Article Summary

X

To make your man happy emotionally and sexually in your relationship, remember to be attentive to his needs and ready to try new things. For example, learn your man’s moods so that when he’s brooding you know to leave him alone, but when he’s upset and wants to be comforted you’re there for him. In addition to knowing your man’s emotional needs, encourage him by giving him sincere compliments, like "I know you'll ace your test" or "You'll do great at your interview." When it comes to his sexual satisfaction, learn what kinds of touches turn him on, like a kiss on the neck, a nibble on his ear, or a hand on the small of his back. Another way to make your man happy is to be more adventurous, such as trying new positions or making out in new places, like the movie theater or car. To learn how to give your man enough space to keep him happy, keep reading!
