Do you know what it takes to please a man in bed? Their needs are simple -- and once you master the basics, you'll delight your lover always.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: an evening -- or a lifetime

Here's How:

1.   Perform oral sex. For the majority of men, nothing is as satisfying as the intensity of pleasure they experience during fellatio.

2.   Take responsibility for your own orgasm. He's happiest in bed when he knows you enjoy sex as much as he does. So learn about your body and know what it takes to turn you on.

3.   Communicate your desire. He won't know what feels good and what you love in bed unless you communicate. So tell -- or better yet -- show him.

4.   Let him see you nude. Men are turned on by the visual, so don't be bashful. Make love with the lights on, and remember that women tend to be far more critical about their bodies than men are.

5.   Discover his erogenous zones. His penis isn't the only part of his body that experiences pleasure. Learn if he likes to have his nipples, scrotum, earlobes, feet, or other parts of his body touched.

6.   Be inventive and experimental. Don't be afraid to try something new in bed -- a new position, tantric sex, mutual masturbation. You may end up adding something great to your regular bedroom repertoire.

7.   Follow his lead. If he kisses you in a special place or touches you a certain way, try doing the same back to him. Also get him to show you how he masturbates -- and learn to do it for him just the way he likes.

8.   Don't forget the sexy lingerie. Even girls who sleep in T-shirts will find wearing something red-hot once in a while is a guaranteed man-pleaser. Especially when combined with a slow striptease.

9.   Share fantasies. Tell him yours, and invite him to share his with you. Take the fantasies to the next level and act them out if you're both comfortable doing that.

10.   Let him know how turned on you are. Talk dirty to heighten his excitement and yours.

Tips:

1. Don't criticize him in bed. He's at his most vulnerable there, and words that are harsh or cavalier may be long remembered. If you do have a sex problem, address it when you're not in an intimate setting.
2. Let him know he's the best ever. That's one reason you married him, isn't it?
