HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

One day, you’re passionate lovers who can’t keep your hands off each other. You can’t stop thinking about her lips, the softness of her skin, the scent of her hair. You find yourself daydreaming about his kisses. Sex is amazing. Every day brings a new discovery about your lover’s body and its responses to your touch.

Fast forward a few years. Your love has deepened. You’re not only lovers but the best of friends. Maybe you’ve even had a baby together. But somehow, when you weren’t looking, the passion and excitement of your early romance has gone missing. Where once you made love a few times a day, now you’re lucky if you get busy once a month.

Sound familiar? Routine is the enemy of desire. Even the most loving couple, faced with the demands and stresses of everyday life, can find themselves stuck in a sexual rut.

What’s the antidote to routine? Surprise. Anticipation. The unexpected. And that’s what this book is designed to create. Each seduction contains instructions for sexy scenarios that will surprise you. Delight you. Arouse you. And help you rediscover anticipation and excitement as you break out of your established sexual habits.

THE SEDUCTIONS

MOOD: You can pick a seduction in any order, based on your particular mood. Maybe you’re feeling romantic, or perhaps you want to explore your more daring, raunchier side—for this reason each seduction is labeled with a particular mood. The choice is yours!

SEASON: You can do most of the seductions at any time of year. However, some are more appropriate for certain seasons, and these are marked with the appropriate icon:

Spring

Summer

Fall

Winter

TIME OF DAY: We’ve also indicated whether a seduction is best carried out at a certain time of day:

Morning

Afternoon

Evening/Night

HIS OR HERS?

A note at the beginning of each scenario indicates my suggested “division of labor” for the seductions:

Suggested for : She takes charge: The woman plans and enacts the seduction. She may need her man’s cooperation, of course, but ideally, she won’t let him see the instructions, plunging him into delicious anticipation as he wonders what’s ahead.

Suggested for : He takes charge: The man plans and enacts the seduction, enlisting his partner as appropriate. Again, the element of surprise and anticipation is key.

Suggested for /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure: Pull the card, read it together, and decide how you’ll carry it out. After all, part of the fun of a doctor-patient fantasy scenario will be in shopping together for costumes and props!

Note that you don’t have to do these seductions in order. This book is designed as an à la carte menu—scan the plethora of choices to find the mood that appeals to you. If the description of a seduction sounds appealing, dive right in. But even if a description doesn’t interest you right off the bat, take a risk and give it a try. You never know what sexy game or activity, put into practice, will strike a chord with you and your lover.

NO.1
ASIAN FIVE-STAR RESORT

MOOD: Indulgent

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Although either gender will enjoy enacting this seduction, women—who often assume the role of “nurturer” in relationships—respond especially well to pampering from their man.

SETTING THE SCENE: Take your cue from the five-star hotels of Asia—only at this resort, you’ll be providing a very sexy turn-down service. Put clean, fresh sheets on the bed—invest in the softest, highest-thread-count sheets you can afford. Spread rose petals on the duvet cover and around the room. Make sure you have some massage oil within easy reach. In the bathroom, surround the tub with fine soaps and bath oils. Warm your towels and bathrobes in the dryer.

TECHNIQUES: Advise your lover that tonight, she is not to lift a finger. Order room service, or serve the supper you’ve planned on fine linen and silver, with special china, and arrange orange segments like a flower. Pour champagne into fine crystal flutes. Don’t let her touch the dishes! While she’s relaxing after your meal, draw a warm bath and sprinkle rose petals in it. Help her into the water, lowering her head onto a soft bath pillow. As she relaxes, gently soap her entire body, starting with her neck and moving down over her shoulders, chest, and torso. Then slide your hands down her legs, leaving her genitals alone for now, and work your way up from her toes. Run your soapy hands up and around her thighs, under her buttocks, and back up to her soft female folds. As you soap her love button with one hand, circle it slowly. At this point, even if she’s begging, don’t let her achieve release. Yet. Help her out of the bath, drying her with warmed towels. Have her crawl into the turned-down bed, and give her a wonderful massage. Finish off by delivering dessert—in this case, your warm, loving, naked body.

NO.2
KARMA SUTRA SEDUCTION: THE CLASPING POSITION

MOOD: Tender

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction celebrates the sense of touch. But you won’t just be using your fingers.

SETTING THE SCENE: This is all about making sure that your bedroom is a haven for the senses. De-clutter it as much as possible. Place scented candles around the room:scents conducive to romance include jasmine and sandalwood. Put soft, clean sheets on the bed and adorn it with pillows—not just at the head of the bed, but at the foot, too.

Extend this care to your body: shower and apply lotion to every inch of your skin. And when your lover arrives, don’t simply rush into sex. In fact, the Kama Sutra advises a man to welcome his lover and “entertain her with a loving and agreeable conversation.”

TECHNIQUES: When it’s time for lovemaking, you’ll use the largest organ of your body: your skin. Once you begin making love, stretch out your legs so that every part of your bodies touches, from the tips of your toes to your fingertips. It doesn’t matter who’s on top—you can even lie side by side. Wrap your legs around his; your feet should still touch. Slide your hands underneath each other’s shoulders and hold each other close. This is the clasping position.

From here, the partner on the bottom can caress the other person’s shoulders, back, and bottom. If you’re on your sides, both of you can enjoy the feeling of your lover’s skin. Use this as a chance to memorize every curve of your lover’s body: the swell of her hip, the strong muscles of his back. Close your eyes, allowing yourself to focus on every sensation.

Penetration won’t be very deep in this position, but you can still undulate your hips against each other to create subtle friction between penis, clitoris, and labia. Women, try straightening your legs between his and squeezing him with your vagina.

NO.3
CAKE OF THE KINGS (AND QUEENS)

MOOD: Anticipatory

SEASON: (ideally, the first Sunday in January) TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In France, the first Sunday in January is known as Le Jour des Rois (“The Day of the Kings”). Families gather for brunch, the highlight of which is the traditional galette des rois (“cake of the kings”). Hidden inside this cake is a small ceramic figurine, or feve. The person who finds it in their slice of cake is crowned king or queen for the evening. It’s a relaxing afternoon filled with fun and anticipation. And because anticipation is a key element in romance, this seduction adapts this French tradition for a sexy purpose.

SETTING THE SCENE: Bake your favorite dessert cake, but before you put the cake in the oven, add a small charm to the batter, or carefully insert one into the finished dish. While the French often add a tiny horseshoe for luck, you can add something a little naughtier, like the key to a pair of furry handcuffs or a cock ring!

TECHNIQUES: Present the cake to your lover with a bottle of champagne, and announce that whoever finds the “lucky charm” gets to don the crown and be Sex King (or Queen) for the night, with his or her every wish granted.

No matter what the sexual request, the key to making this seduction hot is to build anticipation. Flirt like mad. Fill her mind with naughty ideas by discussing your favorite encounters in intimate detail. Between each course, pull her onto your lap and give her a lingering (and, of course, French) kiss. Whisper in her ear what you’ll do to her if you get the feve. By the time you serve dessert, she’ll be ready to dig in to the cake—and into you.

NO.4
SCENT OF LOVE

MOOD: Pleasing

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Smells can arouse us sexually.

In this seduction, you’ll harness the power of smell and reach new heights of passion. You’ll blindfold him so that he’s forced to rely on his other senses, most notably, his sense of smell.

SETTING THE SCENE: First, assemble a variety of sweet-smelling items, especially those you know he likes: fresh strawberries and peaches, a truffle made of the finest chocolate, a glass of his favorite cabernet. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Be creative.

Next, anoint yourself with a dab of your signature perfume or cologne on the pulse points at your wrists, neck, and even behind your kneecaps.

TECHNIQUES: Have him stretch out on your bed or a couch, and then blindfold him. Keep the room quiet and dark to minimize distractions. Hold your chosen items near his nose, and ask him to tell you what they are. Cut a strawberry or peach in half to release its bouquet. Allow him to smell and then briefly taste a piece of chocolate. This tantalizing little exercise will focus his attention on his sense of smell—and prepare him for the main event: you.

After you’ve had him smell each item, familiarize him with the aroma of your skin. Move your body over him and let him inhale the perfume of your hair, the warmth of your breasts and thighs. Next, lie still while he—still blindfolded—moves over you. End by introducing him to the bouquet of your delicate female parts. Allow him to tease you with his tongue so that he can breathe in the musky fragrance of your arousal.

After this, the choice is yours. Try not to talk. Focus solely on the bouquet of your loved one’s skin.

NO.5
COOLING DOWN A LONG HOT NIGHT

MOOD: Luscious

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction makes use of two of the least expensive sexual toys on the market: the ice cubes in your freezer, and juicy ripe peaches, fresh from the market. You’ll use ice and frozen fruit to create a variety of thrilling sensations on his body, and to bring your own to ecstasy.

SETTING THE SCENE: Make sure you have lots of ice cubes. Early in the day, slice up some fresh peaches and peel a few bananas, then put them in the freezer. These two fruits tend to work best because they retain their shape when they’re sliced. Don’t let him see you doing this—part of the fun is the surprise! After the sun goes down, spread out a few towels on your bed or living room floor. Set out a bucket filled with ice cubes, then add the frozen fruit. Complain about how hot you are, take off all your clothes, and stretch out on the towels. Suggest that he join you. How could he refuse? When you’ve got him in the buff, ask him to close his eyes.

TECHNIQUES: Start by circling his nipples with an ice cube or a peach slice. Trail it down his breastbone and stomach to his pubic area, then down the inside of his thighs. Hold an ice cube in your mouth while you suck gently on his penis, thrilling him with the contrast between your warm mouth and the cold ice. If he can stand it, run the ice over his testicles. Again, follow with your warm, teasing tongue.

