Ask the madame: Two days of foreplay does the trick

Published

As your man gets older and his performance isn’t as sure a thing as it once was, remember that your seduction needs a certain amount of foreplay. Let him know ahead of time that you have “something” planned. Begin on Wednesday coyly hinting that you hope he’s feeling good on Friday, because … and don’t say anything else. Thursday feed him a high-carbo meal because he’ll “need his strength for tomorrow.” Friday morning give him a little note, reminding him he has to be home by seven p.m. You’ll have that little brain of his working overtime to figure out what you’re up to!
