Regardless of how long you’ve been with your man, it’s always a good idea to keep things passionate and steamy. High levels of intimacy and sex can work wonders for your relationship. Not only does it mean you get to spend more time together, sex and being affectionate both release happy hormones (oxytocin and dopamine)  which, let’s face, no one can have enough of.

Learning how to turn him on is crucial if you want to have a fun sexual relationship with him. I’m sure you don’t need a ton of help, but in the event that you need a little inspiration, I’ve put together a good list of ways to turn him on. Try these ways to turn him on – some don’t even require physical contact.

How to turn him on (with physical contact)

Masturbate in his presence

There are few more powerful ways to turn a guy on than to let him see you masturbate. You might start touching yourself as you lie in bed next to him, or you might let him “catch” you masturbating. He’ll likely be turned on by the sight, but you can ask him to give you a helping hand.

Give him a hot kiss

Kisses can be innocent and friendly, or they can be deep and lingering and hint to the fact that you want more. Planting one of the latter on your lover’s lips can be a turn on for him as well as a way to show that you want something more. Don’t forget that you can kiss other parts of his body, too. Try moving from the lips to his cheeks to his…ears.

Give him a good old fashioned tease

Slowly and agonizingly kiss your way down his chest like you’re about to give him some oral attention – but stop just short of giving him what he wants, and SLOOOWLY make your way back up his chest. Keep doing that until he begs you to give him what he wants.

Have a Short-and-Sweet Makeout Session

Want to leave him wanting more? Make out for just a few minutes, getting him hot and heavy…then leave. Maybe it’s at the end of a date and you’re kissing goodbye in the car before you go in your house. Kiss him passionately (get creative with your hands) then pull away, wink, and get out of the car.

Take a Shower Together

Who says a shower is just for getting clean? It’s also for getting dirty if you know what I mean (wink wink!).

How to turn him on (without physical contact)

Make eye contact

Eye contact is one of the most important signals in letting someone know your intentions. As the old saying goes, “the eyes are the gateway to the soul”. You can turn your man on just by giving him a lingering look across the table, or by making bedroom eyes at him when you’re in a room full of people.

Wear something slightly revealing but leave some things for his imagination

If wearing revealing clothing isn’t really your style, fear not. You can still easily turn him on just by making small changes to your style. You want to show him a glimpse of the goodies but you don’t want to give it all away upfront. Men enjoy using their imagination, it’s all part of the hunting process. By revealing too much, you take away that element of surprise. Find ways to show off your sexiness without actually revealing it. This can be by wearing clothes that fit you perfectly, tops with a V cut to show a bit of cleavage and shorts/skirts/trousers which accentuate your hips and bum.

Flirt with him and treat him like an hero

If you want to turn your man on without even touching him, transport yourself back to when you first met, when any little thing could be turned into a flirtatious joke or comment. He’ll soon get the message. Moreover, if you start treating your man like an hero will turn him on and i twill make you irresistible to him!

Talk Dirty

Talking dirty is such a powerful move when it comes to turning him on. Plus, it helps you communicate just what your desires are. A lot of men appreciate when their partners are brave enough to talk dirty.

Tell Him You’re Not Wearing Underwear

This is another move if you’ve been having sex that can make the anticipation build. Either text him before your date and notify him that you will be going commando on your date that night, or whisper it in his ear as he opens the door to the restaurant for you.