Now that you’ve got his attention, put on a show. Stroke an ice cube across your nipples and let him see how hard they become. Tease yourself with a frozen peach slice, then hand it to him and let him do the honors. When neither of you can stand it any longer, go at it. You’ll have the ice right there to cool yourselves down, and sweet peaches for a post-coital snack.

NO.6
SIDE BY SIDE

MOOD: Gentle

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Side-by-side sexual positions can be especially sweet. If done while facing each other, these positions heighten intimacy. It’s nice for when you first get into bed, as it creates a gentle, unhurried beginning to your lovemaking. And the “spoon” position, where the man is behind the woman, allows lots of skin-to-skin contact that is especially comforting. It’s a great way to turn that cuddling session into something racier.

SETTING THE SCENE: The beauty of this seduction is that it requires no fancy props other than a comfortable place to lie down. It can be done anywhere. You could be in bed, on a comfortable couch, on a blanket under the night sky, or on a camping trip.

TECHNIQUES: To enjoy this particular seduction to its fullest, start fully clothed. Lie down facing each other, where you’re free to talk, kiss, and caress each other. As you and your gal become more aroused, slip off her pants and underwear, then your own. Lift and bend her top leg, setting it against your hip. You may need to guide your penis into her. You won’t be able to thrust very vigorously, and penetration will be shallow, but this is a good position from which to move into missionary or woman-on-top positions.

“SPOON” VARIATION: As you’re laying side by side, snuggle up to her with your chest to her back. Guide her hand to your member so she can feel how much you want her. Again, penetration may not be very deep in this position, but this means you might be able to last longer. Change the angle by stretching her top leg back over yours. Caress her breasts or clitoris as you grind together.

LADIES: The pressure of your thighs around his penis will create some seductive sensations for him. To allow your man to thrust more deeply, bend your knees and encourage him to tuck his knees in behind you as he clasps your hips for leverage.

NO.7
OVER THE TOP

MOOD: Playful

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: When it comes to foreplay, there’s nothing racier—or more versatile—than the trusty hand job. You can engage in manual labor almost any time, and any place, and you don’t even have to get fully undressed.

SETTING THE SCENE: Unless you know for a fact that your man likes you to stroke his penis dry, be sure to have a good lubricant nearby. Start by telling him that tonight, it’s all about him. With your most seductive voice, let him know that you’ve learned some new techniques, and you’want to test them out on him.

TECHNIQUES: Don’t just go right for his member. Get him excited first with lots of deep kissing. Caress his shoulders, chest, and back, and when the time is right, slide your hand down his chest and stomach to his bulge. Gently massage his erection. Undo his belt buckle, open all the buttons, or unzip the zipper all the way. Once you’ve liberated his penis, you’re ready to play.

First, press one hand firmly against the base of his member, your thumb and forefinger forming an “L” to hold him at attention. Then grip him with the lubed hand, putting your forefinger and thumb at the bottom and your pinky at the top, near the ridge. Holding his staff securely, with the same pressure as you’d use on a baseball bat, slide up to the top. When you get to the head, instead of going back down the way you came, twist over the head and caress it with your palm and fingers in a swiveling motion. (Imagine trying to screw in a light bulb with an open hand.) But don’t linger: quickly descend the other side, pinky finger first. Keep your hand in contact with his staff at all times; he won’t want you to let go.

NO.8
ROAD TRIP

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction lends itself well to those long hot summer days when you want to get out of town for a little R&R. The sense that you’re almost in public, but not quite, makes fooling around in your car that much hotter.

SETTING THE SCENE: Go for a spin in the countryside, and head toward a secluded (but safe) road. You don’t want to have a police officer tapping on your window just as things get hot and heavy, or risk exposing yourselves to passersby. Dress for success: gals should wear a skirt and guys should wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Throughout this scenario, keep in mind that while it’s okay to engage in limited foreplay on the road (if at all), save your orgasm for the roadside. Anything else could be distracting, and that equals dangerous. Sure, the risk is part of the appeal to this seduction, but we’re talking about the implied risk of exposure, not risk to life and limb.

TECHNIQUES: Rev your engines by letting your hands graze across each other’s thighs and lap. Gals, rub your man once, lightly, through his pants—just enough to hint at the delights to come. Reach under your skirt and stroke yourself, but tell him not to look. Guys, once you’ve stopped the car someplace safe where you’re not going to be interrupted, you can let her guide your hand between her legs.

Now the real fun begins. Be as naughty as you dare. Let your hands roam over each other’s bodies and take each other right up to the brink of orgasm. Lean over and take him in your mouth. If he was the one driving, pull him into the passenger seat, and climb on top of him with your knees on either side of his hips. Or turn away from him, so you can brace your hands on the dashboard as you bounce up and down on his lap.

NO.9
SUPERCHARGED ORAL SEX

MOOD: Electrifying

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction, a favorite vibrator turns great oral sex into fantastic oral sex.

SETTING THE SCENE: To heighten anticipation, pick out a vibrator. She won’t know exactly what you have in mind, which will make it even more exciting. A small battery vibrator will work best, because you won’t be tethered to an electrical cord and power outlet.

TECHNIQUES: First, make sure she’s relaxed and comfortable. Slide a pillow under her bottom to make it more comfortable for both of you. Don’t just dive straight for her clitoris: warm her up with lots of deep kissing and teasing. Then, turn the vibrator on low and put it under your tongue as you lick and probe her delicate folds, moving slowly up to her love button. After a bit, move the vibrator to her vaginal opening or anus as you continue to pleasure her. Communication will be key here. Encourage her to tell you where she would like you to use both your tongue and the vibrator, and to let you know if the toy distracts her as she gets closer to orgasm.

If the combination of vibrator and tongue becomes too stimulating for either of you, you can put the toy aside and turn yourself into a human sex toy by humming as you lick and suck her. Even if you’re simply moaning in delight, the vibrations from the sound will underscore the pleasure you’re giving her with your tongue.

EXTRA CREDIT: When it’s your turn, let her caress you with her vibrator as she goes down on you. Ask her to hold her vibrator against the base of your penis or testicles, press it to your perineum, or circle it around your anus.

NO.10
TAKE A SEAT

MOOD: Bawdy

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Men love women-on-top positions. In fact, for at least one-third of men, this is their favorite position. In this seduction, you’ll again be on top, but with a racy twist: you’ll face away from him in what’s known as a “reverse cowgirl.” What makes this seduction even sexier is that you’ll perform it sitting in a chair.

SETTING THE SCENE: Make sure you choose a chair that’s comfortable and sturdy, ideally with a supportive back. Have him take a seat, and tell him not to move—yet. But don’t just hop on him. Warm him up by kissing him passionately, brushing your nipples against his chest. Tease him. Build anticipation.

TECHNIQUES: When he’s fully erect, turn so that your back is to him, and put your legs on either side of his. The T’ung Hsüan Tzu, an ancient Taoist pillow book, calls this position “the Goat and the Tree.” You can also place your legs inside his, although it’s more difficult to maneuver in this position.

Reach behind and take hold of his penis, rubbing it against your silky buttocks and your clitoris. If you’re blessed with strong legs, you can even tease him by lowering yourself a tiny bit, then standing up so that he slips out. Slowly slide down the full length onto his erection, wrapping your legs around the outside of his thighs.

From here, he won’t be able to move much, so you’re in charge. Use your feet for leverage, and vary your speed as you bounce up and down, gently rock back and forth, or swivel your hips. Caress his scrotum and inner thighs. As you move faster and faster, squeeze him with your vaginal muscles, as though you’re “milking” him. Lean forward slightly and put your hands on his thighs, which gives him an even better view of your derriere and lets him watch his member sliding in and out of you.

NO.11
HORIZONTAL MAMBO

MOOD: Fiery

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction, use rhythm to create a spontaneous, sexy dance of lust during the actual act, so that your bodies flow from one position to another as you build to an earth-shattering climax.

SETTING THE SCENE: While you can fill your CD or MP3 player with whatever music you find most seductive, for the purposes of this seduction, focus on Latin American music like the mambo, one of the most rhythmic dances of all, and the samba.

TECHNIQUES: Because mambo tends to have a faster rhythm, use it for flirting and foreplay. Start out by dancing standing up (“Babarabatiri” by Pérez Prado works perfectly). You don’t have to know the steps. Just dance. Laugh. Shake your bodies against each other. Bump and grind. As you warm up and get hotter and hotter, remove one piece of clothing after another. When you can’t stand it any longer, pull him down to the couch or your bed.

Here’s when your erotic samba starts. Kiss and fondle each other, feeling the sinuous sounds of the music enter your blood as he enters you, and you become more and more excited. Intertwine your limbs. Thrust in time to the music. From there, bend one leg around his, weaving yourself around him and drawing him close. Press your leg against his thigh to hold him against you. Do the same with the other leg, gripping him tightly. Now you can move your legs up, over and back down again as you bump and grind against him in time to the pulsing of the music.

NO.12
THE RACE OF THE MEMBER

MOOD: Daring

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Like most woman-on-top positions, the Race of the Member puts the female in charge, with an added twist. Because the man will be almost helpless on his back, he must be willing to explore what it feels like to be dominated sexually, and the woman must be willing to dominate. This sense of role reversal can be tremendously exciting, as it allows you to push your sexual envelope, to move out of your comfort zone into the realm of erotic possibility.

SETTING THE SCENE: No special props are required for this seduction other than a firm but comfortable surface, like a not-too-soft bed or couch, or even a carpeted floor. You’ll also need a cushion to support your man’s head and shoulders.

