Last week, I brought you what women want. But we aren’t the only ones who appreciate a little extra effort outside the bedroom when it comes to lovin’. Judging from an informal survey asking the question, "What's the sexiest or most romantic thing a woman has ever done for you?" guys also like the occasional sexy gesture... like a can of Nestlé Quik, for example. “The most romantic thing my last girlfriend did for me was to buy me Nestlé Quik. It was romantic because it was specific to me. I like Quik. The gesture showed that I wasn't just another breathing, walking, talking, warm-in-bed dildo. If there had been more such gestures, I might have stayed with her.” The occasional can of Spaghetti-Os, perhaps?
“I met this woman in a bar in Toronto. We talked about all kinds of things, including my affinity for Count Chocula cereal. I forgot all about it until a few weeks later when I received a package in the mail marked 'Fragile.' It was a package of Count Chocula — no note or anything, just the cereal. It took me awhile to figure it out, but I was totally charmed when I did.” The chocolate memories of childhood seem a popular aphrodisiac. Ah, some boys just never grow up.
“I drove with my girlfriend to Cape Cod. En route we bought a fresh loaf of bread and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Halfway there, we stopped at a beach and spent a couple hours laughing our asses off, taking bites off the loaf of bread and drinking Jack Daniels out of the bottle; then we made love in the dunes.”
No one in real life actually gets to make love in dunes, do they? Any beach sex I've ever had just resulted in a lot of sand up my butt. Helluva romantic story, though.
“The sexiest thing my girlfriend does for me is that, for four years now, she has worn a garter belt and stockings instead of pantyhose. It’s especially sexy when she is not wearing any panties with them.” Wouldn't they start to smell a little after four years?
“During fellatio once, a girl told me, ‘You taste really good.’ It really turned me on.” It’s hot to know you're someone's favourite flavour.
“My girlfriend tipped the staff in Stowe, Vermont enough to set up a candlelit table in a ski gondola with chocolate fondue and champagne. We rode up and down for the last few lifts of the day watching the most beautiful snowy sunset imaginable.” I want to date this girl!
“I love her to measure my penis (length and diameter) in the more-or-less flaccid state and then again in erect mode.” I'm happy this guy has found someone who, um, measures up.
“She loves my body and tells me all the time. It means a lot to me because I'm a bit overweight and have a gut, but she makes me feel like she genuinely is turned on by me. That turns me on.” Seems women aren’t the only ones hauling body image baggage into bed.
“My girlfriend and I live together, but we’re both actors and often get so busy we rarely see each other at home so once, she called me up at work and invited me for dinner at her house, pretending we didn't live together. Throughout dinner, she acted like we were new lovers just getting to know each other, asking me lots of questions about myself and stuff. It was hilarious but also very effective in making us feel close. It was like rediscovering each other.” Oh, those wacky theatre types.
“Before I met my girlfriend I found a lot of women didn't spend a lot of time exploring my body. They would go right for the genitals before I was really turned on. My girlfriend spends a long time just touching and caressing my whole body, massaging, teasing, brushing across my pubic hair but never actually stimulating my penis. It drives me crazy.” And we aren’t the only ones who like a lot of foreplay either.
“I was bummed because my girlfriend was about to go away for a few months. The night before leaving, she took me into the living room, tied me to a chair with scarves, blindfolded me and spent the next hour ‘attending’ to me. She obviously wanted to do something that would make me remember her while she was gone. I did. We're still together.” Bon voyage!
