A Clean Sex Machine!

A note about personal hygiene. If your lover is sensitive to your feelings, you will most likely never hear, "It's not your technique, dear, it's your breath!" They may just choose not to make love with you anymore.

Bad breath and body odors can keep your love partner from being able to fully enjoy physical intimacy with you. It creates distance. Not good.

Talk about turnoffs! Foreplay is probably not the best time to ask, "Honey, did you brush and floss your teeth?" It may be difficult to relax enough to enjoy yourself with your partner while you are holding your nose!

If you take sex with your partner seriously, take time to prepare for making love.

Smart love partners take some time to bathe before they make love. Take a long hot shower or a leisurely warm bath. Apply a dash of cologne or perfume. Brush your teeth. Gargle some tasty mouthwash.

Next, create a loving atmosphere by lighting some candles, putting on your favorite love-making music and focusing on pleasuring each other. Notice I said, "each other!"

It is a wise partner who understands that making love is a mutual thing; never one-sided. Do your best to make sure that your partner is satisfied. Making love should be mutually beneficial.

To not make yourself ready for the highest level of the expression of love is showing gross disrespect for your lover.

Clean lovers are always ready for any erotic surprises their lover may be willing to undertake.