TECHNIQUES: Start by engaging in a hot and heavy make-out session. When he’s fully erect, have him lie on his back with a cushion under his shoulders. Ask him to draw his knees up to his chest; then, placing your feet flat on the bed, lower yourself onto him so that you’re sitting on the back of his thighs—with his erect penis inside you. Imagine that you’ve mounted the saddle of an untamed Arabian stallion. By flexing your knees, you can move up and down on him, slowly and tantalizingly. Don’t put all your weight on the back of his thighs unless he’s really limber. He won’t be able to move much, but that’s part of the appeal of this seduction. He can help you “ride” him by putting his hands around your waist or under your butt as you stroke up and down on his shaft. He can also wrap his legs around your waist.

NO.13
PARTY TRICKS

MOOD: Naughty

SEASON: (especially holiday party season) TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Many people fantasize about having sex in a place where they might get caught. “Danger arousal” happens when fear causes the body to produce adrenaline, the same chemical your body makes when you’re horny. Recreate this thrill by having a party quickie.

SETTING THE SCENE: Party trysts by definition preclude the possibility of long, drawn-out lovemaking: the longer you take, the greater your chances of being discovered. Underwear is an obstacle, so ladies, if you’re wearing a long fancy skirt, go without. If you’re wearing a shorter skirt, wear a G-string or thong that can be easily pushed aside. Guys, consider going “commando-style.”

Meanwhile, scope out possible locations: a guest bedroom, an upstairs bathroom, a secluded corner of the garden. Any room should have a lock; in a pinch, push a chair up against the door.

TECHNIQUES: When the time is right, inform your date that you have to have him or her right now. Drag him off to whatever secluded spot you’ve chosen. Then get busy. In a bathroom, you can sit on the counter while he stands. Or turn around and brace yourself as he enters you from behind. This has the added, extra-hot benefit of letting both of you watch your reactions in the mirror. Standing positions also let you “recover” more easily if interrupted.

In tight spaces, like a walk-in closet, the gal can lie down and pull her knees to her chest while her guy kneels in front of her. At the office party, lock an office door and back a chair up against a wall, and lie back on the desk or conference table.

After you’re done, don’t linger. Just rearrange your clothes and return to the festivities, a big smile plastered on your faces.

NO.14
EROTIC BOOK REVIEW

MOOD: Salacious

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction, you’ll read erotica aloud to your partner, combining the power of the written word with the hypnotic effect of your voice.

SETTING THE SCENE: Finding material for your erotic story time won’t be hard. Your woman may have her own stash of tried-and-true smut, but if you want to surprise her, most chain bookstores carry erotica. If you’re looking for a variety of voices, you can turn to annual erotica anthologies like Best American Erotica, Herotica, or Best Women’s Erotica.

If you aren’t confident in your storytelling voice, another option is to try an audiobook. Many erotica anthologies are available on CDs or as downloadable MP3 files. Some, like Cyborgasm or Cyborgasm 2, contain recordings of real sexual encounters as well. A great website to check out is Audible.com, which has an entire section on erotica and sexuality. Another is SimplyAudiobooks.com, where you can either buy or rent audiobooks like Anne Rice’s “Beauty” erotica series.

TECHNIQUES: Get into bed together or stretch out on the couch and have her lay her head on your lap. Tell her that all she needs to do is close her eyes, relax, and listen, and that she is absolutely encouraged to touch herself if she feels so inclined. Then start reading.

Pause periodically to kiss and tease her. Keep one hand on her at all times. Absentmindedly play with her nipples, or slip your hand between her legs to gauge her arousal level. But no matter how much she begs, be sure to finish the story. But don’t feel guilty if you reach the climax way before you close the book.

NO.15
A TIT-ILLATING EVENING

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction involves the use of sex toys called nipple clamps. Although they are often associated with bondage or fetish play, lovers can use them to heighten their pleasure without anyone being tied up. Essentially, nipple clamps produce an intense sensation that’s like having your skin sucked or bitten. The more aroused your partner is, the better the chance that nipple play will feel erotic rather than painful.

SETTING THE SCENE: Because there are props involved, you’ll need to set up this seduction beforehand. Take her to a high-class adult store, or bookmark a few websites that sell adult toys and set an evening aside for browsing. The idea that she’ll be picking out the instruments of her pleasure will heighten the anticipation.

TECHNIQUES: Have her relax while you massage or pinch her nipples lightly, or roll them between your thumb and index finger. Wet your fingers and stroke them across her. Tease her breasts with your fingernails, or suck her nipples gently. Once she’s aroused, it’s time to apply the clamps. The first time you try this, go slow. Place the clamp behind the tip rather than directly on it, which will be more comfortable and reduce the chance of the clamp falling off. If your toys have a strong bite, try clasping them around her areola first.

Experiment with the sensations. Encourage her to give you feedback about what feels good—and to pleasure herself, if she wants. Release the clamp slowly: she may feel a very strong sensation as the blood flows back, which could be as exciting as the application.

NOTE: Be careful with nipple clamps if she has breast implants or cystic breasts. Twenty minutes is about the maximum amount of time you should leave them on.

NO.16
SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL

MOOD: Lusty

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Like the words to many blues songs, the lyrics to Big Joe Turner’s 1954 hit “Shake, Rattle and Roll” are masterpieces of hilarious sexual innuendo. How else to take phrases like, “You make me roll my eyes, baby make me grit my teeth”. In this seduction, you’ll channel this raunchiness into some earthy good times.

SETTING THE SCENE: Plan drinks at your local dive bar—make sure they have a jukebox and a dance floor—or fill your CD player with lusty blues tunes, particularly those by artists such as Tampa Red (“It’s Tight Like That”) and Bo Carter (“Please Warm My Weiner”).

TECHNIQUES: Start this seduction while you’re still at the bar. Grind against him as you dance. Get him so hot that he can hardly wait to get out of there. Once you get him home, fire up some X-rated blues songs. You don’t even have to take your clothes off to get busy: unzip his zipper, pull up your skirt, lean back against a wall and let him have his way with you. Stay standing just long enough to pull him to a couch or to the ground.

Have your man sit with his legs outstretched and knees bent. Lower yourself onto his lap, laying your right thigh over his left thigh, and your left thigh over his right—but don’t kneel just yet. Keep your feet on the ground for as long as you can. Hold on to his upper arms for balance as he grasps yours and pulls you onto your knees and onto his erection.

Let the music inform your moves. Ask him to insert himself into you partway and thrust quickly and shallowly before burying himself into you and pounding away. As he thrusts, swivel your hips and encourage him to do the same, as though he’s stirring a pot. This works great if his erection is especially hard. Make good use of your PC muscles, and you’ll be rocking and rolling all night long.

POP HIS CORK

MOOD: Buoyant

SEASON: (especially New Year’s Eve) TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: There are many things to love about the hand job; one of the most important is its versatility. This seduction gives you three methods of manual labor especially suited for festive occasions (like New Year’s Eve). The third variation takes its name from one of the best methods for opening a bottle of champagne, and, successfully executed, it will cause him to toast you throughout the year.

SETTING THE SCENE: Establish the mood with a nice bottle of champagne. After you’ve had a glass or two and are feeling romantic, show your man that you don’t just reserve your handiwork for the Moët. Make sure that you have lots of lubricant on hand (and make sure that it’s water- or silicone-based if you want to have intercourse using a condom later). Position yourself so that you have easy access to his staff. Lie or sit on his right side if you’re right-handed; on his left, if you’re left-handed. Or you can kneel on the floor in front of him if he’s sitting on the couch.

TECHNIQUES: Touch your index finger to your thumb to form the “OK” sign, or use all four fingers to form an “O”-shape. Place it at the base of his shaft, grasping firmly. This keeps his penis straight, smooth, and at attention. Do the same with your other hand, placing it next to the other “ring.” Spiral this hand toward the top, and back down again. Start slowly, and build up speed. Most men like a constant, firm pressure, with a little more speed as they approach climax.

However, you can vary the motion, if he’s amenable. As your “ring” reaches the top, repeat the motion with the other hand so that you’re starting at the base just as the other hand reaches the tip. Repeat, hand over hand.

NO.18
CABANA BOY

MOOD: Fantasy

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: The cabana boy fantasy is a perennial favorite, and it’s easy to see why. It puts the woman in charge of a handsome stud who’s at her disposal.

SETTING THE SCENE: Don’t worry if you don’t have a pool; in a pinch, all this fantasy needs is a lounge chair and a willing servant. Dress in revealing swimwear (a comfy bathrobe is okay, too) with a big sun hat. Stylish sunglasses are a must. Your cabana boy should be equipped with the skimpiest pool wear he can handle: trunks and a tank top, or perhaps just a Speedo.

TECHNIQUES: Attitude is everything. You are the wealthy starlet who calls the shots. Your obedient cabana boy must attend to several necessary duties. In a pleasant but businesslike tone, instruct him to clean the pool. Using the net is an excellent opportunity for your cabana boy to stretch and flex his muscles while you enjoy your drink. Peer over your sunglasses to enjoy the show; let him know you like what you see. Ask him to help apply suntan lotion to some of those hard to reach spots on your back…and lower.

Because you’re so good at your job, cabana boy, you’ll see that applying the lotion to her back is a natural segue to massaging her shoulders, feet…and everything in between. If her bikini top should slip off during the massage, rub lotion onto her breasts in slow circular stokes, using the flat of your hands to carefully massage her nipples. Perhaps she’ll return the favor and apply lotion to your arms, chest, and shoulders—your back and buttocks if she’s feeling very generous.

This, of course, will lead to all manner of satisfying activities. Instruct him to recline on the chaise lounge as you mount him. Afterwards, if you like, you can take a refreshing dip in the pool.

