Your Sexiest 24 Hours Ever!

The Secret to a Mind-blowing Climax? Building Up Your Arousal All Day Long.

- Julie Vadnal

When clothes are coming off at lightning speed, it can be hard to get your libido firing at the same pace as your partner’s. For women, arousal is a sequential process that starts in your mind, and it takes time to bring your body on board. But know this: A single sexy thought can be enough to send “get ready!” signals to your brain and nether regions, prompting desire and increasing vaginal lubrication, says gynecologist Elizabeth Poynor, MD. Tap into this effect from the minute your alarm goes off and you’ll build up your sex drive hour by hour—to the point that your body will be screaming for a release. Use these tricks to gift your brain a lady boner so major, you’ll be raring to go by tonight’s hookup.

Lather Up

In the shower, use a wash containing an essential oil that primes you for getting down. For instance, studies show that lavender oil can lower stress (a total O-blocker) and jasmine oil can stimulate your entire body. Rub it on your skin using your hands to activate feel-good oxytocin. (We like Sustain Citrus + Ginger Body Wash, $17, sustainnatural.com, for its desire-boosting extracts.)
