Set the mood:

1- Install ambient lighting
We're starting off at the very beginning here, but a little bit of lighting can go a long way. Install ambient lighting in the living room or bedroom: it should be dimmed and in a warm colour like orangey yellow.

You could even go with a red bulb but beware as that is a bit full on - but it's worth knowing a soft pink light is most flattering to your bare body

2- Invest in candles
Invest in candles. They create a kind of light that's particularly flattering and contributes to intimacy.

Psychologically speaking, if the candle is on the table between you and it's dark around you, you'll feel closer together in the same circle of light. It all boils down to science y'know.

3- Choose hot colours
Choose hot colours for your bedroom, as well as ethnic, shimmering and shiny fabrics. Furniture, curtains, rugs for example.

Guys often like a "minimalist" style and a metallic and cold modern look, but it's not very erotic and it's all about setting the mood! We're not saying go the whole Austin Powers, sixties s*x dungeon look but a few sensual seduction pieces never go amiss.

Its all about you:

4- Dress to impress
Dress to impress! Men are governed by their eyes and like a bull reacting to the colour red, they react to the way a woman looks.

Wear soft, tactile, warm-coloured clothing that's sexy and suggestive without being too much, and definitely choose clothes that show off your best bits. Less isn't necessarily more when it comes to seduction - leave something to the imagination.

5- Apply make-up
Apply make-up: red lipstick in particular is believed by ethnologists to have erotic properties: it tends to represent the swelling of the labia minora which go red when aroused.

6- Be suggestive
Be suggestive: while the sense of sight is erogenous, showing off too much skin isn't necessarily sexy.

When choosing your clothes, don't go too far: a suggestive neckline which leaves something to the imagination is often more erotic than a completely transparent shirt! Buttons and zips can be exciting too but leave the unbuttoning for later.

7- Make erotic movements
The sense of sight doesn't just concern motionless aspects, it also captures movements.

Certain movements are very stimulating with the right atmosphere: licking yourlips, crossing your legs, caressing your thigh with a hand or suggestively biting your bottom lip are all things that will drive him wild.

8- Move a mirror into your bedroom for one night
Place a mirror in your bedroom. Seeing yourself in the throes of passion can be a real turn-on.

Music to his ears:

After sight, hearing is the second sense that counts. It plays a major role in creating an ambience so if you want to make him fall in love with you, act on this sense!

9- Choose ambient music
Choose music based on your own personal tastes if you don't know him that well, or based on his tastes which will make him putty in your hands! Think sexy background music. The focus should be on you and not the heavy metal - not hot.

10- Read aloud
It might sound ridiculous but reading aloud from a book or, if you've bagged yourself a sensitive type, a poem can be sexy. It all depends on how you read it.

You could even write down your greatest fantasy about the two of you and read it to him - sophisticated dirty talk if you will.

11- Read an erotic story together
Read an erotic story together that you've chosen. This source of stimulation will pass from his ears to his brain and will turn out to be very arousing. You might find you get really turned on by erotic literature too so you'll both benefit.

12- Speak with your romantic voice
Having a slightly different way of speaking to your man is a good way of putting him in the mood without being to obvious. Just switching subtley from normal speech to bedroom speech should get the juices flowing.

13- Use innuendo when talking to him
Use fun and flirty language when you talk to him. It's cheeky and after all, having a laugh with the guy you're going for is the biggest turn-on.

Indulge his sense of taste and smell:

Get outside
The senses of taste and smell are the most primitive and their sensors are located at the centre of the brain where the archaic brain is located.

This is why they are important in the animal aspect of sexuality, an aspect that can be extremely powerful if you know how to use it to your advantage.

14- Prepare an aphrodisiac meal
Turning him on with his taste buds might seem a little far fetched, but trust us it works! Read our A-Z of aphrodisiac foods to give you some ideas.

15- Make him breathe you in
One of the best ways to turn a man on is through your perfume. Get your own signature smell, something seductive and spray it all over yourself whenever you're about to get down to it. He'll then signify your smell with being close to you and every time he smells it, it will trigger that memory!