NO.19
PRIVATE HAREM

MOOD: Exotic

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: The word harem brings to mind beautiful women who exist only to serve the desires of a randy sheik. But this is only part of the truth: During Turkey’s Ottoman Empire, the women of the sultan’s harem wielded enormous political power and were highly talented in dance, poetry, and the erotic arts. In this seduction, you’ll play with the power exchange between a favored concubine and her sultan.

SETTING THE SCENE: Here’s your chance to get into the role of seductress. Search out the most alluring lingerie you can find. Adorn yourself with toe rings, belly jewels, bangles, and even finger tambourines. Turn your bedroom into an opulent chamber of love. Invest in satin sheets and some silk-covered throw pillows. Buy a peacock-feather fan.

TECHNIQUES: Let your man know that tonight, you are at his service. Draw him a bath and soap him from head to toe, leaving his manhood for last. Have him stretch out on the bed for an erotic massage, using fast strokes and percussive movements to energize his senses. Tease him with firm, feathering strokes that alternate with light touches.

Calling him “master” will allow both of you to dip into the fantasy. But remember, even though technically he’s in charge, you have the power to enslave him with your talents. Kneel between his legs and gaze upon his manhood with admiration. Make an “L” with your hands and put them at the base of his shaft to hold him erect as you slide him into your mouth. To send him over the edge, take his entire penis into your mouth and then come back up, letting your lips pop over the ridge. Watch him to make sure you don’t bring him to orgasm. When he’s getting close, beg him to let you hop onto him for the main course.

NO.20
STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasuree

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction will help you find that spark that attracted you to each other by role-playing that time-honored tradition that defines lust and nothing but: the one-night stand.

SETTING THE SCENE: First, decide on a bar. It should be one you don’t normally frequent. Second, arrive separately. If you live together, this means that the woman needs to kick her man out of the house so that she can get ready without him seeing what she’s going to wear. And vice versa. Third, each of you should dress as you did when you were single and heading out for a night on the town. Last but not least, decide who’s going to take the lead in “picking up” the other person.

TECHNIQUES: When you arrive at the location, remember that you are total strangers. Sit at opposite sides of the bar, but catch each other’s eye. When he or she isn’t looking, study him or her and notice what attracts you. Is it her sultry eyes? Is it his full lower lip that makes you want to take it between your teeth? You can even talk or flirt with other people, but remember, the goal isn’t to make the other person jealous. You’re engaging in a mating dance. Use your best flirting techniques with your lover-now-stranger: hold his gaze a little longer than necessary. Brush against him on your way to the ladies’ room. Send her a drink.

When the time is right, amble over to your “target.” Don’t touch the other person. Remember that you’re two strangers who have just met. Here’s your chance to act out a new persona. The more you get into your roles, the more fun you’ll have. Draw it out as long as possible, until one of you convinces the other to go home with him or her. Don’t drop your roles when you leave the bar, either. Go back to your place and do naughty things to each other like two people who will never see each other again.

NO.21
DOCTOR’S ROUNDS

MOOD: Risqué

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: One reason the stereotypical doctor/patient fantasy is so powerful is it lets someone who’s normally timid take on the role of an authority figure. Meanwhile, the partner who habitually feels the need to be in control can assume the more submissive role of a patient who always follows the doctor’s orders.

SETTING THE SCENE: Depending on your budget, you can turn your bedroom into a hospital room or your home office into a doctor’s office. Alternatively, the doctor can make a “house call” and take advantage of all the comforts your bedroom has to offer. You can buy hospital scrubs cheaply at uniform stores or thrift shops. A desk or coffee table can double as an “exam” table. The vulnerability of spreading one’s legs for a complete “physical” can be arousing.

TECHNIQUES: Using your most professional bedside manner, have your patient lie down on the bed (or desk) and give him a thorough hands-on checkup. Take his pulse, listen to his heart, methodically feel his neck, arms, legs, and torso for any tenderness; you may need to lift parts of his clothing to examine closer. Have him stick out his tongue and say “Ahhh.” Make inquiries: how is he feeling? Is there anything that needs to be looked at? Are any spots sensitive today? He’ll need to lie back and follow your instructions precisely.

Now that your patient’s at your mercy, stroke or suck his penis to gauge his “erectile response window.” Run your fingertips over his jewel pouch to check his “scrotal sensitivity.” If he’s willing and into it, slip a lubed finger into his back door to assess his “prostate health” as you pleasure him with your mouth. There’s no end to the protocols you’ll need to perform for an accurate—and complete—diagnosis.

NO.22
PRIVATE ESCORT

MOOD: Naughty SEASON: Any

TIME OF DAY: or

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: For her, this fantasy is a chance to dress to the naughty nines, be bad, and try on a sophisticated, take-charge persona. For him, it’s a chance to safely break the rules and enjoy a transgressive thrill.

SETTING THE SCENE: Call your guy at his office and tell him you’ve arranged an after-work surprise for him. Tell him what time you’ll meet him and where: a five-star hotel lobby is ideal. If you can, book a room; if you’re on a budget, head back to his place.

TECHNIQUES: Women, for you, the outfit and attitude are key. Put on your favorite little black dress and black stockings. Complete the ensemble with classic black lingerie and high heels.

When the time comes to make your grand entrance, wait a minute or two to build his anticipation. Stride across the hotel lobby and revel in the admiring looks you’ll receive from the other men; their envious glances will make your man feel like the king of the world when you walk up to him.

Once you’re in his room, let him know you’re all business—avoid small talk by putting a finger to his lips and telling him he doesn’t need to be nervous: The agency has taken care of everything. You’re his for the evening. Unzip him and pull down his pants and underwear in one smooth motion. Now urge him to lie back on the bed and let you take care of him. Let him watch as you remove your panties, then run your nails over his legs as you arch over him and bring your mouth to his penis. Work your way astride him and lower yourself onto him, placing your hands on his shoulders. Let him hear you take pleasure from your work, and show him why you earn such exorbitant amounts of money every night.

NO.23
THE ART OF KISSING

MOOD: Romantic

SEASON: TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: The touch of a lover’s lips on any part of your body can be incredibly exciting. Use your kissing skills to give your lover hints of the delights to come.

SETTING THE SCENE: The beauty of kissing is that it can be done anytime, anywhere. Remember the joys of making out in a dark theater? The front seat of your car? You don’t need any special props, either. You can be fully dressed, or completely naked. It’s fun to surprise your lover with kisses at unexpected times, in unexpected places.

TECHNIQUES: Kissing is an art, so approach it like one. As you take in your lover’s face, imagine how his lips would feel on your skin. Don’t rush to kiss him: flirt, flirt, flirt, moving closer until you can sense that you’re both aching to kiss each other. Start out slowly, brushing his lips with yours to build anticipation. Enjoy the moment when your tongues first taste each other and begin to intertwine and play with each other. Slide your tongue in and out of his mouth to demonstrate what you’d like his penis to do to you.

A good kisser knows to vary her techniques. Alternate between gentle kisses and deep, passionate ones. Take a break from kissing his mouth to shower his neck, ears, and chest with attention. Suck on his lower lip. Cover his ears with your hands so that your palms block out all sound, focusing his attention on your mouth.

Weave kissing into your lovemaking as well. There’s nothing as powerful as mingling your mouths and breath. Pull his lips to yours as you approach orgasm. Afterwards, take his face between your hands and show him how much you adore him by covering his mouth with gentle kisses. No words necessary.

NO.24
SENSUAL MASSAGE PRIMER

MOOD: Arousing

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: or

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: A sexy massage can help you and your partner get in the mood for love and heighten anticipation.

SETTING THE SCENE: The ambiance you create is important. Set the stage with soft lighting or candles, making sure it’s not too dark—you don’t want her to fall asleep. Put on some sexy music (rather than the relaxing tracks you hear in spas). Keep some towels nearby for excess massage oil and to drape over her body if she gets cold.

Speaking of massage oils, be sure to pick a good one that will be absorbed quickly and won’t feel too greasy.

TECHNIQUES: First and most important: before you touch your partner, warm your hands by rubbing them together or washing them in warm water. Gently place your warmed hands on her body and pause. This centers the connection between you. Begin massaging her with long, flat-handed strokes, starting at her buttocks and moving up either side of her spine, circling around and back. Because you’re trying to arouse her, use faster strokes to knead her muscles rather than slow, deep ones.

Then switch to firm, feathering strokes. Starting at her scalp, run your fingers down her body, around her earlobes and neck. Ask her to roll over, then turn your attention to the insides of her arms, breasts, belly button, inner thighs, calves, and toes. Tease her mons pubis—the soft mound that covers her pubic bone—with a “barely there” touch. Lighten the stroke each time until you’re barely touching her. Graze her skin lightly with your fingertips—or even peacock feathers, if you have them.

Now that you’ve aroused her body and made her tingle with anticipation, replace your fingers with your lips, and start showering her with hundreds of kisses. If your fingers have worked their magic properly, you’ll be rewarded by a willing and receptive lover.

NO.25
BUBBLE BATH FOR TWO

MOOD: Relaxing

SEASON: / TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Tonight’s seduction washes away cares, encourages you to feel pampered, and puts you in the mood for erotic pleasures.

SETTING THE SCENE: First, make sure your bathroom is spotless. Light scented candles. Play your favorite soft music or ambient sounds. If you want to go all-out, sprinkle rose petals in the water. When filling the tub, remember that a hot bath will stimulate, while skin-temperature water will be more relaxing. Of course, don’t forget the bubble bath or bath salts.

