The simple sex move that'll leave women begging for more... all men can do it and it works every time
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Forget the clichés about us always 'having a headache' or 'not being in the mood,' we women are often in the mood.
It's just that a lot of blokes haven't figured out what really turns us on.
I'm talking about those micro-moves that tip us over the edge from vague attraction to rampant, got-to-have-it-now desire, and catapult a man from friendzone to end zone.
It happened to me recently on a date with a very handsome French man.
As he ordered us a glass of champagne, I noticed he was a little jittery. He kept running his hand through his hair, then he started stuttering.
That's right, despite the sexy French accent, handsome bearded face and 6-foot-3-inch frame, this man was nervous. And that's what did it for me.
It wasn't the cologne, it wasn't the stylish suit, it was those nervous little quirks that saw me skip the hors d'oeuvres and go straight to the main hunk of beef.
So, listen up fellas - I've done the research and come up with my list of zero-fail tricks guaranteed to fast track you from small talk to pillow talk.

Sleeve roll
Trust me, women everywhere are one rolled-up sleeve away from losing the plot.
There's something about watching a man push up his sleeves before carrying a heavy box or fixing the Wi-Fi that's borderline indecent.
The veins, the muscle, the subtle reminder that, yes, he could probably wrestle a bear.
Firm but fair
Forget loud bravado. What gets a woman hot is quiet, competent intervention.
One reader was at dinner when a rude waiter snapped at her. Her date calmly called the server out, then turned back to her with a smile.
It's not drama; it's grace under pressure that does it.
Soup, Sudafed and sex appeal
Who doesn't love to be taken care of?
I know one woman who wasn't remotely attracted to her housemate until she got the flu and he arrived with a bag of cold medicine, her favorite chocolate and his Nonna's chicken soup.
By the second feverish night, she wanted to climb him like a tree. It wasn't the soup; it was the thoughtfulness.
Soft touch
Look, it might say things about gender roles that we don't want to dig into too deeply - but the low, subtle hand on the small of your back as he guides you through a crowded bar? Forget it. One touch and your brain short-circuits.
This move takes a woman from 'I guess he's fine' to 'damn he's fine!' in seconds.
Seductive sheen
A shocking number of women find men suddenly sexy when they're slightly sweaty.
We're not talking swamp-creature gym selfies, more the light sheen acquired by carrying a couch up a flight of stairs or chopping wood.
It's competence, testosterone and pheromones in one glorious glow.
Sometimes all it takes is him rolling up his sleeves, perfectly parallel parking or cracking a joke for women to swoon
Driving her wild
Merging into traffic without a fuss. Parallel parking in one clean movement. Girl, don't even get me started on when he reverse parks using only one hand.
It's basically soft-core porn for women in the passenger seat.
Carry-on chivalry
What is it about watching a man effortlessly swing your suitcase into the overhead bin on an airplane that makes you want to rip off his clothes?
I'll tell you. It's muscles, plus helpfulness, plus an 'I've got you' smile, and it's seen many women fall in lust before take-off.
Hot to trot humor
Sometimes it's not even physical.
It's when he lets out one deep, genuine belly laugh – the kind that crinkles his eyes and shows you a side you've never seen before.
One reader told me, 'I didn't even like him until he laughed at something I said. Suddenly I wanted to marry him.'
Bodyguard
This is a stealth power move, and it's worked on me.
A man I wasn't really interested in once walked me home after a night out. We got to a dodgy street, and he moved so that he was on the outside of the sidewalk, between me and the road. Didn't say anything, didn't make a big deal of it. Just did it.
Reader, I nearly kissed him right there under the streetlight.
