Touching yourself
Women have a much larger number of nerve sensors than men, making them
more sensitive to touching sensations. Women leisurely stroke their necks,
throats, and thighs signalling to a man that if he plays his cards right she just
may let him caress her in a similar way. By touching herself a woman can
fantasise about how it would feel if the man she fancies were the one doing
the touching.Touching yourself draws attention to that part of your body and gets another
person thinking about what it would feel like to be the person touching you.
Often you’re not aware that you’re touching or stroking yourself. The gesture
is an unconscious action in response to your interest in the other person.
Women who areaware of the effect this behaviour elicits become adept at
performing self-touching actions to call attention to themselves.Exposing your wrists
The underside of the wrist is considered to be one of the most erotic places
on a woman’s body. This is probably because the skin there is highly delicate.
A woman showing interest and availability reveals this smooth, soft skin,
increasing the rate of frequency as her interest grows (see Figure 13-3).Figure 13-3:
