As we (a generic collective for us nice girls) have always called it 'making love' and not 'having sex', here's to discovering all the ways we can turn it tender, romantic, mysterious and oh-so-sweet

1 Tickle, Tickle.
2 Look deep into his eyes, into his soul, make sure your lenses don't pop out.
3 Spread honey in relevant places - how much sweeter can you get!
4 Cuddle up, cuddle up, sex isn't only about intercourse!
5 Let him undress you, put scarves in weird places to make it harder.
6 Play Twister... naked.
7 Eat lemon and sugar crepes in bed.
8 Paint each other with melted chocolate, fling sprinkles into the air; let them fall strategically on the body.
9 Leave a titillating trail of cryptic, sexy notes for your love muffin. Give him little hints and clues that will lure him to a hidden treasure at home, which of course, is you!
10 Send loverboy his love-horoscope for the day, along with redeemable coupon for the sweetest, longest and most delicious kiss he's ever got!
11 Breakfast in bed. Surprise him with his favourite spread. Finish off with some sexy dessert - you.
12 Hit and run ... a bit of chase is always good. Hit on him, when he least expects it, then give him a come-hither look and run for it.
13 Cook a meal together. Remember the potter's wheel scene in the film 'Ghost'? Imagine what you could do kneading dough for rotis!! A little desi kinkiness never hurt!
14Ice Cream - works for most people. Lick it off.
15 Kill time by kissing.
16 A glorious Balinese massage - use every body part of yours to massage him. Use loads of subtly fragrant oil to make all the slip sliding easy. Make sure you've had a good pedicure before you use your feet on his back.
17 Take a hot shower together or a long bath in the tub. It's quite a clichéd one, but nevertheless very very sweet and steamy. Light some candles; use a fragrant bath gel.
18 Put a little love note in his lunchbox.
19 When he's travelling, slip a piece of your lingerie into his bag. Either he'll really pine for you and pounce the moment he's back, or you've just sent him into the arms of the nearest hottie he can find.
20 If you're not going to be home, stack his favourite stuff in the fridge with little 'eat me', 'drink me' notes. When you return, have an 'eat me' note stuck on you.
21 Play the right music. Remember the sex scene from 'Jerry McGuire' - a bad choice of music makes Tom Cruise pause when things are getting hot n heavy and ask Renee, "Can I ask you something? What in the WORLD is that music?" Go for the 'City of Angels' soundtrack instead.
22 Go skinny-dipping in your pool at night. The sneakiness of the whole thing heightens the sexual senses! Make sure there are no wandering building watchmen around.
23 Create a basket of sensual goodies! A massage mitten, a long feather, whipped cream, some wine, an erotic coupon book (you can make this one up), some sexy lingerie, a blindfold and massage oil... And anything else your kinky head can think of.
24 Turn your bedroom into a love palace -rosey lighting, fragrance, a bit of incense, dark blue silk bed spread and pillows, the works!
25 Damsel In Distress Seduction: Call your mate into the bedroom to help you with something urgent. Once he has 'rescued' you, reward him handsomely for his brave gallantry.
26 Role-play. Pretend you don't know each other. Go out, let him make the first move to get you. Seduce and tease each other all over again... and when you get home, you'll feel the same rush you did on your first date!
27 Without speaking, take your partner and make love to him. Silence can be an exhilarating turn on. It's even better if you do this as soon as your guy comes home.
28Ice. If it's good for Kim Basinger in 'Nine 1/2 weeks', it's definitely good for us.
29 Experiment with different types of kisses. Who says there's only French!
30 Sleep on the terrace and star gaze. Spread a dhurrie or a single folding bed, take just one blanket and snuggle.
31 Do up your hair, put on some delicious make-up and wear only your high heels to bed.
32 Go somewhere just for the sake of making love. For example, a hotel, a secluded area, etc.
33 Play back Pictionary. Use your fingers to draw a picture on each other's back. Have him guess what it is in two minutes.
34 Give each other butterfly kisses. Start with a soft kiss on their forehead. Then kiss his eyes and flutter your eyelashes against his face and cheeks.
35 Make kissing history. The longest recorded kiss was 417 minutes. Try and beat it. Keep an ice pack for your lips on stand-by.
36 Foot massage. This should be way up on this list. They say 70 per cent of foot massages end in sex.
37 Play Truth or Dare. Just the two of you.
38 Tape a series of arrows to the wall that lead to your bedroom. Be waiting there!
39 Volunteer to be a human sundae!
40 Pretend to be going somewhere and instead pull over to a secluded spot and make love in the car.
41 Get up in the middle of the night and turn the bedroom into a sensual amusement park! Fill the room with bouncy balls for more fun! Choose a night when your partner's not super exhausted.
42 Pack a basket with champagne, fried calamari rings, iced oysters, lemon wedges, fresh strawberries and two large blankets. Head to the beach for the night.
43 Read your favourite bits from books all night. Nothing like intellectualising love-making!
44 Pick one evening of the month (or week) for Fantasy Night. Whatever he wishes, you deliver - of course, as long as it doesn't mean you have to suck his toes or something! Yikes.
45 Play strip hide and seek. Every time you find him, he takes off an article of his clothing and vice versa.
