Use your senses to seduce

I think this is for ladies, hehehe. I just read this article from GOODHOUSEKEEPING magazine July 2009 issue. And learned that even our senses can seduce....

SIGHT Wear red. Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York had 149 men rate pictures by level of attractiveness of women wearing or framed by white, grey, blue, green, and red. Red won out, possibly because of reinforced cultural norm. “Due to the association with hearts, Valentine’s Day, lingerie, and things like that, red takes on a sexy meaning,” says study author Andrew Elliot, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester.

SMELL Skip perfume. Your natural body odor is a bigger turn-on than you think. “We each have a distinct odor that is our very own scent signature,” says Sharon Moalem, Ph. D., author of How Sex Works. “That scent has the power to trigger significant arousal and plays an often underappreciated role in the chemistry of attraction.” So forget lathering up with lotions after a shower – your scent is the best aphrodisiac.

TASTE Open up that box of chocolates. Feeding truffles to your guy can be sensual on its own, but the taste of chocolate is associated with the release of serotonin in the brain, a hormone that induces feelings of relaxation and pleasure – similar to what we experience when we fall in love. Sweet!

SOUND Make some noise! “One of the biggest complaints men have about women is that they are too quiet when it comes to intimacy,” Moalem says. You don’t have to praise the heavens at the top of your lungs if that makes you uncomfortable, but a simple sigh and “Right there!” goes a long way.

TOUCH Snuggle. Think men don’t like cuddling? Think again. “When men or women get a soothing touch from their partner, the brain releases oxytocin, or the love hormone,” says Moalem. “It reaffirms the bond between the two of you, making sex even better.”

Ok, girls, do it to your partner. lolz!
