5 Things You Never Knew About Sexual Arousal

You know the obvious already—some nooky and a sensual massage, for example—but did you know that certain smells and colors will get his game on, too? Learn some tricks that will turn him on subtly…

1.    The smells of lavender and pumpkin will make him want you and he won’t even realize why he’s suddenly so turned on. Light two scented candles or spray your neck with the two body sprays. Or, go all out and pick some lavender for the kitchen table and bake a pumpkin pie! (P.S. Girls get more easily sexually aroused and experienced heightened sexual pleasure if they’re around smells of cucumber and licorice.)
2.    Wear red. It’s not clear whether red became the color of hearts and Valentine’s Day first and then became associated with sex and passion or if the color was first noticed as a sexy color and then became commercialized as such. Either way, it works. Wear red and you’ll score tonight.
3.    Stay symmetrical. This is easier said than done because facial and body symmetry is usually determined at birth. If you have one eye bigger or smaller than the other, try and use makeup to even them out. Men subconsciously are attracted to symmetrical women since it’s thought that their DNA is more perfect and better for mating.
4.    Stress makes guys fall harder. Not that you should put your guy in a stressful situation, but stress and anxiety (helpful anti anxiety medications) do make a guy feel needy and vulnerable and he’ll likely turn to his woman to work out those kinks.
5.    Women are attracted to men who have smaller guts, and not just for appearance’s sake, but because of biology. Subconsciously, all women look for a mate who will help provide her with healthy offspring. The bigger his gut, the higher his chances of illness are. He also runs a higher risk of having fertility problems.
