Guys, think you know how to turn a lady on? Think again. It’s long been known that women are a lot more cerebral when it comes to attraction than men are. We’ve all seen it: the mediocre, pudgy dude with the hot girlfriend. Our first instinct is to look to see what car he’s driving 
But sometimes things just don’t add up and guys just have to realize that being an underwear model isn’t all that. Kinda gives us dot com geeks a chance after all. Now I just gotta find a hottie who’s impressed with my knowledge of Star Trek trivia:) Here’s this week’s installment of Sunday Sex Sizzler!
What Turns Women On?
The sex drive is a complicated process in women. Masters and Johnson said that women begin their sexual response with desire, leading to arousal, orgasm and satisfaction of the initial desire. Scientists now see the female sexual response as a far more complicated process requiring a combination of physical changes (e.g., increased vaginal blood flow and lubrication, elevated breathing and heart rate, uterine contractions) and psychological factors (e.g., status of the relationship, stress, fantasy, imagination). Blood androgen levels (e.g., testosterone) are central to stimulating sexual desire at the physical and emotional levels. University of Texas researchers found that sexual arousal was complex in women and included psychological cues linked to emotional bonding, erotic stimulation, visual images and romance. The most significant cues in order of importance were: support from the partner, watching erotic movies, feeling love and commitment with a partner, reading about sex, watching people involved in sexual activity and “dirty talking”. Surprisingly, conventional wisdom about female erotic cues was off the mark. Cues that men think turn women on - such as pleasant-smelling colognes, romantic dinners, watching sunsets, seeing a well-toned body, laughing with a romantic partner and acting confident - were less important than emotional bonding cues. The study showed large perceptual differences between the sexes regarding what turns women on. (Journal Sexual Medicine, 3: 838-852, 2006)

I’m first to comment! I don’t think you can actually narrow down what it is that will turn a woman on to a man…yes, there are little things like scent, physique, etc. but these don’t necessarily equal arousal.
In almost all cases (for me, at least), it is the “spark” that does it for me…there is a certain tension you feel when this person leans in closer to you. You get a little hot and flustered but you can’t explain why. It could be the way he speaks his mind, his overall appearance, how he flirts, etc. I know each and every case is different depending on the man.
To conclude, I feel that you cannot narrow down exactly what it is that REALLY makes a woman want to jump a man’s bones. Sorry boys!
I just usually get them drunk. “Here, have a roofie colada!”
Well…we all know that works! With tequila shots at the Shark Club….no roofies required
