Girl Talk Thursday - What turns you on?

What turns me on? Can I get away with “it depends?” Because it depends.

I used to be a pretty horny chick. You know, like a decade ago. Two kids later, not so much. And I hate that. I have big plans to start having more sex as soon as I’m done breastfeeding in about five months.

That epic angst mostly aside, these things (in no particular order) turn me on.

• A man’s arms. Specifically my husband’s crazy new arms since he’s been working out like five days a week. (WTF.)
• Backs. Everyone’s backs. I love backs.
• Butts. Same thing. I like all butts and I cannot lie.
• A clean house. Sadly, it’s hard for me to even relax in front of the TV when my house is clean. Sex? That’s even harder when I’m stressed. Clutter and mess stress me out.
• A buzz. Yeah, I’m warm and fuzzy drunk. With a couple of drinks in me, I can be coerced in major ways. I get huggy and grabby too.
• Dancing. I love going dancing.
• Dancing. I love watching dancing. Physical talent is a huge turn on. I'm looking at you, Kupono. As long as you keep your mouth shut.
  
• Hockey players.
  
• Feeling sexy. Stick me in some tight jeans and a cute top and some makeup and I am way more likely to get turned on.
• Chuck Bass.
• Naughty outfits. Short short shorts, a frilly skirt, whatever. Sometimes I need a wardrobe boost in the bedroom.
• Music. I wish I had my old "nookie playlist" from 1998.
  
• Fantasizing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with letting your mind wander if it helps you get to where you need to go. I’m keenly aware of my physical response to fantasy/arousal. If I can’t get in the right headspace, my lady area does not cooperate.
• Intelligence.
• Laughter.
  
• Dudes all squirmy and tied up and stuff in action movies and whatnot. Um.
• I just slipped that one in there hoping no one would notice.
• Flirtation. I’m not talking nasty come-ons. But genuine, sweet flirtation? That makes me crazy. (In the good crazy way.)
• Surprise initiation. I love being pleasantly surprised by nookie suggestions.
• Compliments/touching. I spend all day being a mother. I use my body to nourish my infant and cuddle my preschooler. When it’s sexin’ time, it’s almost like I have to flip a huge switch and that switch gets awfully rusty and creaky. A kiss or hug or touch initiated by my husband is oftentimes exactly what I need to feel like ME instead of MAMA. Sometimes I’m so blown away by a random display of affection/desire that it dizzies me. I ache when I seriously consider how infrequently I get affection as a woman and not as a mother.
• WTF this list just got depressing.
• Also, boners.
• Like 3 million actors and actresses. Too many to list.
• Man-smell. Not like, armpit smell. Like shaving cream/deodorant./soap clean man smell.
• Erotic, arty photography.
• Having my hair played with or a light caress on the backs of my arms.
• My boobies. Except for right now. They’re on loan. Sigh.
• Random makeouts in public. Particularly with surprise tongue.

So, what turns you on?
