Let It Strip

Men are visual creatures so show him what he wants to see. Put on some music and, well, put on a show for him. You don't have to be a good dancer – just move around seductively and remove your clothes a bit at a time (yes, it's really that easy!). Make sure you touch him along the way too, for added stimulation. Make him sit on a chair or the bed and randomly touch parts of his body while you're doing your striptease – and you don't have to use just your hands either. For some striptease inspiration, watch Demi Moore in Striptease or Kim Basinger in 9½ Weeks. But, seriously, you don't even have to do it well – he'll appreciate the thought and definitely love the image.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Make out with a few strategically placed mirrors – or even just reflective surfaces – in the room so he can look at you from all angles and your facial expressions (which should be pleasurable ones, for best effect) too. You don't have to have sex with all these mirrors around you if it makes you uncomfortable; use them only when you're at the foreplay stage and while you still have your clothes on.

Sext Talk

Send him naughty messages during the day. Either go all out dirty and tell him exactly what you want him to do to you when you get home or be subtle and say things like, “I really how you did xx the other night” or “It's been a while since we've had some special time alone, I miss you”. Even if you don't spell it out for him, he'll feel wanted by you and that will make him want you more. Or, if you're really daring, send him a racy photo of yourself – just make sure nobody sees you taking it in the office.

Shower Power

Have a shower together and take it from there. Even if he wasn't in the mood before, the sight of you naked and wet and in such close proximity to his naked body will do the job for him, making it the perfect foreplay activity.

Dance Like No One's Watching

Slow dancing is a great way to turn each other on. You're both physically close, you're touching each other and there's plenty of reasons for your hands to wander all over each other – whether in time to the music or not.

Work It!

Go for a jog or do a workout together. Then, when you get home, while you're both still sweaty, pounce on him and turn all that exercise-induced heavy breathing into something sexual.

Wear It Well

Whether it's that sexy lingerie set he bought you for Valentine's Day last year (that you haven't worn since) or that dress you know he loves you in, put on what turns him on and let the rest unfold by itself. You won't need to give him much instructions once he's seen you in said outfit.

Take Charge

Men find confident women sexy so tell him what you want. You don't have to go full-on dominatrix, just show him the way. Use words or touch, it really doesn't matter. Whether it's while you're both relaxing on the sofa or as he steps out of the shower or even the minute he gets home from work...take the initiative and get the ball rolling for some sensual action.

Love Notes

This works best in the weekend or when he's home all day...leave him little notes all over the house, with instructions as to what you want him to do to you or vice versa. Leave them in places you know he'll find them or direct him to them nonchalantly (eg. “Could you please get me my hand cream from my bedside drawer” – where he'll find a note).

Rub It In

Give him a relaxing massage and let your fingers wander to wherever you think he wants them to. Happy ending purely optional.
