There’s not much sexier in this world than someone who knows what they bring to the table. But there’s a fine line between being confident and being cocky. For most women, there’s a need for their partner to ride that line as hard as they plan to ride them.

A little cockiness, when backed up, is hot. I won’t deny it. As a switch, there are times I find myself turned on by a person who takes control and shows me who’s boss.

In bed.

We’re equal partners everywhere else.

Just like cologne, don’t over-do it. Cockiness can be taken too far and when it is, it’s a huge turn-off. I don’t want to hear about your sexual prowess. I don’t want to be regaled with stories of your past conquests.

I want you to show me.

I do want you to talk. Just do it while we’re getting down and dirty.

Sex is about the pleasure of everyone involved. Whether it’s a one-night stand, an orgy, or a long-term relationship, everyone participating should be working towards the pleasure of their partner(s).