TECHNIQUES: Once you’re both soaking, you can face each other, or one partner can sit between the other’s legs. Scrub your lover’s back with a loofah. Have her lean back against your chest, and gently touch her nipples as you work the soap into a lather. With a warm washcloth or sea sponge, work your way down her body, ending between her legs, where you can gently clean her most private areas. Let her put her hand over yours to guide you. Then switch places.

Ladies, slide the sponge down over his chest and abs and then lower. Remind him to hold still as you slowly soap his penis and testicles, paying special attention to the underside of the shaft below the head. To take things further, slide towards him and wrap your legs around each other. Use your entire body to send him into a true lather.

There’s no need to be serious in the bath, either. Get creative, even childlike. Write messages on each other’s backs using soapsuds and have the recipient try to guess what you’re saying.

It’s up to you whether you attempt lovemaking in the tub—water tends to wash away lubrication, sadly, and smaller tubs can be uncomfortable. But you can have lots of fun bringing your lover to the brink, then toweling each other off and slipping between the sheets.

NO.26
THE FABRIC OF DESIRE

MOOD: Sensual

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction, you’ll reawaken her sensitive nerve endings and reignite their potential for erotic pleasure.

SETTING THE SCENE: Prepare for her by assembling items made of a variety of items that run the gamut of textures: everything from a soft silk tie, a fur throw or swatch of velvet, to a wool scarf or the sleeve of your terrycloth robe. Look for other objects that might produce a sensory reaction: a feather duster, the fuzz of a fresh peach. Throw in some rougher objects, like a loofah or pumice stone. Don’t let her see your collection, however: Surprise is the key to this seduction.

Blindfold her and tell her she’s at your mercy. Help her undress down to her panties and stretch her out on the bed.

TECHNIQUES: Start by telling her that she must lie still and focus only on sensations. Lightly touch her skin with each item. Tease them gently across her face, belly, and inner thighs, down to her legs and toes. It’s particularly important that you use a light touch when you’re stroking her with a rougher object like a loofah. You don’t want to scratch her skin. Pay special attention to her breasts and nipples—watch them stand at attention—but leave her private parts alone for now, even though they’ll be aching for you. The anticipation will drive her wild.

Finally, turn your attention to her erogenous zones. Grasping the waistband of her panties, gently pull up the fabric so that it rubs against her clitoris until she’s aroused and wet. Then slide them down over her hips and thighs. Now that’s she’s completely nude and at your mercy, caress her erogenous zones with the materials you’ve used on the rest of her skin. To release her from your sensual teasing, end by stroking her skin with your hard manhood. But leave the blindfold on!

NO.27
UNDER THE STARS

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Isolating yourselves in an environment of natural beauty can do wonders for soothing your frazzled souls and firing up your libidos. Could there be anything more romantic—or more soothing—than making love under a canopy of stars, serenaded by rustling trees and rushing water?

SETTING THE SCENE: All you need is a sleeping bag, camping supplies, and a three-person tent, which will give you more room if you plan to take your fun undercover. Reserve a campsite, or, if roughing it isn’t your style, try one of the many “luxury” campgrounds that abound nowadays.

Note that you don’t have to go camping to get out under the stars: you might not want to go any further than your secluded backyard, or the roof of your building, if you can be sure that you won’t be seen by neighbors.

TECHNIQUES: Location is everything. Make sure you don’t set up camp on a bed of poison oak, and if you’re not in an established campsite, stay alert for bugs, animals, and livestock. If you’re in a populated campground, you may not be able to knock knees outside of your tent, and you’ll have to avoid loud moaning while in it, but the thought that there’s only a thin nylon barrier between you and discovery can give you an erotic thrill.

So, let’s say you’re in the perfect situation: isolated (yet safe) campsite, starry evening, roaring campfire. Put a pad or air mattress on the ground and zip your sleeping bags together. Take in the sight of your lover’s nude body illuminated by the campfire. Be sure you switch between missionary and woman-on-top positions so that you each get a view of the spectacular, glittering sky above you.

If you’re in your backyard or on your roof, you can still heighten the romance factor. Turn off the lights inside your house; the fewer that are on, the better chance you’ll have of seeing the stars. On the roof, make sure you’re situated away from prying eyes (and the edge of the building). You might have to hide behind a wall, or set up a barricade of lawn chairs. No privacy? Start foreplay on the roof with a good make-out session, the lights of the city twinkling beyond, and then move downstairs for the act itself.

NO.28
RIDE ‘EM COWGIRL

MOOD: Wild

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: The Cowgirl is a classic woman-on-top maneuver that every woman should have in her sexual repertoire. It’s a favorite with both sexes, and for good reason. She gets to be in the driver’s seat, where she can control the angle and depth of penetration—maybe even hitting her G-spot—as well as the pace of the thrusts. The man gets to lie back and enjoy a full-frontal view of his gal’s luscious, bouncing body, and, if he’s creative, play with her breasts and clitoris.

SETTING THE SCENE: Depending on your taste in music, put on some raunchy country tunes to set the mood. Or watch Urban Cowboy to see how John Travolta rides that bull. A few belts of your favorite liquor will loosen any lingering inhibitions you might have about being in control.

TECHNIQUES: Tell your guy to park it. This time, you’ll be calling the shots. Have him stretch out, face up, on your bed or the floor. Then straddle his body while you kneel, facing him. Carefully lower yourself onto his waiting love wand. Now you can start rocking up and down, playing with the movement and adjusting the angle to suit your taste. When he thrusts up from this position, you’ll get good G-spot coverage. You can lean back to let him play with your clitoris, or lean forward to offer him your breasts or a hot kiss. You can also rest your torso on his and grind him from side to side or in circles.

When you’ve mastered this position, try it again while facing away from him: this is the infamous Reverse Cowgirl. He’ll love the view, and you’ll love the way he hits your G-spot.

A more advanced variation is the Asian Cowgirl. This is basically the same as the regular Cowgirl, except that instead of riding on your knees, you crouch with your feet on either side of his hips. It’s a more strenuous position to hold, so he can help by supporting you with his hands. This might take some getting used to, but it’s worth the extra effort.

NO.29
JEWEL POUCH

MOOD: Exploratory

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Reach under that penis and you’ll find the darndest thing: a fleshy sack dangling with a pair of oddly vulnerable little orbs inside: the scrotum and testicles. Getting to know this part of his sexual equipment is a great opportunity to enhance your man’s pleasure.

SETTING THE SCENE: A comfortable place to recline is the most important part of this seduction. Feathers and soft bristled brushes, such as sable paint or makeup brushes, are great additions to your sensual toolkit and can add greatly to the overall experience.

TECHNIQUES: Next time you find yourself between his thighs or riding him Reverse Cowgirl style, reach down and cup his boys in your hand. You can also lay him face down on the bed for specialized attention to his cojones. They’re sensitive little animals, so use extreme delicacy and a tender, soothing touch. Gentle squeezes, long strokes and teasing the skin gently with your nails (or a feather or makeup brush) all feel great, as long as you take care not to jostle them around or squeeze too hard.

During oral sex, increase your man’s enjoyment immensely by bringing his testicles and scrotum into the game. Licking or blowing over the skin will drive him wild. So will sucking gently on one or both of his sacs. Use one hand to stroke his erection, and another to play with his jewel pouch. Make a ring with your thumb and index finger at the top of his sac, and pull gently downward on his scrotum while you stroke or suck the shaft. Time the downward strokes with the rhythm of your hand or mouth.

NO.30
KARMA SUTRA SEDUCTION: THE CONGRESS OF A COW

MOOD: Rambunctious

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: If you’re submissive by nature, you’ll especially enjoy the vulnerability of being on all fours with your lover standing behind you. The Kama Sutra calls this maneuver “The Congress of a Cow.” A very unromantic name for a position that’s damn hot.

SETTING THE SCENE: Have a chair, bed, or couch to brace yourself on for balance, but keep it simple. Ensure you have space to play.

TECHNIQUES: This challenging but popular maneuver combines a standing position with rear entry while the woman bends at the waist. With him standing behind you, lean forward, feet apart, until your hands are touching the floor; you’ll be supporting yourself on your hands, so mind your balance. If you need more support or just aren’t feeling as limber, a less acrobatic modification is to put your hands on the bed, a chair, or the arm of the couch to support yourself. You can also spread your legs wider apart or bring them together. But be aware that the wider your stance, the lower he will have to squat to get in position.

Once you’re in the position of an animal in heat, your stud starts to mount you like a bull. This can be a bumpy ride, so be careful. When you’re bent over this way, the blood rushes to your brain, which can lead to both incredible orgasms and lightheadedness. It also allows for easier, deeper penetration. Some women report that this is the best position for hitting their G-spot.

Your man will love taking you by the hips and pulling you against him in time with his vigorous thrusts. You’ll feel wanton, lusty sensations against your buttocks and the sensitive areas around your anus and perineum. For an added treat, pull his hand around to your clitoris, and have him stroke you.

NO.31
THE TIES THAT BIND

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Many people spend their lives being in control, so it can be sexy to give up control and let your lover have his or her way with your body. When you’re tied up, unable to move, all responsibility beyond enjoying the sensations is taken away. And for the person doing the tying, having their partner in their power can be very erotic.

SETTING THE SCENE: While bondage can be practiced in any room, go for the comfort of your bedroom while learning the ropes. Have your restraints on hand and set out some feathers, soft brushes, and other tactilely pleasing items for teasing. Any bed frame with space to pass a rope or handcuffs through is ideal.

Avoid restraints that will tighten too much and cut off circulation; for example, metal handcuffs can leave bruises. Fur-lined cuffs, while a bit pricey, are safe, prevent chafing, and can either be fastened to bedposts or used alone in a variety of positions. A cheap alternative is T-shirt material—it ties securely but has plenty of give. Make sure you have a pair of scissors on hand in case you have trouble undoing the knots.

