Tired of listening to the same old breakup stories, I decided to search for the brighter side of things. I’m not saying that I don’t feel for the people who’ve shared all their heart crushing anecdotes, I do. But today I feel it’s time to talk about those around me that I see entirely content with life. Whether living the single life or being part of a healthy relationship, my journal’s most recent entries have been filled with serene hearts and, somewhat, clear minds.
I believe this is thanks to the incredible support of a solid group of friends who seem to make even the tedious bearable. So as we say goodbye to depressingly grey afternoons, today we cover a brighter, more uplifting topic, as we take a look at the opinions of several men regarding female sensuality. These are the little things that turn them on and the power seems to reside in the desire that governs a romantic bond.
I should note that none of these are directly related so sex, which I think, makes them even more amazing.
“Just seeing her makes my day worth it. Knowing she’s with me makes me want to always be close to her. But it’s on those mornings when she wears that perfume that matches her best, when she knows she’ll make me smile, that’s when I feel even more drawn to her. I suddenly just want to kiss her and she just takes advantage of the situation.” – Carlos (age 31)
“Her spontaneity. Her ability to turn things around, even my mind. She makes me dizzy and reminds me of our first date. When she turns irreverent, she’ll make fun of anything, and that’s the moment when I’ll hold her and we’ll both feel silly together.” – Gustavo (age 29)
“I’m perfectly aware of how strong she is. How she’s even stronger than me. So when she asks for help with the helpless look on her face, I feel like time just stops.”– Ernesto (age 27)
“I told her from day one. That’s how we met, even. I love watching her do what she’s passionate about. Seeing her help others and being so focused on helping the community just highlights her sensuality.” – Sergio (age 30)
“The first time it happened, it was so annoying to not know what was happening. But as time went by, I realized that I get really aroused just being at home next her, not doing anything. Just the two of us in bed, knowing we’ve got each other.” – Héctor (age 32)
“Her winks. That’s it. Though there’ve been moments when I’ve misinterpreted them, and gotten us in some embarrassing situations, there is nothing that lifts my spirit more than her doing that. Obviously, only at me.”– David (age 26)
“I swear that what I’m about to say isn’t sexist. I just really like to watch her cook, particularly when it’s just for me. It’s pretty hot. It’s a mix of desire and affection that I can’t really explain.”– Jorge (age 27)
“Her favorite dress. It’s that easy and that efficient.”– Octavio (age 29)
“We’ve been dating for a few months. We met at the gym at a time I felt I needed to make some changes in my life. Now the issue is that I get really turned on watching her do drills.”– Gabriel (age 30)
“Watching as she gets ready after taking a shower is everything. Particularly because after a while, I realized she has great taste in lingerie. Even if we’re not going to bed after, I get really turned on watching her in her underwear.”– Gerardo (age 29)
“The faces she makes when she talks, especially because I’ve always been mesmerized by her lips. When she wears red lipstick, I can’t help it, I do my best to steal a kiss.” – Israel (age 29)
“The way she dances. How she holds on to me as she spins, as her hair bounces, as she takes a dramatic step trying to impress everyone. She’s always been a better dancer than me, and I have no intention of improving. Truly. I love seeing her sway at a party.” – Darío (age 27)
