"A really thick, juicy steak brings out my primal side."
By Aly Walansky — Written on Dec 01, 2017
We know how to turn our men on. Honestly, they are pretty simple creatures and it's not even that difficult a lot of the time. Sometimes, it's actually a bit too easy. It seems that when it comes to sex, what makes guys aroused can be... anything.
Of course, that's an over generalization, but it's true that some things really push a man's buttons. Maybe we'll wear their favorite dress, let our hand linger on their thigh under a table, or send suggestive photos or notes during a day. That stuff is all obvious.
But there's also some really random stuff that turns a guy on. Like, say, naps. And that's just the beginning! We asked men to tell us what makes guys aroused, and you won't believe how... simple some of these things are.
1. Booze
"Getting drunk and, of course, them having nice cleavage."
2. Meat
"A really thick, juicy steak brings out my primal side."
3. Chores
"I love to watch her standing over a sink, washing dishes. It makes me want to bend her over that sink."
4. Accents
"I got turned on when she spoke Russian in a sultry voice: 'Turn left at the next corner and drive straight'. True story."
5. Good teeth
"I love when she brushes her teeth with just a bra and panties on. I love tan lines. Oh, and she has to be careful not to bend over in front of me."
6. Granny panties
"I really like it when she wears white cotton granny panties."
7. Simple gestures
"A woman licking her lips, a seductive glance, a woman gently caresses her breast or bringing a hand slowly up her thigh, two women kissing, and a woman in a sexy outfit that accentuates her womanly curves all turn me on."
8. No reason at all
"While there is always some reason for it, and I don't believe I have any idiosyncrasies that turn me on in strange ways, there have been times when I was suddenly struck with sexual arousal. I've chalked them up to certain foods or spices that truly do work as aphrodisiacs, or long car rides (when I was younger; probably due to prostate stimulation). While there clearly is a reason for my arousal in these cases, two that work for me are erect nipples poking through a bra or top, and conversing with smart women (with confidence is even better, and those with a slightly sexy banter are the best!). I'm definitely a sapiophile!"
9. Honesty
"Unexpected turn-on? Soul-searing honesty. Painful frankness about fears, shortcomings, injuries, and the trust engendered by those disclosures are such an incredible mark of confidence and particular usefulness. I appreciate that I'm describing the dictionary definition of emotional intimacy but nonetheless, you expect sexiness to be much more overtly sexy."
10. Sleep
"What makes me aroused for no reason? Lots of things. Naps. Bedtime. Workouts. Testosterone-boosting herbs. Testosterone-boosting minerals like iodine and boron. A slight breeze. The barometer changing. Boredom. Excitement. Movies."
