#14 When you praise him in bed. Men want an ego boost every once in a while, and this extends into the bedroom as well.

Take control, and let him know that you wanna take it slow by guiding his hands and face along your body. By doing that, he’ll know what you want, and enjoy the moment instead of focusing on penetration. And of course, that gives you the much needed extended foreplay to warm yourself up too!

#27 When you surprise him. Everyone loves surprises, and a good way to spice things up in bed is to do something that will catch him off-guard—in a good way.

#28 When you do something kinky. Sometimes, men like it when you let out your freaky side, too.
