What Turns Me On About My Man

I was reading an article from one of my favorite bloggers on Shine, Terry Marsh, and he posed the question-  what turns you on about a man?  It started me thinking about the things that turn me on about my man. To be honest, it's something I hadn't thought about recently. You know how everyday life gets so hectic, between work, the kids, and everything else that drives us, or should I say me, nearly insane on a daily basis. It becomes too easy to forget the basics, the little things that made me fall in love with him in the first place, all those years ago. If I had to name the main thing about him that snatched my attention first off, it would probably be the cool, confident way he first aproached me, as if he just knew it was alright with me, and it was. I could immediately feel his strong sense of comfortability with himself, and I have to say, it was sexy as all get out. As he strode over to where I was standing, I could see the smile on his face- so handsome- he seemed obilivous to everyone and everything except me. Stangely, this didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all, instead I was taken in and held by his gaze, and I found myself wondering what his vioce would sound like when he finally spoke to me. He looked so good to me, and I couldn't wait to hear what he was going to say to me, somehow I already knew that whatever it was, it would be the right thing.
 
His confidence made me feel at ease  with myself as well, and soon after he got us drinks he had me laughing about to this day I don't remember what. But I do remember the laughs came suprisingly easy with him-  that's the next thing that seemed to draw me in-  how effortlessly he could make me laugh. I swear, the more we laughed, more aware I became of the heat building between us. It was a strangely arousing experience, and in my head, I began to wonder how  his sensuously full lips would feel aganist mine when he kissed me. I was literally aching  for it, and this might sound cliche, but, somehow, during that first conversation with him I knew that this was going to be something different with this man. Things just seemed to click into place for me, and frankly, it scared me a little, but in that dangerously exilarating way, and you know it's time to buckle up because this ride's going to be the one that's going to take you all the way there. My hunny and I  have been on that sometimes bumpy, always interesting-  and ever growing better with time- ride of life together ever since. I know I 've been truly blessed to have come this far with him. Three kids,and a couple of decades later,our love has endured the trials of life's ups and downs,and still after all this time the love we share continues to amaze me in the fact that it is still evolving through each phase of life we experience together,into an ever deepening friendship and appreciation of one another. The passion between us has continued to be sublimely sayisfying in ways I never realized possible, our love story continues.

    You are truely a blessed lady, Layla. I've been with the love of my life for only 2 years now, but, wow, what a man! Everything he does and says turns me on. He likes to use phrases like, "my love", "my baby", my beautiful one", "my darling", oh gosh, just makes me melt. He "gets" me in every way. He knows when somethings wrong. I'll be thinking that I'm doing a great job being "ok" because I don't want to burden him with something trivial, but he catches it...stops me dead in my tracks and says, "what's the matter, honey? Is something bothering you?" He senses my every little thing. I guess it boils down to the fact that he is so in tune with me. Sometimes more than I am with myself. Can be a little scarey sometimes. But he loves me for me, and all my ways, good and bad. He is outrageously sexy, and yet quite modest. I like to "catch" him getting out of the shower so I can just see him in all his glory, and he blushes! But then he'll let me see cause he knows it pleases me. How sweet is that. Okay, now I'm sounding quite gushy and mushy, and I can hear y'all gagging out there. But, ladies, if my man just looks at me with those loving eyes, that's all it takes. *sigh*

    Hi Layla... First of all, thanks so much for the compliment. Secondly, and most important, thank you for such a beautiful reflection about what turns you on about your man. It sounds like he made such a great first impression, and that first impression has been a lasting one.

    I love the way that you remember specific details about how he moved you on that first night. And I love the way you sound as though it was only yesterday. I hope that you'll always feel the freedom to express your heart, and that he continues to inspire you.

    What turns me on about my man? What doesn't? He makes me laugh. He knows me better than anyone. He can calm me down with just the sound of his voice. He understands me and appreciates me and respects me and wants to protect me - but at the same time he knows I'm very capable on my own. And he knows how to make love to me perfectly. We're soul mates.
