1. Wear comfortable underwear..
“I only wear granny panties,” said Julia Baylis, 22, part of a new generation of women saying no to the
thong. Mayan Toledano, 27, added: “What’s sexy for us is being natural and comfortable.”

2. Drink coffee.

3. Stare into the eyes of someone you love (or want to love) for exactly four minutes.
Not two. Not three. Four. “Two minutes is just enough to be terrified,” said Mandy Len Catron, the author of a Modern Love column on the exercise. “Four really goes somewhere.”

One, I have ADHD so there isn't much I can do for 4 min straight without fidgeting and two - that is just too creepy. I mean sure make eye contact when having a conversation but to just stare into their eyes?

Someone stares into my eyes for more than a minute, I would have to call on Skittles to schedule an ass kicking.

“Four really goes somewhere” says author Mandy Len Catron.

Four got me tazered, handcuffed and a no contact order.