TECHNIQUES: Secure your partner’s wrists and ankles. They should be comfortable yet securely fastened, with as little or much play in the restraints as you both find sexy. A blindfold can add more spice to the seduction. Not being able to see what your partner is about to do next can be an enormous turn-on.

Once you have your partner tied down, tell him or her what you’re going to do. Take the feather or brush; run it lightly up and down his bound body. Avoid direct contact with nipples and genitals at first; if you’re doing it right, she’ll beg you for it.

NO.32
HIS LOVE BUTTON

MOOD: Daring

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: How sad that so many straight men are missing out on an incredibly erotic experience because they’re afraid enjoying anal play somehow makes them homosexual. Silly boys.

SETTING THE SCENE: The keys to enjoying anal play are communication, relaxation, and lots of lubrication. First, tell your partner what you have in mind while giving him a massage. Use a latex glove or finger cot (which looks like a little condom, but for your finger), both for hygiene reasons and to protect delicate tissues from your fingernails. Definitely trim your nails beforehand.

TECHNIQUES: Before you go anywhere near his behind, make sure you let him know what you have in mind. Maybe he’s only ready for you to circle a well-lubed finger around his opening while he lies on his back. Respect his comfort level and don’t be afraid to take your time. When he’s ready, he may be able to bear down on your finger, or let you slowly slip your finger into him. Aim towards his belly button rather than his back and slide it in up to the knuckle. Be patient and wait for his anus and sphincter muscles to accommodate you.

When he’s mastered the basics and is ready for more, you can really blow his mind with a prostate massage. It’s comparable to a G-spot for men.

As always, use lots of lube and start him off by spending some time warming up his member with either your mouth or your hand. When you have him good and ready, slip your finger into his anus about two or three inches and crook it toward his pubic bone. You’re there when you feel a little bulge about the size of a nut. Use a “come here” gesture to stroke it. Do this while you’re sucking or stroking his penis, and you’ll give him one of the most mind-blowing orgasms of his life.

NO.33
MISSIONARY REDEFINED

MOOD: Romantic

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Most of the fancy maneuvers in classic erotic manuals like the Kama Sutra or The Perfumed Garden are just variations on good old standbys like the missionary position.

In bed, as in life, the missionary position is only as boring as the attitude you bring to it.

SETTING THE SCENE: The key word here is comfort. Use your softest sheets, your most luxurious blankets. Light scented candles and turn the lights down low. Throw down extra pillows.

TECHNIQUES: First, some simple but hot enhancements to try: Take your hand and guide him inside you; men love the feel of their lover drawing them in. Match his strokes with the movement of your hips. Grind against him. Rub your clitoris against his pubic bone. Swivel your hips like a belly dancer. Now look deep into his eyes, and treat him to a few quick squeezes with your PC muscle. Clench your muscles in time to his thrusts inside you. Vary the speed and rhythm of your squeezes until both of you are moaning with pleasure.

READY FOR SOME VARIATIONS? WIDELY OPENED POSITION: Think of this as a sexy version of yoga’s Bridge Pose. Bend your knees, arch your back, and push up against him, bringing your hips off the mattress. He may need to rise up on his knees a little and support himself on his arms to give you room to maneuver. Throw your head back and enjoy the delightful friction between your clitoris and his pubic bone.

REFINED POSTURE: He kneels between your legs and pulls you up while cupping your bottom with his hands. If he draws your cheeks away from each other, he’ll provide some extra erotic stimulation. This also frees your hands to stroke his face, chest, and shoulders.

NO.34
CICADA ON A BOUGH

MOOD: Evocative

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: If you live in certain tropical climes, you’ll be well acquainted with the mating song of a male cicada. The rest of us probably know it from the movies, as filmmakers often use this sound effect to evoke a hot summer’s evening. What you may not know is that the cicada modulates his love song by wiggling his body toward and away from the tree branch he’s resting on. In this rear-entry position from ancient Chinese Taoist pillow books, you’ll imitate the cicada’s motion to create your own symphony of new and exciting sensations as you push against the graceful bough of your woman’s back.

SETTING THE SCENE: This is a nice position to move into after you’ve given her a sensual, romantic massage. Since you’ll be controlling most of the motion during sex, make sure you warm her up with lots of tender foreplay.

TECHNIQUES: Have her stretch out fully on your bed, face down. She can rest her head on her forearms or rise up slightly on her elbows, whichever is more comfortable to her. Slide a pillow under her hips to make penetration even easier. Next, part her legs and slide into her gently from behind. While holding her shoulders or upper arms, grip the bed with your toes to give yourself leverage as your thrust inside her. You should occasionally rest with your hands on either side of her so that she doesn’t feel like you’re crushing her with your weight. Don’t just pound away at her: heighten the sensuality of the act by covering her back, shoulders, and neck with kisses, or by drawing your tongue lightly up the top of her spine.

Since it will be hard for either of you to stimulate her clitoris in this position—even if she wedges a hand under her hips, she won’t be able to move it much—use technology to your advantage. Right before penetration, turn on her favorite vibrator and slide it between her and the pillow. Every time you thrust into her, stimulating the front wall of her vagina and even her G-spot, her entire genital area will push against the vibrator, resulting in exciting sensations. Some women will find the feeling of being “pinned” by your member to be intensely erotic as well. Just as the tiny cicada emits a powerful song, so will the smallest movements of love result in loud cries of ecstasy.

KARMA SUTRA SEDUCTION: THE POSITION OF INDRANI

MOOD: Mischievously divine

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In this sexy position, you open yourself wide to your man’s thrusts while he has you almost pinned. It seems submissive, but you’re in total control, rendering this move delightfully naughty.

SETTING THE SCENE: Something this seduction requires is special attention to the setting. Try light sandalwood incense or some other earthy, erotic scent. Strew rose petals on the floor and bed—the fragrance they’ll release when crushed beneath your entwined bodies will add to the sensuality of the position. Have plenty of candles; no artificial lighting for a goddess and her consort.

TECHNIQUES: To bring out your inner goddess, first lie on your back and invite your man to come kneel worshipfully at your feet—or rather, on his knees, tucked in close to your divine posterior. Open your legs wide and as he enters you, bend your knees up toward your ears and rest them on your breasts, as though you were curling up into a tight little ball. If you can, contract your lower abdomen so that it raises your derriere slightly off the mattress, as though you were doing a lower ab crunch. To maintain the position, hold your knees with both hands. For leverage, slip your feet into his armpits while he grasps your ankles. This position will give you deep penetration; you should be able to feel—and squeeze—against every inch of his shaft as he thrusts inside you. It’s truly divine!

Give your butt muscles a squeeze and rock your pelvis against him. It’s just a small, subtle shift of your hips, but the effect is exquisite. You can also tense your vaginal muscles, letting the tension build until you can’t hold it any more.

NO.36
I’VE BEEN VERY, VERY BAD

MOOD: Disciplinary

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Spanking, like bondage, can add that extra spice of the forbidden to your bedroom play. In this seduction, you’ll discipline your partner with something you both should enjoy.

SETTING THE SCENE: First decide who will be receiving and who will be giving the “punishment.” It’s worth talking about this and other details (such as how many spanks will be involved) in advance so expectations are realistic. Choose a “safe” word.

Furniture and props can be as simple as a chair or couch with a padded arm, your hand, and your partner’s willing cheeks to spank. If you want to experiment with different textures, you can buy paddles made out of various materials, even ones lined with fur.

TECHNIQUES: Given this can be played either way, let’s say the woman has been naughty this time, giving you gents the chance to show her who’s boss…for the moment. Take her by the wrist (as gently or roughly as she finds sexy) and pull her over to you. Tell her she’s been very bad and you’re going to have to punish her. Push her down over your lap, ignoring any struggles or pleas for mercy she may try (unless she uses her safe word, which you must obey). If she’s wearing a skirt, flip it up. You can either leave her panties in place or pull them down to leave her totally exposed.

Using the palm of your hand, spank the fleshy part of her buttocks (ladies, avoid your man’s testicles if you’re administering the spanking). You might also caress her cheeks with a feather in between spanks; her skin will be ultrasensitive with all the blood rising to the surface. To take the game further, toy with her clitoris a bit or put a finger inside her. Let her know what you have in store for her when the punishment is over!

NO.37
USE HIM

MOOD: Imperious

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Wouldn’t you love to have a man who performed with the same reliability and ability to hit your hot spots as your favorite vibrator? One who would let you direct his fingers and tongue to the right places without a murmur of protest? This is your chance!

SETTING THE SCENE: Make sure from the get-go your man understands he is not allowed to take any action unless you’ve directed him to do it. Vibrators don’t talk back and they don’t vibrate unless you hit the “on” button. Set up the shower so you have your favorite loofah or soft sponge on hand, as well as your largest, softest towels. In the bedroom, have on hand a good water-based edible massage oil, lube, a dildo, feathers, fur, anything you might want your toy to pleasure you with.

TECHNIQUES: Start by taking a shower or bath. Tell your toy where you’d like to be scrubbed and with what—where you like it hard and where you prefer a gentler touch. Have him wash your hair; few things are as relaxing and pleasurable as a good scalp massage. Have him dry you off with a towel, taking special care between your legs and buttocks. Lead him into the bedroom; lie facedown on the bed and have him rub you down with massage oil, allowing you to further relax and enjoy yourself. Flip over so he can massage your front as well.

At this point, you might want him to play with your nipples with his fingers and tongue. Or you may be ready for him in between your legs for some oral pleasuring. You can tell him what “speed” you have him set on to give him an idea of how fast or slowly you’d like his tongue to massage your labia and clit. You might want him to penetrate you with a dildo while he goes down on you. If you enjoy backdoor penetration as well, have him grab another dildo and use both hands. It’s up to you.

