Tools of Seduction: Kiss the Cook

Take it from a girl who burns toast: a man who can cook is a precious (and sexy) commodity. But whether you're a gourmet guru or nutritional novice, there exists a simple key to culinary prowess:

Tools of Seduction: Candlelit Massage, Upgraded

When it comes to getting in the mood, you can't go wrong with a nice massage from your significant or insignificant other. Another classic? Candlelight.

But I prefer my naughty time with a little bit more of a sexier edge than that Cinemax movie scenario--so you can bet I was excited to try out a new product from Jimmyjane that made a candlelit massage even hotter:

Tools of Seduction: Picnic in the Park

table on the go

Almost a full year ago, former Materialista Wendy posted about this on-the-go table which, judging by this picture, totally makes for the most romantic date ever.

But you don't need this entire, picture-perfect setup to successfully woo your picnic partner.

Tools of Seduction: Very Temporary Tattoos

I know that tats are a dime a dozen these days, but something deep inside me still finds them sexy.

Perhaps this is due to early teen memories of Jersey Shore boardwalk tattoo parlor workers with lip rings and bleached blonde, spiky hair. Perhaps...

Which is why today's tool of seduction plays into that, in a not-totally-committed sort of way:

Tools of Seduction: Bamboo for Two

You've turned out the lights, lit the candles, and switched your iPod to The Best of Teddy Pendergrass. The moment is oh so right, until... wait, what's with these scratchy, cheap-ass sheets?

Remedy your cheap sheet dilemma with these truly amazing (and truly affordable) 100% bamboo sheets:

Tools of Seduction: Do Not Disturb

There's just something about a hotel room. Maybe it's the anonymity, the sense that whatever happens behind those hideous curtains will forever be a secret. Or maybe it's the free cable (what about ConAir edited for TV and screened at 2am isn't sexy?). Whatever the explanation, hotel rooms are indeed one of the sexiest places around. So here's how you can maximize your next hotel visit:

Tools of Seduction: Let's Play a Game

Yesterday I introduced you guys to Barcelona-based company Bijoux Indiscrets, then proceeded to spend the rest of afternoon drooling over their collection of sexy seduction tools. My absolute favorites? Bijoux's unique role-playing kits made for adventurous couples:

Tools of Seduction: Pillow Fight

It's a fact: there isn't anything more irresistible than a pillow fight. But you know what's not fun at all? Having to clean up the mess.

Introducing a pillow set that is made to maximize (sexy) fun and minimize mess:

Tools of Seduction: Indulge His Sweet Tooth

I've tried the chocolate body frosting.

I've tried the sizzling body candy.

I've even tried the ol' whipped-cream-on-the-boobs trick. (Okay. So I didn't really try this one.)

They're all a mess! Stay clean and still taste delicious with some of these:

Tools of Seduction: Love Potion

It's a fact: there are certain substances in nature that significantly increase libido. We've all had an evening of popping oysters and nibbling chocolate just to see what might happen, right? (Really, any reason to consume oysters and chocolate in ridiculous quantities is a good thing.) But what if you could forgo grocery shopping, cooking, or going out to eat and instead have your own bottle of aphrodisiac ready and waiting?

For your libido-heightening convenience, here is a roundup of bonafide love potions:

Tools of Seduction: Highlighting Your Assets

When it comes to fashion, I've learned that it pays to highlight your best assets.

Which is why I wear v-neck sweaters and/or shoulder-baring tops.

What to do, however, when your best asset is a bit more...hidden?

Tools of Seduction: Working the South Asian Circuit

Okay, it's been an upward battle for awhile, but I think it's finally safe to say that South Asians are officially the new "It" minority. We've got Freida Pinto, Padma Lakshmi, Dev Patel, Aziz Ansari, ~~Bobby Jindal~~ (whoops), Kal Penn, Anoop Desai from "American Idol", Dave from "Flight of the Conchords", M.I.A., Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes), and more.

I'm sure that everyone's desire to have a South Asian boyfriend or girlfriend is at a fever pitch right now. Well, if Slumdog Millionaire and "Jai Ho" are your only conversation starters when you meet these brown beauties, you may want to pick up some of these shirts from Chor Bazaar, an indie-Indian t-shirt label out of Brooklyn:

Tools of Seduction: Tie One On

Allow me to illuminate a perfect date gone wrong: first, dinner at a place that's fun, not too fancy. Next, a stroll, a chat, maybe a stop for ice cream. Check in at your neighborhood bar and have some laughs over a few rounds of drinks. It's been fun, so you decide to go back to his place. Live sexily, right? So you get there, and his roommate is home watching Evil Dead 2 on cable, which is cool. You like that movie. You and your date stumble back to his room, sated and a little drunk and definitely ready for some fun. As you make yourself comfortable, you notice him pull a dirty sock from his hamper, lean around the door to his bedroom, and plunk that stinky sucker right on the doorknob. Um, yeah. He just lost some serious sexy points.

Enter the perfect doorknob signal:

Tools of Seduction: Sexy Stilettos

[$911, farfetch]

Apparently, there's been a study that scientifically proves that wearing high heels can better your orgasm.

That's right. Wearing stilettos helps women develop their pelvic muscles, which in turn influences the contraction ability of the muscles. And well-developed pelvic muscles strengthen sexual arousal, allowing women to have stronger orgasms.

But riddle me this:
