50 Ways to Please Your Lover

Here are a few creative, romantic, sexy, and, well, corny but sweet ideas for you that will show your mate how much they mean to you...*

1.Cuddle with them.

2.Tell them to share a fantasy of theirs, then surprise them a week later by acting it out.

3.Cook them up a three-course meal and have it waiting on the table, with candles and flowers, when they get home from work. Clean up and do the dishes afterwards yourself.

4.Do the laundry...yours and theirs.

5.Allow them to be experimental (meaning, when they come back to the bedroom with kitchen appliances, some raw cookie dough and a smile, don't be judgmental).

6.Give them a full-body, hot-oil massage. Naked.

7.Feed them chocolate-covered strawberries in bed. Naked.

8.Get up early on Saturday morning and wash their car while they are still sleeping...then go for an
afternoon drive with them and make love in the back seat on a secluded road.

9.Call them up at work.

10.Encourage them to pursue their dreams. Support their career decisions. Go to their work-sponsored softball tournament. Cheer them on in the game of life.

11.Tie them up and tickle them with a feather, an ice cube, the cat...

12.Tell them, in more than two words, how special they are to you.

13.Go out to dinner and a movie on  a Saturday night.

14.Rent them their favorite video, make some popcorn and enjoy.

15.Tell them that extra weight they gained over the holidays makes them look "sexy." And try your best to sound sincere.

16.Serve them breakfast in bed...and lunch...and dinner.

17.Don't tell them you're "ready for a commitment." Tell them you're already committed.

18.Rotate their tires and change their oil.

19.Carve their initials on the top of mushrooms and use them to garnish a nice salad.

20.Buy them that missing Barbra Streisand record, especially if you can't stand her.

21.Promise them that when he's around, you won't play your Barbra Streisand records.

22.Go for a quiet walk on a beach holding hands

23.Massage their tired feet when they come home

24.Don't tell their mother that he's the one who does the "woman" things.

25.Arrange a mystery weekend for no reason other than to vary the routine. Rent a hotel room in your own city and make reservations at a romantic restaurant and tell them to pack appropriately and be ready when you pick them up after work on Friday. If you can afford it, book a surprise weekend trip to a romantic destination: the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Hawaii, a spa, a Caribbean Island, London or Paris. Only tell them how to pack and when to be ready to be picked up for a surprise.

26.Buy them all five, er, four (oh how we miss the old days) Spice Girls On-Tour Action Figures so the  two of you can play "war" with your Barbie collection.

27.Call them early in the day and make an appointment with them to meet at home or a nearby hotel for a lunch-time sex date.

28.Get in the shower with all your clothes on and when you get out, sing to them "My Heart Will Go On" off-key at the top of your lungs.

29.If you're going out of town, leave Post-It notes with sweet little messages for them on the toothpaste tube, their coffee cup, in their underwear drawer, etc. so they will   think of you while you are gone.

30.Read fun books to each other at night-and do all the voices.

31.Give them one uninterrupted block of time alone-nobody needs their beloved in their face all the time. In fact, after they have  been alone for awhile they will   probably give you a big smooch on your face when they see you again, maybe even more than a smooch.

32.Let them play that Celine Dion CD the next time you take a long drive, even though it makes you cringe. When they look at you with that hopeful, puppy-dog look, smile sweetly and assure them that, yes, Celine does, in fact, have a beautiful voice. And no, her nose is not too big, either.

33.Mail them an "I love you" card, even though you live together.

34.Give they back to their spouse.

35.Have that protein shake waiting for them when they get home from the gym-and don't skimp on the fresh strawberries.

36.Tell them everything you're thinking.

37.Don't tell them everything you're thinking.

38.Sit them down by a warm fire and serve them up a dry martini (and don't use Duraflames!).

39.Buy them flowers, just because.

40.Role play: You're the strict, stern, too-studly high school theirtory teacher and he's the unruly, always-tardy, "I forgot my homework...again" student. Keep them after class. Find creative ways to "discipline" them.

41.Wake them up with a 'something special'.

42.Give them a day where they are in charge. Allow them to make all the decisions. Whatever they say the two of you are going to do, do it...including in the bedroom (especially in the bedroom).

43.Let them get in touch with their inner child every so often.

44.Run them a hot bath. Put on some classical music. Light a few candles. Strip them naked and put them in the tub. Wash their feet, their hands and their hair. Massage their scalp. Scrub their back. If he does so, shave their chest for them. Let them soak for awhile while you pamper and clean them. When he's done, towel them off and rub lotion all over them. Then tuck them into bed and kiss them.

45.If the two of you are out shopping and they see something he really likes but doesn't buy, go back later that day or the next day and get it for them.

46.If they have always wanted to go skydiving, hang gliding, bungee jumping, whatever, sign them up for a lesson and/or a session. Tell them how much you're looking forward to seeing them in that tight, sexy flight suit.

47.Make your own dirty movie and let them be the star.

48.Don't work on weekends.

49.Know their erogenous zones...and exploit them.

50.Kiss them whenever and wherever you can.
