What Turns You On?
The Sensualist
You prefer the smell of his hair, the taste of his lips, and the feel of his skin to the act of sex. For you, the pleasure of lovemaking is how the experience fills your senses. "People high in sensuality are more interested in the process of sex than the end result," says Louis Janda, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. "They enjoy the simple pleasures of touching perhaps as much as the more intense orgasm."
Your best love props: Incense, silky scarves, soft pillows.
Good mood music: Enya or any New Age tunes.
Prime time for love: Dawn or dusk, when the light casts the most interesting shadows on your naked bodies.
How to get what you want from him: Be clear about your need for sensuality -- teach him how to set the stage for it, or do it yourself. "It's difficult to say, 'I want this and you're the one who has to figure it out,'" says Linda DeVillers, Ph.D., author of Love Skills. "If you?re more sensual, you have to create that environment."

RE: What Turns You On?
The Flirt
For you, the thrill is in the seduction, and the best foreplay is always in the head. You love the chase that leads up to sex -- and you love trading roles with him about who's the pursuer. You love knowing you can bring him to his knees more than you love actually bringing him to his knees. Problem is, you get bored too easily, in bed and out.
Your best love props: Wit and words -- sexual banter always gets you going.
Good mood music: Brazilian bossa nova.
Prime time for love: Office hours, when you're supposed to be working.
How to get what you want from him: Use your creativity to devise new, clever games of seduction. Keep him guessing -- and he'll never complain about playing a role in the scripts you direct.

The Naturalist
The natural beauty of the naked body is a big turn-on for you. You're comfortable with sex and proud of your body's capacity to give and receive pleasure. As long as it's natural, nothing embarrasses you about sex. But it wouldn't kill you to primp once in a while.
Your best love props: A sunset, a waterfall, anything outdoors.
Good mood music: Whale mating sounds.
Prime time for love: During a full moon or, better yet, a blue moon.
How to get what you want from him: It shouldn't be hard, once he understands just how much you delight in your earthiness. Let him know that there's no limit to where nature can take you, and that where love's concerned, no props are needed.