NO.38
TROPICAL PARADISE

MOOD: Torrid

SEASON: TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Have you always dreamed of making love on the beach? This seduction helps you make the most of the experience.

SETTING THE SCENE: Obviously, if you live inland and want the full-on experience of sand, surf, and piña coladas, this will be a pricier endeavor than if you already live on or near the coast. If you’re shy about baring it all outside but crave the sound of the waves and smell of the sea, a tent would be a good compromise. You can also wait untill the sun goes down, which reduces the possibility of sun worshippers interrupting your tryst.

As a last resort, turn your living room into a tropical paradise. Mix up some daiquiris, put on some reggae or a track of the ocean, and spread out a few beach blankets.

TECHNIQUES: Pick a private spot for your seaside tryst. It doesn’t have to be a private beach per se, but unless you’ve perfected the art of making love without moving under a beach towel, being caught having sex on a public beach could ruin your day, not to mention your reputations and legal record. If you enjoy the thrill that comes with the possibility of being caught, this isn’t the time for a long-drawn out session. And you might want to wait until the sun has started going down before you…get down, so to speak.

NOTE: Having sex in the sea isn’t such a good idea. It can introduce bacteria into the vagina, which puts you at risk for urinary tract and other infections. Plus, if you’re using a condom with spermicidal gel, the seawater can wash the spermicide out. Feel free to get each other hot and bothered during your afternoon dip, but save the actual nooky for dry land.

NO.39
KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL

MOOD: Culinary

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Day

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: It might surprise you to hear that after the bedroom, the kitchen is the most popular place in the house for sexual hijinks. Or maybe it’s not as odd as it sounds; experts say a change in location can spice up your love life, and what better spot is there for getting something cooking?

SETTING THE SCENE: Though it may not strike you as an ancient secret of foreplay, simply cleaning the kitchen without being asked will do wonders for your sex life. One of the most common complaints therapists hear from women is that they bear the brunt of household chores, even if they work outside the home. A man who carries his weight around the house—and in the kitchen—isn’t just making his woman happier and less stressed, he’s giving her more energy for their sex life. Not incidentally, he’s also making the kitchen a more inviting place for fun sexual escapades.

TECHNIQUES: Cooking together can be a wonderful way to bond as a couple. In fact, it can lead to frisky business right there and then. Suggest to her that you try cooking your favorite recipe together.

While you’re feeling the heat, come up behind your fellow chef and softly chew on the nape of her neck. Pull down her pants, and reach under to fondle her clitoris. When she’s dripping wet, bend her over the counter and ravish her. If you have the free counter space, lift her up onto it so she can wrap her legs around you while you thrust into her. From here, you’ll have easy access to her clit. Use your thumb to drive her over the edge.

Afterwards, open up the fridge and enjoy the contrast of cool air on your hot, sweaty skin. Bon appétit!

NO.40
G MARKS THE SPOT

MOOD: Exploratory

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction will teach you how to delight your gal’s G-spot.

SETTING THE SCENE: Foreplay is critical to successful G-spot pleasure. Kiss her, caress her, tease her clitoris with your tongue or fingers. Her G-spot will be easier to find if she’s aroused! Also, before you get started, make sure your fingernails are cut short—a scratch to this area will ruin all your hard work.

TECHNIQUES: Slip a lubricated index or middle finger inside her vagina. Crook your finger along the front wall of her vagina—imagine you’re making a “come hither” motion. You should find a ridged spongy area, right behind the pubic bone, that feels different from the smooth vaginal walls. Press firmly. You’ll feel the G-spot through the vaginal wall.

Now you’re free to find out what pressure your sweetie likes. Try massaging it, moving your finger side to side, or stroking it in a circle. Some women like their G-spot tapped; again, remember that “come-hither” motion. You might also massage her mons pubis (the area above her pubic bone) with your other hand. Be sure to check in with her about how it feels.

Another technique is to stimulate the area with a special G-spot dildo or vibrator. These toys are curved so that they reach her vagina’s front wall. Look for products like the Crystal Jelly Deluxe vibrator, an affordable, waterproof little delight that also features a row of nubs that vibrate on her clitoris during G-spot play.

NO.41
PASSAGE TO INDIA

MOOD: Ebullient

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This Indian-inspired seduction combines the spirit of the Kama Sutra with the romantic fun of a Bollywood movie.

SETTING THE SCENE: For inspiration, rent or buy a DVD or find Bollywood videos on YouTube that will teach you seductive Indian dance moves. Find and download some Bollywood or Indian songs.

It’s important that you dress the part. If you can, buy yourself a brilliantly colored sari to wrap around your waist and drape over your shoulder. Under it, wear a choli, a midriff-baring top, and a short or ruffled skirt. Adorn yourself with some lovely beaded jewelry.

As far as décor, you can create an Indian vibe inexpensively. Drape your bed with embriodered sheets, or perhaps a luxurious silk duvet. Make sure you have lots pillows both on the bed and around the room. Scent your bedroom with incense, scented candles, or a room diffuser.

TECHNIQUES: Invite your lover to take a warm bath or shower; afterwards, massage fragrant lotion onto each other’s skin. Lead him into your bedroom and have him make himself comfortable, perhaps in a pair of silk pajamas that you provide. Then ask him to sit back and enjoy the show.

As you begin to dance, don’t worry about the perfection of your moves. Twirl around him. Tease him. Shake your booty at him. Keep moving closer to him until he can’t help but pull you toward him. He’ll have fun unwinding you out of your sari. Leave some jewelry on for an erotic touch.

As you undress each other, remember that the ancient manual talks about the power of a woman’s hair. Push him back onto the bed and brush your locks along his body. Then engage your lips to tantalize every inch of his body.

NO.42
TOY CHEST

MOOD: Playfully daring

SEASON: TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction, you and your lover will have a friendly competition to see who can surprise the other with the most exotic or unusual sex toy.

SETTING THE SCENE: First, set a budget. Then, decide on a schedule. Perhaps you’ll only exchange one present each. If you choose to exchange more, why not plan a week of gift-giving? The trick here is to get each other the most exotic, outlandish sex toys you can find and afford. Here are a few ideas:

VIBRATORS: Browse through high-end websites like Coco de Mer, Jimmyjane, Kiki de Montparnasse, or Good Vibrations and you’ll find that vibrators have come a long way. Even famous industrial designers are having a crack at the luxe adult toy market: at Myla. com, Scott Henderson’s “C-Shell” looks like a pretty loop; while Tom Dixon’s “Bone” was inspired by ancient fertility symbols. Or go for laughs and buy her the most outlandish penis-resembling vibrator you can find: the Japanese Rabbit Pearl is a classic!

BONDAGE AND FETISH: Silk blindfolds. Furry cuffs. Bamboo riding crops. You’re only limited by your imagination and budget. Feeling more daring? The Bed Web is a restraint system that tucks between your mattress and box spring. Once you’ve got your partner tied down, you’ll want to find a pretty paddle with which to administer his “punishment.”

SEX FURNITURE: Try Liberator Shape “bedroom adventure gear” like The Wedge or The Ramp. Similar is the Bonk’er, a “positioning system” with two arms that attach to wide rectangular bases that fit under your mattress.

NO.43
DILETTO’S DELIGHT

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: In Renaissance Italy, dildos were called dilettos, from the phrase “to delight.” And “delight” is exactly what this seduction will do.

SETTING THE SCENE: The first step is to buy your dildo, but since these toys come in such a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, you’ll need to involve your gal. Tell her that you need help in ordering a very special present for her. Then snuggle up on the couch and do some online shopping. Would she like a realistic feeling? Look for dildos made of silicone, Cyberskin, or, more affordably, jelly rubber. Or would she prefer a more rigid sensation? If so, opt for acrylic or glass.

TECHNIQUES: Once you have your dildo in hand, instruct your gal to get comfortable on the bed. No matter how aroused she is when you start, always apply lubricant to the dildo.

Begin by caressing her labia with the lubed head of your toy. Tease, then massage her clitoris with it until her love juices are flowing. Be sure to ask her what feels good. When she’s fully aroused, grasp the dildo firmly and gently penetrate her opening with the head. Start by just dipping the “glans” inside, moving slowly until you both become used to the dildo’s weight and hardness. Let her move to receive it until you know how much she can take. With rigid (wood, glass, or acrylic dildos), the deeper it goes, the less she needs to move; the dildo’s weight and ridges (if it has them) will create the sensations. Tease her with short, slow strokes at first, building up to longer, deeper strokes. Use your free hand to stroke her clitoris, and watch her face to see her ecstasy mount. When you think she can’t stand it anymore, slip the toy out and replace it with your penis.

NO.44
ENDLESS LOVEMAKING

MOOD: Languorous

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: Find ways to make your ecstasy last, and last. The key: stimulate and tease each other for as long as possible before pushing your lover over the brink. This seduction is all about delayed gratification, in a big way. Connoisseurs of the lovemaking arts know that the longer you stay on that arousal plateau, the more mind-blowing the eventual orgasm.

SETTING THE SCENE: First off, agree as a couple that you’re going to try to postpone orgasm as long as possible. If you’re engaging in anything but intercourse, the person doing the pleasuring has the upper hand—so to speak. One night, he can take charge; another night, it’s her turn. This seduction also works best if you communicate with each other about what you’re trying to do. Otherwise you risk causing frustration, not excitement!

TECHNIQUES: If you’re going down on your honey or using your hands, you can easily control the pace. Watch carefully for the signs that your sweetie is getting close to orgasm: faster breathing, flushed chest, muscles tensing up. Before you reach the point of no return, stop. If you’re making love, you’ll have to be even more in tune to each other’s bodies. He might have to slow down his thrusts, for example, or even slip out of you.

