    Intimacy doesn’t always have to be about the woman being sexy. There is nothing wrong with the man being sexy for his partner. This is not just a physical appearance thing either – although that can add extra fun. Be her sexiest pleasure partner. If there are physical things you can do that you know will drive her wild, do them. Be a rugged man by growing some scruff, put on that shirt she just loves and add the mouthwatering cologne. Who could resist? There are many other things you can do beyond physical appearance. Make her feel like she’s the finest thing you’ve ever laid eyes on; that you just cannot stop touching because you don’t want to. Don’t be afraid to be creative – she’ll return the favor! Get her excited by running your tongue up her neck to her ear, exhaling lightly and seductively. This will activate the now moistened skin sending her nerves wild. Don’t be afraid to nibble, bite gently, pull and tug all over her. Don’t forget her highly-sensitive nipples; men often don’t pay enough attention to these turn-on buttons. Don’t always go for the gold – make her body tremble with desire before […]

    A recent study conducted by the makers of Schick Hydro razors and the research firm Sperling’s Best Places ranked George Mason University the 23rd cleanest-shaven school in the U.S. What is No Shave November, anyway? It is known as No Shave November and Movember, but no matter what you call it, the event has become a cultural phenomenon. It started in 2003 as “Movember,” short for “moustache November,” in Melbourne, Australia as a way to raise money for prostate cancer research. What started as a small movement among friends quickly became an international event. Over the last seven years, the occasoin has grown. The Washington Post estimates the month-long event brought over $40 million for prostate cancer research last year. Men aren’t the only ones allowed to participate. Women are encouraged to forgo shaving their legs during November. So while most students won’t find themselves sporting the same luxurious facial hair as Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam in the month’s remaining weeks, most students would love an excuse to put down the razor. For more information on No Shave November, including ways to donate to prostate cancer research, visit us.movember.com. Among the top five cleanest shaven colleges were Virginia schools […]
