How To Seduce Yourself

Step 1: Appetizers

Chocolate, fruit or your favorite dessert are all examples of food that get you in the mood. Chili peppers and other spicy foods get the heart pumping and induce sweating while black olives, ginger and tomatoes all are good sexual stimuli. If these foods don't strike your fancy, go for something visually erotic like oysters, bananas or zucchini.

Step 2: Erotic Aromas

Some scents can increase arousal and at times, even performance. Research shows women are aroused by the combined scent of Good n Plenty and cucumbers. A whiff of lavender or pumpkin pie also increases blood flow down below. Keep your nose away from cherries or BBQ, which actually inhibit arousal in women.

Step 3: Set The Mood

Everything looks better by candle light. Cuddle up on the couch with your favorite blanket; the one that feels great against your skin.

Step 4: R-Rated

Fantasizing about past or future encounters can be hot. If your imagination isn't working, watch a steamy movie. You don't need to go x-rated. These films will give you a little inspiration ... without the embarrassment a "Forrest Humps" DVD will cause if your roommate finds it. Check out Unfaithful, Wild Things, Bound, In The Cut, Closer, and Body Heat. Have the remote in hand so you can rewind the good parts.

Step 5: Explore

Discover what makes you feel good. Pay close attention to where, what, how much, how fast and everything else that can vary. If you prefer to have a little help, reach for your favorite vibrator. Now days, you can order them online to avoid any awkward scenes at the vibrator wall. Become a pro at making yourself tremble and you'll hardly ever miss the real deal.
