All very good suggestions. I agree with Tatie Anderson about #1. My wonderful girlfriend on Valentine's day kissed me softly at the top of every hour of the day, told me she's deeply in love with me and wore a sexy outfit. Just the fact that she extended herself to do that made my heart melt. Needless to say, she got the best sex of her life, several times, including in the kitchen(yes,I cooked dinner). I'm just a guy, but I think she just wanted sex from me and of course, I loved it, too.

Plain old s e x works for me! This is the best gift anyone can give anyone. That's what guys want. The rest of the stuff is what women want. That's what it boils down to... The big oh!!
