Get turned on instantly.

For a lot of us, a brilliant mind is infinitely sexier than a perfectly toned physique, and any person who can turn a seductive phrase acts as an ultimate aphrodisiac. Because what's better than someone who just has a way with words without even really trying?
Perhaps this is a hold-over from the days before photography, when lovers had to rely on words to initially stimulate each other — particularly via postal correspondence — or maybe it's just because, in a world of nonstop, in-your-face sexuality coming at us from all angles, being teased with nuance and imagination is such a rare skill that we don't see very often.
And it doesn't help that movies seem to give us an unrealistic idea about romance in the modern world, where men still send love letters and flowers, and women are more than willing to let men chase them. Yes, in a world of text message breakups and emoji proposals, a thoughtful consideration of the merits of boning is quite the novelty.
Even if you’re not one for sensual soliloquies or erudite erotica, you have to admit there’s something impressive about a lover who can, ahem... “flood your basement” with a perfectly-crafted suggestion. Anyone who can command a physical response to a verbal remark subtly promises more of the same behind a closed boudoir curtain.
Or, in simpler terms: If he can get your juices flowing with a few simple words, imagine what else that tongue can do. (You might let your imagination run wild with that imagery, and we totally encourage it.)
Here's a list of sexy love quotes for those of us who crave the lusty language that comes from a collection of cunning linguists. Be warned: these love quotes might get you a little hot and bothered. And that's perfectly fine.
