What colour is the most sexually attractive?

Asked by Nicci Vallencia of Denver, Colorado

There is much behavioural science research showing the most popular skin colour, eye colour, or hair colour in terms of sexual attractiveness. But there is little on what is the most sexually attractive color per se. It is impossible to determine the most sexually attractive color due to the many confounding variables involved. Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences in the attribution of qualities of colour and behaviour. For example, "black" is associated with death in European countries. But "white" is associated with death in China and "purple" is associated with death in Brazil. As for sexual attractiveness, there is an enormous cultural component in this as well. Gender is another confounding variable. What might be perceived as a highly sexually attractive colour on a woman may not be perceived as such on a man. And what might be a highly sexually attractive colour to a woman may not be so to a man. Individuals associate particular colours with particular things in their lives. Thus, any colour could be "the most sexually attractive" to a particular individual. There and other confounding variables too. Nevertheless, drawing upon various studies from the fields of colour psychology and color therapy (chromotherapy), a not-too-scientific ranking of "more" or "less" sexually attractive colors could be constructed from the list below of colors and there supposed attributes.

Black: Sophistication, elegance, seduction, mystery, sex, banishment, binding, protection, evil

Blue: Trust, reliability, belonging, coolness, tranquility, peace, calm, wisdom, justice, depression, understanding, patience, loyalty, sincerity, honour

Brown: Earthy, conservative, protective, constructive, hard-working, solid

Copper/Bronze: Love, passion, friendship, sex

Gold: Prestige, expensive, elite, authority

Green: Nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundance, rejuvenation, recovery, healing, harmony, balance, peace, hope, jealousy, envy

Grey: Neutrality, staleness, depression

Magenta: power, magnetism, spiritual power

Orange: Playfulness, warmth, vibrant, encouragement, luck, kindness, stimulation, optimism, abundance, success, independence, sensual

Purple: Royal, spirituality, dignity, divination, inspiration, meditation, compassion

Red: Passion, energy, excitement, danger, speed, impulsive action, stimulation, assertiveness, aggression, strength, sex, revolt, war

Silver: Prestige, cold, scientific, stability

Turquoise: Intuitive, insightful, inventive, original, renewal, change

White: Pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild, peace, truthfulness, enlightenment

Yellow: Warmth, cheer, happiness, vitality, change, progress, clarity, communicativeness, affirmation.

How do you move your lips when kissing a guy?

First, keep your lips soft and slightly opened, in a gently inviting and receptive way. Don't press them together tightly, but also avoid opening them too wide. Drooling and too much saliva is almost always a turn-off for men and women. On the other hand, some women and men like steamy, sloppy, wet kissing.

Kissing Communication

Probably one of the best tips for kissing out there is communication. Everyone kisses differently, and everyone likes different things. So don’t forget to communicate with your man regarding all things kissing-related. This may be somewhat awkward, especially in the beginning of your relationship. But just like sex, if you don’t talk about it, you’ll never know what he likes, what he doesn’t like, what you are doing right, what you are doing wrong, and how you can improve your kissing technique. And don’t be afraid to tell him what you like and dislike about the art of kissing. No one is the perfect kisser, and he should be receptive to your feedback and suggestions. If he’s not, then maybe it is time to move on and find someone else to kiss! Remember that while these are certainly helpful and useful kissing tips, they are not kissing rules—just guidelines. There really is no such thing as one perfect kiss that every couple must conquer. Each woman, man, and couple will define their perfect kiss differently and that can change and also come in many forms. Never feel like you have to do something you don’t want to, whether it makes you uncomfortable or you just don’t enjoy it. Most importantly, have fun! While there is some effort involved in perfecting your kissing skills, it should mostly be an enjoyable activity for both of you. See this related article: Top Tips for Kissable Lips.
