1. Sara, 24

After months of waiting and flirting and buildup, he said “I’ve been wanting this for so long.”

2. Cate, 27

Any variation of “I can’t handle myself around you” or “You have no idea how crazy you make me.”

3. Caroline, 28

“Put that book down right now or I’m going to have to take it from you.”

4. Kitty, 21

“You crave me.”

5. Lindsey, 23

He told me he loved my natural, super curly hair because it was beautiful and sexy. Made me feel comfortable and desirable being myself. Less mature but still sexy, he said “Your butt looks delicious in those pants!”

6. Ellie, 21

I met a man on the top of the Eiffel Tower on New Year’s Eve this year and we got to talking, we ending up leaving each other after we got contact info for each other so we could meet up again before midnight. He never came to find me, and when I asked him what happened he gave me the story and finished by saying, “I spent the last moments of 2013 looking for you under the Eiffel Tower. I wish I never would have left you.”

7. Ham, 22

“You have perfect boobs.”

8. Naima, 22

“I want to cum inside you.” Simple, to the point, amazing.

9. Julie, 23

It probably sounds weird but to me the sexiest thing ever has been when my boyfriend — he’s really tall and big and I’m really small — holds my head to his chest after sex and tells me “Shhhhh.” I feel so tiny and cared for and turned on at the same time!

10. Lily, 30

“You’re so wet.”

11. Alex, 24

“Can you tell how much I want you?” (We were sitting in a restaurant at this point, and he had been looking out my mouth over and over again.)

12. Sasha, 31

When they tell me they jerk off to me. I know it’s dirty, but there is something about it that makes me feel so powerful and desired.

13. Elia, 21

When he was out hanging with his friends he texted me about an hour into it and said “I need to come see you. Can I come over?” and I was worried that something was wrong, so I said, “Is everything okay?” and he said “I need to be inside of you.” Something about the fact that he was with his friends made it that much hotter. I knew he wanted to be there, but he couldn’t help himself.

14. Akilah, 30

“I’ve been thinking about you all day.” (This doesn’t sound like much I know, but it was in the very first stages of our relationship where I wasn’t sure if he was into me yet or not. It was very hot.)

15. Lindsay, 27

At a dinner party with friends, he whispered, “Go into the bathroom and take your panties off.”

16. Claire, 25

“You’re so fucking smart. It’s so hot.”

17. Tess, 28

When he puts his hand on the small of my back and pulls me toward him in public, and just really quietly he says “Come here.” For some reason I find it to be the sexiest thing ever.

18. Cara, 22

“I love the way you taste.”

19. Hailie, 20

When I’m making too much noise in bed, he’ll tell me to shut up. I love it.

20. Victoria, 32

I had been with my ex for about two years, but we broke up because of distance and being in different places in our lives and blah blah. But we ended up running into each other about seven months later and it was clear that we both still had feelings for each other, and we both still wanted each other. We made small talk for a bit, but then he came very close to me and said, “I can’t do this. I need you.”

21. Clementine, 23

When we’re in public, he’ll let me know that he’s thinking of something very dirty by saying “I think it might rain today.” It’s silly, and sometimes it looks very strange (like if it’s really sunny), but I love it.

22. Jenna, 25

“I’m kind of enamored by how intelligent you are.”

23. Andrea, 29

“Look at me.”

24. Hannah, 27

He kissed my collarbone and says, “I love this part of you.”

25. Julia, 22

“I can’t believe I get to touch you tonight.”

26. Rachel, 22

“Can I go down on you? Please?”

27. Vera, 29

I absolutely melt when he says, in that really low tone of voice, “Good girl.” Sometimes he even says it in public and it is the most unbelievably hot thing ever.

28. Grace, 30

The first time I went out with my boyfriend we had this immediate connection and we just talked for five hours straight in the back of this restaurant, ordering more and more stuff. And he says, “I think this place is going to close. Can I get you a drink somewhere? I need to keep talking to you.”

29. Allison, 24

“You don’t touch your wallet when you’re out with me.” (I know, I know, I’m a bad feminist. And I do insist on paying sometimes! But it was just so sexy and in-charge.)

30. Katie, 26

“Do you know how beautiful you are?”

31. Lisa, 28

“Open your mouth.”

32. Jada, 28

My boyfriend is this really big, tough guy, and sometimes when we’re out he’ll whisper in my ear, “I need you tonight, okay?” I absolutely crumble inside. I love it so much.
