Cultivate a Sexy Body

Cultivate a Sexy Body

This doesn't mean a size 6 body. (And it doesn't mean baring your size 6 body if you do have one). It does mean you should think of yourself as a sexy person. It's catching. There are things you can do to make any body sexier:

• Stay Fit: Work out. It feels good. It reminds you what your body can do. Staying fit means having a body that you're at peace with and proud of. And a body whose faults you don't point out to your spouse. If you keep telling him you're fat, he'll eventually believe you.

   

• Pamper Your Hands: Look at your hands. Are these the hands you think men picture in their fantasies of being rubbed down on the balcony of a Parisian chalet? Or are these the hands of the maid who comes in the next morning to pick up the trail of clothes? Fantasywoman has fun with her hands. She doesn't bite her nails, she wears nail polish. On her hands and her feet. Next time you polish your nails, watch how differently you automatically start moving your hands and feet. It's grace in a little red bottle.

   

• Take Care of Your Skin: Take a tip from steamy shower commercials: exfoliate. Soft skin feels sexy. Buy those scratchy bath gloves and a bottle of body wash. Pay particular attention to your derriere. It's got little bumps all over it. Sorry, babe. Nobody ever had the heart to tell you. After every bath, moisturize yourself to dewy perfection. On nights when you're sleeping alone, slather petroleum jelly or Neosporin (tm) over your feet and hands and cover with socks.
