This Is The Number One Turn-On For Married Couples

People can find very unusual ways of being "turned-on" and this one will come as a surprise to some folks but for married couples, perhaps the surprise isn't such a big one. You would think that it would be something a little more romantic like giving flowers and chocolates or buying a nice gift. Those are all nice gestures, but not the big turn-on that can be done for free.

This big turn-on might require gloves and lots of soapy water and paper towel and sponges. No it's far from kinky, so you can forget all that, it is in fact very clean. Like as clean as you can get. The answer?

Cleaning up. Yup, it turns out that cleaning up is a big turn-on for married couples.

The secret is out.  How many times have you gone directly from scrubbing the toilet . . . to one of the HOTTEST love-making sessions?

In a new survey of American adults, 69% say seeing their partner CLEANING is a big turn-on.

They didn't ask what type of cleaning . . . but it seems like it's general home cleaning, like mopping the kitchen floors, vacuuming, dusting, putting things away, and scrubbing the bathroom.

Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to say they'd rather receive "the gift of a clean house" than something expensive, like jewelry or electronics.

And among women, twice as many say they prefer "the smell of a clean home" over the smell of fresh flowers.

Overall, 67% of people say a "clean, fresh-smelling home" would make them more likely to "get fresh with a partner."  And 79% say the cleanliness of someone's home affects how they view them as a person. 

I suppose we shouldn't be that surprised about this because the opposite of cleaning up would be a messy house and nobody thinks that is a turn on.

So grab some soap and mops and sponges and start cleaning up, you might get a nice reward at the end of the day!

Dating is nothing like it was a few decades ago. Heck, dating isn't anything like it was even just a few years ago, with all the different dating apps and online ways to find love. But, one thing hasn't changed: People still want to be appealing. They want to put their best foot forward in the dating world. So, what are some ways to be more attractive and appealing when you're on a date?

Actually, this list works even if you're not looking to date or are already are in a long-term relationship. Why not be as attractive as possible just for yourself? I'm not just talking about the physical, either. There's so much more to being an appealing person than looks alone. Dictionary.com has some definitions of attractive that show the broadness of this term. They say the word means "providing pleasure or delight, especially in appearance or manner" and add that words such as "pleasing, charming and alluring" all apply. They also use the word in the context of having "an attractive personality" or "arousing interest or engaging one's thought" and "consideration."

Of course, not all definitions are so broad. Some do come down to appearance and vanity. Vocabulary.com defines it as, "Anybody or anything that's attractive is visually pleasing or draws you in." They add that it also has to deal with attracting others, of course, and that, "for people, being attractive usually means you're beautiful or handsome enough to pull in the attention of others."

That said, in this list, I'm really focusing on ways to be an all-around attractive person. This is largely not a list about how to be physically prettier or more handsome. Sure, some of these tips are physical. But, for the most part, these are ways to be instantly attractive in the dating game and a more appealing person overall.

This one might seem odd. If you're trying to attract someone, why would you try to focus on them? But, it works. People like to feeling like the person their with is actually interested in them. It helps you actually be an attractive person if it isn't always about you and if you focus on your partner, date or friend.

Sure, you want to look good on your date. But, if you're wearing heels that are too high or pants that look cool but just don't fit, you might be uncomfortable, and that will make the other person uncomfortable. "The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in your body language and your date will be able to tell," says Houseofcoco.net.

Everyone always talks about confidence being attractive, and they're not wrong. Being confident in yourself is a very attractive quality. You don't need to be an egomaniac or anything, though. No bragging fests on a first date. Just, be confident in who you are and in the spectacular, rock star of a person that God created you to be.

This goes along with confidence. Just be you, because nobody else can be you. "As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing you can do on a date is to look and act like your authentic self," notes Southerntide.com.

This is a tricky one. I'm not a big fan of perfume. But, it's good to smell nice on a date. That said, do not - I repeat, to not - overdue it. There's really no bigger turnoff than someone who smells like they just took a dive into a pool of really strong perfume or cologne. Less is more.

Show off those pearly whites! Something as simple as smiling can make you instantly appear attractive, because it implies that you're happy on both the outside and inside. No RBF, please. Smiling is contiguous, too, in the best possible way.

Your mom was right when she told you to sit up straight. "Slouching makes you look unconfident and bored, neither of which are attractive qualities," notes Houseofcoco.net. "Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are back. It will make you look more confident and alert, two qualities that are sure to impress your date."

Dating and socializing is supposed to be fun. Humans were meant to be together in a community, and that's a good thing. So, just have fun on your date. Be playful. Laugh. Flirt. Wink. Okay, maybe don't wink. That's creepy. But, you can send a wink emoji. Simply have fun.
