" Q: What time of the year are you primed to have record-breaking red-hot sex?A: Right now.   It&amp;#039;s a proven fact that libidos rise with the temperature, and those teeny tops you&amp;#039;ve been wearing don&amp;#039;t hurt either (in fact, your husband has been in a state of constant arousal since you put the first one on). So if your inner sex goddess has been raring to come out and play, we&amp;#039;ve got the tips and tricks for taking your bedroom bonding from cozy to muy caliente. We&amp;#039;re not suggesting, of course, that you chuck your favorite sex moves along with your down comforter; just the smallest tweaks in your routine can set off smoke alarms. By adding a twist, you take it to the next lusty level -- and bring him to his knees. Whether you love kissing, wearing lingerie or lingering over lots of foreplay, we&amp;#039;ve got the little moves that will turn these coital classics into sizzling new experiences. Scan this list for your favorites; then prepare for your hottest, most intimate summer ever! Make it hotter by giving him an ultralow backrub  To rev his motor while relaxing him, place your fingertips along the sides of his spine, a few inches up from his tailbone. Massage the area in tiny circles. Then gradually lighten your caresses until you&amp;#039;re gently brushing this area with your fingertips. &amp;quot;This spot contains a nerve complex that&amp;#039;s directly linked to his genitals,&amp;quot; says Olivia St. Claire, author of 302 Advanced Techniques for Driving a Man Wild in Bed. To push him into sensual overload, use massage oil scented with ylang-ylang, a tropical aroma that has a reputation for cranking up the male libido. &amp;quot;Ylang-ylang is high in esters, a chemical compound that aids in sexual arousal,&amp;quot; explains Kathleen Duffy, an aromatherapist and the owner of the Herbarium, an herbal store in Chicopee, Massachusetts. If you like kissing...Make it hotter by delving deeper  To give kissing an extra kick, gently suck on his tongue when it enters your mouth. &amp;quot;Kissing is romantic, but having my wife do this to my tongue is so much more of a turn-on,&amp;quot; says Tim,* 35. &amp;quot;And a guy can&amp;#039;t help being reminded of oral sex.&amp;quot; There&amp;#039;s a physical reason tongue tugging does wonders: &amp;quot;The tongue muscle actually goes down to the throat, so by sucking on his tongue, you&amp;#039;re indirectly stimulating the muscles in his neck and chest,&amp;quot; says Felice Dunas, Ph.D., an author of Passion Play. &amp;quot;In essence, you&amp;#039;ll be stimulating a much larger portion of his body.&amp;quot;  To up the intensity even more, play this mind game with yourself: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve kissed my husband thousands of times, but sometimes I&amp;#039;ll pretend it&amp;#039;s the first time,&amp;quot; says Barbara, 32. &amp;quot;One morning I kissed him this way as he left for work. He was expecting the usual peck, but instead I went all out. He said, &amp;#039;Work can wait&amp;#039; before leading me to bed. It&amp;#039;s nice to know I can still slay him with a kiss!&amp;quot;  *Some names have been changed. If you like flirting a little...Make it hotter by teasing him mercilessly  Want his every thought to be of you? Treat him to all-day foreplay. &amp;quot;One Saturday morning, my wife and I started fooling around, but before it could get hot and heavy, she jumped in the shower. Then we went shopping,&amp;quot; recalls Tim. &amp;quot;But whenever we had a semiprivate moment, she&amp;#039;d touch me. By lunchtime all I had on my mind was sex. When we finally got home, we went at it as if we hadn&amp;#039;t seen each other in weeks.&amp;quot;  Delaying gratification is an incredible aphrodisiac, says S\u00E1ndor Gardos, Ph.D., president of MyPleasure.com. &amp;quot;It instills the thrill of the chase,&amp;quot; he explains. &amp;quot;The longer you let anticipation build, the more explosive the sex will be.&amp;quot; Try gently brushing your naked body against your husband while you&amp;#039;re getting dressed; then promise him more later. Or if he&amp;#039;s at work, get his pulse racing with a blush-worthy email or phone call. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll send him sexy emails like &amp;#039;I can&amp;#039;t wait to get my hands on you tonight,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; says Julia, 31. &amp;quot;I like the idea that I&amp;#039;m putting an image in his mind that will be with him all day. This way he associates me with sexiness rather than with &amp;#039;Pick up milk at the store.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; If you like sex in pitch-darkness...Make it hotter by turning on the lights   Lights turn sex into a visual smorgasbord. &amp;quot;My husband loves looking at my body. But for me it&amp;#039;s the intimacy that blows my mind,&amp;quot; says Annie, 26. &amp;quot;In the dark it&amp;#039;s easy to zone out. But the first time I left the lights on, we were amazed at what we saw. We could really focus on each other&amp;#039;s expressions, which made the sex so much more personal.&amp;quot;   Plus, shedding some light on your lovemaking will give you both a better idea of what works in bed. &amp;quot;When it&amp;#039;s dark, my husband and I are operating purely by touch, and that can limit how well you read each other&amp;#039;s sexual signals,&amp;quot; says Fran, 37. &amp;quot;When the lights are on, I can tell when he likes a certain way I&amp;#039;ve touched him, and I can make a mental note to do it again.&amp;quot; Feeling bashful? &amp;quot;Start with dim lighting or candlelight and work up to it,&amp;quot; suggests Gardos. &amp;quot;This will give you enough details to arouse you, but not so many that you feel self-conscious.&amp;quot; If you like the missionary position...Make it hotter by adding a tantalizing twist  Ready to make his temperature soar? Raise your legs and drape them over his shoulders so your knees or calves are on either side of his head (don&amp;#039;t worry, it&amp;#039;s not as hard as it sounds). Thrusting is effortless in this position -- he can grab your ankles for extra leverage -- so prepare for a wild ride! &amp;quot;The first time we had sex this way, we were amazed how exciting it was,&amp;quot; says Heather, 29. &amp;quot;Since my legs were out of his way, he could move as fast as he wanted.