Just recently, a good friend of mine posted the Alicia Keys and Maxwell's "Fire We Make" video. My curiosity was piqued. It has to be the sexiest video I have seen in a long time, and they barely even touch! His amazingly fine-tuned voice makes me swoon; and all of it makes me just want to melt ice cubes into my decolletage. That's sexy, isn't it?
There is a distinct reason why TV Shows such as True Blood, The Tudors or Game of Thrones are and have been so popular, and it does not have to do with the talented scripting, attractive actors and elaborate costumes. No. In the end, it is that they offer the perfect balance, the perfect mix of Sex and Violence, both subjects that have fascinated the eternally voyeuristic human eye and brain. There is something incredibly sexy about the often bloody throw-downs depicted in these shows. If you'll let them, they might just awaken the voracious animal in you.
A past lover and I had gotten into the habit of meeting
later in the evening. As I'd wait for him at home, I would practice
active turn-on. What is it, you ask? Active turn-on is the act of not
waiting for your lover to turn you on once they arrive, but rather, to already be in a
well advanced stage of turn-on by the time they arrive.
My win formula was this one: a candle-lit bath + my 'Get-it-on' Playlist + 1 glass of red wine + a sexy movie (in that order) = a night of steaming hot love-making.
In recent years, I have assembled a collection of movies that I would play in these special moments. They would help me get in the right head and general physical space. One that never fails me is The Lover directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, based on the novel with the same name written by French writer Marguerite Duras. Indochina (Vietnam, to be specific) in the 20's. The muggy banks of the Mekong river. A languid pace in the delivery. Sweaty sex between two unlikely characters: a 16 year old French woman and an older Chinese business man. Hotness.
Time has also come to gather a collection of Sexy movies. Can you at once think of specific movies and scenes that tickle you in all the right places? If not, let me get you started.