Wait at least ten seconds, and then start up again. Work up to the edge again—and then start, and restart, a second time. Don’t start or stop more than three times, or he might not be able to climax at all.

When you finally want to bring your lover to orgasm, intensify your actions. Stroke or suck faster. Thrust harder. Ladies, use those PC muscles to squeeze his excited member. And enjoy while he or she enjoys the most mind-blowing orgasm!

NO.45
THE EDGE OF THE BED

MOOD: Passionate

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction features two postures from ancient love manuals. The first is a delightfully naughty pose called the “Ninth Posture” from The Perfumed Garden, a sixteenth-century Arabian love text by Sheik Nefzawi. The second is the lyrically named “Seagulls on the Wing,” from the classic Chinese pillow book the T’ung Hsüan Tzu by Li T’ung Hsüan.

SETTING THE SCENE: Ever fantasized about going at it over the dining room table, your desk, or any other horizontal surface that’s not necessarily a bed? The “Ninth Posture” is a rear-entry position that will fulfill those fantasies. Its great advantage is that you can do it in any room of the house. “Seagulls on a Wing” also lends itself to spur-of-the-moment passion. But because you’re facing him and can make eye contact, it tends to be a more tender alternative.

TECHNIQUES: How to get yourself into the “Ninth Posture”? Simple—but ladies, you have to take the initiative. The first step is to get him all hot and bothered through a really steamy make-out session. Kneel on the floor while leaning your upper body forward onto the edge of your bed or couch, presenting your luscious backside to him. You can also lean over a dining table, desk, or any other nearby horizontal surface. Pull your skirt up and beg him to enter you as quickly as possible. Don’t think that this position is all about him, though. It puts him at the perfect angle to hit your G-spot.

“Seagulls on the Wing” offers you a little more romance. Keeping eye contact with him, lean back on your bed or couch with your hips at the edge of the bed, and your feet flat on the floor or a chair (if you’re on a dining room table) as he kneels or stands in front of you. He’ll have the perfect view of your ecstasy, as well as his love wand sliding in and out of you.

NO.46
MOVIE NIGHT

MOOD: Adventurous

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR /: Enact together for your mutual pleasure

THE SEDUCTION: In this seduction you’ll discover what films turn you and your partner on by having an erotic night at the movies.

SETTING THE SCENE: “Erotic” doesn’t necessarily mean X-rated. Some of the sexiest movies are R or NC17 and don’t show actual penetration. It’s the chemistry between the people onscreen that counts—if it’s heating up between actors, odds are the fire will spread to the audience as well. Here’s a “starter” list of movies known for some smoking onscreen sex: Y Tu Mama Tambien, 9 1/2 Weeks, Wild Things, Henry & June, Mulholland Drive, Eyes Wide Shut, Secret Things, Secretary, Bound, and Lust, Caution. If you and your partner want to venture into X-ratings, Good Vibrations’ website (www.goodvibrations.com) is a great source for erotic movies, as well. It has not only a decent rental section, but also offers digital downloads and pay-per-minute options.

TECHNIQUES: Lucky you; in your own home theater you can get away with things you never could in at your local cineplex.

Let yourself get inspired. Let the movie be your guide. As things start to warm up onscreen, reach over and caress your partner. Mutual fondling while watching titillating scenes can be a total turn-on. Ladies, don’t be shy about giving your man a spur of the moment blowjob. And when something really starts to heat you up, pull out the vibrator and pleasure yourself. Your man won’t know whether to watch the hot action on the TV or next to him. And gentlemen, if you notice your woman getting all hot and bothered, take the initiative. If she’s using her vibrator, double-team her with your tongue on her nipples. Don’t be in a hurry to reach the climax…just sit back, take your time…and enjoy the show.

NO.47
SHUTTERBUG

MOOD: Voyeuristic

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: We’ve all heard that men are visual creatures. That may be true, but don’t discount the possibility that you might also get aroused from looking at—or making—naughty pictures. This seduction gives you tips about the best books of artistic photography to rev your engines. For those who want to take it a step further, this seduction offers tips for unleashing your exhibitionist streak.

SETTING THE SCENE: Here are some suggestions for books that you won’t be embarrassed to have on your coffee table. Erotique: Masterpieces of Erotic Photography by Rod Ashford and others is a classic. More recently, Erotique Digital: The Art of Erotic Digital Photography by Minnie Cook and Roderick MacDonald mixes innovative imagery with tips on technique.

TECHNIQUES: Once you’ve assembled your erotic library, leave your favorite volume out on your coffee table. Tell him you’re curious about which pictures he likes best. Leaf through the pages together, while you caress and stroke him. Let him know how hot these pictures make you. He’ll be impressed and excited.

Want to get in front of the camera? Take erotic photos of each other or, using your camera’s self-timer, of both of you together.

Don’t use the flash, and don’t worry if the shots look dark; you can fix them later with image-editing software. Try black and white for a classic look. Effects like “soften” or “blur” will give a soft, romantic feel to your pictures. Print them, but keep them in a safe place, and enjoy!

NO.48
ONLINE ORGASM

MOOD: Digital

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Instant messaging (IM) can be a great technique for couples to keep their sexual charge alive when they can’t be in the same room. Sure, it’s fun to hear your lover’s voice saying dirty things to you. But it might arouse something different to see her naughtiest thoughts scroll across the screen. This seduction gives you tips for how to have an online experience that’s safe, fun, and arousing.

SETTING THE SCENE: Say your sweetie’s traveling out of town on business—or simply working late at the office. Set up a date to “talk” online. Install and open any of the many popular IM programs that work best for you. Then, get comfortable.

TECHNIQUES: Once you’re both online, warm up by flirting. Ask her what she’s wearing. Tell her how much you miss her. Talk about how horny you’ve been feeling.

Next, heat things up. Get more explicit. Let her know how you’re feeling your hardness through your pants, or even stroking yourself. Tell her all the things you might be too shy to say if you were actually talking on the phone: where you’d like to touch her, how you’d like to use your mouth. Yes, eventually you’ll both have to switch to one-handed typing. You might agree to take turns “typing” the other to orgasm.

Feeling really daring? Try a webcam and give each other a private peep show.

You never know what fantasies might be stirred up when you’re simply typing your sexiest thoughts, your sexy stream of consciousness, into an IM window. But the chances are good that your mutual online action will make you hot to see your lover again, in the flesh.

NO.49
FIRE AND ICE

MOOD: Sensual

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY: Any

SUGGESTED FOR : He takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: This seduction lets you play with two very opposite sensations—cold and heat—safely and effectively.

SETTING THE SCENE: Setting up is easy. Simply have a glass of ice water on your nightstand or on the coffee table in your living room. You don’t even have to tell her what it’s for. Place some candles strategically around the room. Important: be sure to use plain paraffin candles, not scented or beeswax candles. Beeswax candles in particular burn at a higher temperature, and using them could result in serious burns. Be extremely careful about having lit candles anywhere near bed linens. Spread out a blanket or sheet on your rug or floor—preferably one that can be tossed if it gets too hopelessly covered in wax.

TECHNIQUES: To warm up, spend some time kissing and fondling each other. When you’ve got her aroused, reach over to your nightstand and grab an ice cube. Trail it all over her body. Pay special attention to her nipples. Tease her by circling her labia with it, sliding it between her lips. (Don’t leave the ice in any one place for too long. You want to tease, not numb.) To heighten the sensations further, follow the ice cube with your tongue. The feeling of cold, then warm, will drive her wild.

Have her roll over and do the same to her backside, starting with the nape of her neck, gliding the cube down her spine and slipping the cube between her butt cheeks. (Don’t slip it inside, however, in consideration of delicate tissues there.)

Now take your sensation play a step further by incorporating the wax. Because wax cools as it falls, start by holding the candle at least a few feet above her body. Then drip it on her, one drip at a time. The anticipation she’ll feel will be very intense and very erotic.

NO.50
RING AROUND THE ROSY

MOOD: Experimentally naughty

SEASON: Any TIME OF DAY:

SUGGESTED FOR : She takes charge

THE SEDUCTION: Sex toys aren’t just for women. Penis rings (or cock rings) fit around the base of his penis and scrotum and keep blood from flowing out of his penis back into his body. For many men (but not all), restricting blood means firmer erections, heightened sensitivity, and delayed ejaculation.

SETTING THE SCENE: Available in a variety of materials and styles, today’s cock rings are a shopper’s delight. You’ll find basic single-strap styles, some that separate his testicles, and some that vibrate against your clitoris. The most inexpensive rings are made from rubber, nitrile, elastomer, and neoprene; these offer a lot of stretch, and some are adorned with little nubs. However, they’re porous and can’t be disinfected, so they’re not for sharing. Leather rings fasten with either snaps or Velcro. They’re easy to adjust and remove, making them a good choice for novices.

TECHNIQUES: Obviously, part of the fun will be helping your man don his new penis ring. Use some lubricant and your hands to bring him to partial attention—and to make the ring slide on more easily. Start when he’s semi-erect unless you’ve got a leather ring, which can be put on at any time during an erection. Tuck one testicle through the ring at a time, and then his penis.

A FEW SAFETY TIPS: If you’re a cock ring neophyte, use one you can adjust or remove easily. Make sure the ring isn’t attached too tightly. Don’t leave a ring on for more than 20 minutes; in fact, if you’re just starting out, start by wearing it for 5 minutes, and then increasing the time. If his member gets cold or numb, take it off immediately. Apply ice to take down his erection quickly. And don’t let him fall asleep wearing it.