&amp;quot; This lusty pose has more than ease of movement going for it. &amp;quot;When you raise your legs, you push down on the pelvic floor muscles,&amp;quot; says author Dunas. &amp;quot;This will make the vaginal canal feel smaller, which will increase stimulation for him. It will also make him feel bigger (and thus better) to you because you feel more pressure from his penis against your vaginal walls.&amp;quot; If you like having sex in your bed...Make it hotter by moving the action to a desk or table  These pieces of furniture meet your husband at lower-hip height, which means you two can easily merge (he standing, you lying down). Best of all, these alternative sex sites offer a change of scenery -- and that alone will get your hearts racing. Having sex somewhere other than where you usually do is instantly more exciting, since your unfamiliar surroundings trigger an adrenaline rush, says Paul Joannides, author of the Guide to Getting it On. &amp;quot;It also says to your lover, &amp;#039;I want you so much, I couldn&amp;#039;t wait until we got to the bed,&amp;#039; which is incredibly arousing.&amp;quot;  Adding to the thrill is the idea that you could be caught (although that&amp;#039;s hardly what you&amp;#039;d really want, so make sure your kids are asleep). &amp;quot;Even if there&amp;#039;s no chance of anyone walking in, I still feel that having sex out of bed is slightly naughty,&amp;quot; says Julia. &amp;quot;It feels as if we&amp;#039;re breaking some unspoken rule -- and that&amp;#039;s a total turn-on.&amp;quot; If you like being on top...Make it hotter by really taking charge  Instead of straddling him with your knees on the bed, try what author St. Claire calls the Sumerian Squat, which according to her was a signature sex position of ancient Mesopotamian goddess Inanna. Keeping the soles of your feet on the bed and your knees up, lower yourself onto your husband&amp;#039;s penis. Then bend your legs slightly to move up and down. &amp;quot;Most women find this position very satisfying, since they have so much control over the sexual movement,&amp;quot; explains St. Claire. And if your husband likes visuals during sex (and what man doesn&amp;#039;t?), this position will really give him an eyeful. &amp;quot;It looks so primal,&amp;quot; says Jason, 31. &amp;quot;And unlike with the missionary position, I can actually see myself enter her, which is a huge turn-on.&amp;quot; Another bonus, notes St. Claire: This angle gets his penis rubbing against your G spot, an extrasensitive area on the front wall of your vagina. If you like wearing sexy lingerie...Make it hotter by wearing it for the whole ride  To give him a full ogle&amp;#039;s worth of that Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret stunner, keep it on for as long as is humanly possible. &amp;quot;What a woman conceals is often more mysterious and provocative than what&amp;#039;s revealed,&amp;quot; points out St. Claire. Your husband&amp;#039;s hands, unfortunately, have been trained to quickly take things off. One way to keep the brakes on is to apply the look-but-don&amp;#039;t-touch rule of professional strippers. &amp;quot;One time I dressed in lingerie for my husband, and I gave him a striptease,&amp;quot; recounts Heather. &amp;quot;Every time he tried to touch me, I&amp;#039;d gently slap his hands away. I wasn&amp;#039;t just wearing lingerie; I was role-playing, which was a much sexier experience.&amp;quot;  Keeping your undies on can give your sex life a shot of mystery. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve seen my wife naked thousands of times. But when she wears lingerie, I can&amp;#039;t help wondering what&amp;#039;s underneath,&amp;quot; says Barry, 36. The best part: You don&amp;#039;t have to splurge on a whole new getup. Just try leaving your basic black thong on during the act and see how it flips his switch. If you like extra-lusty lovemaking...Make it hotter by trying an ancient erotic move   Want to send shock waves to body parts he didn&amp;#039;t know he had? Try the Spiral of Nines: Have him start with nine quick, shallow thrusts, then do one slow, deep thrust followed by eight shallow thrusts, then two deep ones followed by seven shallow ones, and so on until he reaches nine deep thrusts. Then repeat. &amp;quot;Mixing deep and shallow thrusts will stimulate two sets of nerves in your vagina: the touch-sensitive opening and the pressure-sensitive nerves deep within,&amp;quot; says Dunas. &amp;quot;And the shallow thrusts will stimulate the head of his penis, which has many more nerve endings than the shaft.&amp;quot; Plus, there&amp;#039;s an element of teasing that can be a turn-on. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s almost like foreplay in that it gives us time to work ourselves into a frenzy,&amp;quot; Annie says. &amp;quot;After my husband&amp;#039;s been shallow thrusting for a while, I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;Please, do me now!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; If you like lighting candles to set a steamy mood...Make it hotter by lighting candles -- and turning off the air conditioner   Keeping the A.C. off sets the stage, literally, for some really hot sex. &amp;quot;Sweating enhances the production of pheromones, chemicals designed by the body to attract and arouse the best mate,&amp;quot; says aromatherapist Duffy. &amp;quot;So amplifying your own unique scent through sweating will turn him on.&amp;quot;  And hey, no one can deny that sweat looks so darn hot, especially in ultra-erotic candlelight. &amp;quot;Sweat is inherently sexy, since it&amp;#039;s a subliminal reminder of sexual juices,&amp;quot; says St. Claire. Tanya, 30, agrees: &amp;quot;Sometimes when I see the sweat running down my husband&amp;#039;s chest and onto my body, I think, Wow, look at us go!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
