sex, gasp when you enter her. These sound effects will cue her feedback loop and rev up her arousal.

2. Sight

Just like you, she can be turned on by a fleeting glance. "Women tend to respond genitally when they see anything sexual," says Nagoski.

Your move: Porn is great if she's game, but catch her when she's in front of a mirror. Kiss the back of her neck and move your hands across her front. You'll heighten her sense of both sight and touch—a surefire route to a mind-blowing orgasm.

3. Smell

The brain regions that control smell, memory, and sexual arousal are tightly linked, says Linda Banner, Ph.D., the author of Advanced Sexual Techniques.

Your move: You may have moved on to a new cologne, but spray some of the old stuff across your bed. When she hits the pillow, it'll trigger steamy, tension-busting memories of those romps from your early dating days.

4. Taste

Sweet treats on her tongue ring her brain's reward bells, making her ripe for arousal, according to a recent study from the University of Pittsburgh.

Your move:Seduce her by hand-feeding her fruits with curious textures, like pomegranates or lychees. The sugar and unique feel of the fruit on her lips and tongue can serve up an arousing double shot of pleasure.

5. Touch

You know the hot zones. But are you doing enough to stimulate the cool ones? "Most men forget about temperature," says Nagoski.

Your move: Hold an ice cube in your palm and as it melts, drip it down her abdomen. To touch off a heat wave, place a piece of candied ginger in your mouth and lick her inner thigh. Bonus: A foot massage can trigger the nerves that connect with her genitals

Michelle Ryan

As Jaime Sommers on NBC's reimagining of Bionic Woman, Michelle Ryan is TV's sexiest ass kicker. In real life she is the perfect example of a driven woman who doesn't need a man in her life. But that doesn't mean she doesn't want one to hang out and have fun with. "Underneath, we're still women," Ryan says. "We still want a man to tell us everything's going to be okay. At the same time, we want to be able to say, 'I can do things for myself. I'll make my own choices.' "

If you want to snatch your own bionic woman, Ryan suggests approaching her as an equal. "Don't try to be flash. There's a thin line between confidence and arrogance. A confident man with a sense of humor about himself is someone I can hang out with."

Michelle's Tips:

• Strip down psychologically. " I don't understand the instinct for game playing," Ryan says. And she doesn't approve of it either.

• Keep things simple. "People overcomplicate things," she says. "Everything in life can be simple. We like each other, so let's hang out."

• Don't look for a trophy. Girls like Ryan have bionic bullshit detectors. "I can tell if a guy is interested just because of ‘Oh, it's the girl from TV.

5 Secrets of Sexually Satisfied Women

 

We asked 3,289 women how happy they are with their sex lives. Then we took notes from the ones with the biggest smiles.

1. She Wants More

Although our survey shows that satisfied women have sex several times a week, two out of five are still left craving more. "Women have a broad definition of sex, so this doesn't necessarily mean they want more intercourse," says Scott Haltzman, M.D., author of The Secrets of Happily Married Men. "A woman might just want to feel more sexual in general, so let her know you're thinking about her throughout the day, and tinge it with sexuality." One way is to text her about dinner plans and ask her to wear her hot red blouse.

Listen in: "He's afraid of seeming too eager, but I have just as large a sex drive as he does." —Marissa, 19

2. She Knows She's Hot

Satisfied women don't suffer from low self-esteem—four in five think their partners find them extremely sexy. Want a confident girlfriend? Never criticize other women's bodies. "She'll worry about how you feel about hers," says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., sexual-health educator at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute. "She won't feel comfortable showing you her body if she's worried you'll think she's fat, ugly, or full of cellulite."

Listen in: "When I hear him compliment me in bed, it sends me over the top." —Jane, 28

3. She'll Speak Up

Satisfied women know what they want, and 87 percent will express it. "A woman comfortable asking for what she wants is going to be orgasmic more of the time," says Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D., author of For Each Other: Sharing Sexual Intimacy. Encourage her openness by increasing sex talk in nonsexual situations. But be sure to look out for nonverbal cues, too. "Some people do to their partners what they would like done to themselves," Barbach says. If she keeps touching you gently, for example, do that unto her.

Listen in: "I tell him everything. That's why we have great sex!" —Kathleen, 32

4. Pleasure's the Goal

Sounds crazy, but it's true: Orgasm isn't essential to a woman's sexual satisfaction. Three out of four women say the pleasure from sex makes orgasm less necessary. So relax—your laid-back approach can put her more at ease, making her more likely to climax. "The more you try to focus on orgasm, the more you scare it away," says Barbach. Instead, attend to her without that Big-O-or-Big-Zero attitude.

Listen in: "I don't love sex for the orgasms, I love it because it brings us closer together." —Sara, 22

5. Passion Trumps Size

The cliché is true: It is how you use it. Only 7 percent of sexually satisfied women say penis size is critical to their pleasure. The other 93 percent say they can be satisfied in other ways. "Passion is what keeps women coming back for more," says Yvonne K. Fulbright, Ph.D., the author of Touch Me There! Our survey participants agreed: They were 10 times as likely to rank both passion and generosity as more important than penis size.

What About It

Museum to be opened at Katasraj

 

THE Punjab Archaeology Department is setting up a museum at Katasraj near Chakwal to highlight the culture and history of this fine historical treasure. A team consisting of ex- perts and a few Punjab University Archaeology Department students is working on the site these days looking for archeological fragments found in and around Katas.

The research- ers are also working on the archi- tecture in the area and will re- cord their findings in a report. The site is famous for its temples, the most famous among them the one dedicated to Shiva. It has ex- isted since the days of Mahabharata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial part of their exile here.

Punjab Archeology Department Director Shahbaz Khan says the museum would have a pictorial gallery in which Hindu mythology will be high- lighted through historical refer- ences. Another gallery would he on architecture in which frag- mented pieces found from Katas will be put on display Other exhi- bition areas will also be estab- lished in the museum.

Mr Khan tells Dawn the muse- umwillbeset upeidneratflari Singh? Haveli located inside Katas and has been conserved or at the Bayragi House. The work is being doneon the finalisation of the loca- tion for museum, he added. The temples were abandoned by local Hindus when they migra- ted to India in 1947. It has always been the site of holy pilgrimage for people of various faiths. Even today, worshippers from all faiths perform pilgrimages to the tem- ple every year and bathe in the sacred pool here
