Surprises Your Spouse Will Love

You plan a lot of things every day, so why not plan one sexual surprise a week? Your spouse is worth it, and it will take your lovemaking to new heights. Here are a few ideas you might want to try:

• If you’re a woman, remember this secret: we men would rather our wives come to bed with clothes on. Why? Because we like to take them off! When you wear some surprising lingerie, that tells us you’ve thought in advance about surprising us, shopped carefully for the item, and planned a wonderful time to model that new purchase for us. Setting aside a little money once in a while to buy lingerie will keep that man guessing, stimulated, and eagerly in your court.
• Eat foods that will help get you both in the mood: strawberries, chocolate, seafood (especially oysters). Even better if you use your naked stomachs as plates.
• Place a candle or two or three in the room. How many you use and what color they are can create a completely different ambiance. White suggests slow, leisurely love. Red suggests, “Come and get me—fast.” Yellow might be for a playful mood.
• Buy some special sheets for your wife, since the touch of her naked skin on them is especially sensuous to her. Don’t just give them to her; put them on the bed yourself so she’s surprised when she slides in. Choose cotton for long, lingering sex that could go all day or all night. Silk might get things going right away. And if you want frisky, try a plastic sheet and a bottle of baby oil.
• Men are turned on by sight, so let your husband undress you right in front of a mirror to take in all the beautiful aspects of you. Even better, put a soft blanket right by a mirror and make love in front of it. Your enjoyment will be higher because you’ll see how enraptured he is by you. And that man of yours? His excitement will be to the moon because he gets a 360-degree view of his woman.
• Stir up a hot chocolate bath, using three tablespoons of cocoa, one tablespoon of powdered milk, and, of course, hot water. Add a little whipped cream if you’d like. I guarantee you won’t mind rinsing out that tub later.
• Consider a twist on giving your wife flowers. Place a single rose by the bed, but then use the others to create a scattering of rose petals under the sheets. The aroma will please her nose, and I’m sure you can think of lots of ways to caress her body with those soft, silky petals.
• Try a new scent. Tell your husband, “I hid a surprise scent for you somewhere on my body. It’s your job to find it.”
• Never throw out an old pair of underwear. Put those underwear on, sashay up to your spouse with a pair of scissors, and dangle them in front of him or her. Say, “If you can get these off me, I’m all yours.”
• Explore your kitchen for tantalizing possibilities. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, maraschino cherries, maple syrup, and frosting make wonderful hors d’oeuvres in foreplay when added to just the right body parts. Licking them off with your tongue is a lot more fun than eating a sundae with a spoon.
