A bit bored today.
So my user name says it all.
What dose your partner or husband do that you find really sexy but its just normal.
But they dont know its a turn on.

Mine is when he dose his belt up or un-dose it or just leaves it undone while he gets ready for the day i dont know why but yeah its a thing.

When he uses his drill. I haven't told him or he'd constantly be drilling things.

Ooo er missus😂

My Dh is a baby whisperer. He loves all babies and small children and they love him. He can settle any fractious child and have it asleep on his chest in no time. Very appealing!

I work in a related field to dh and we have quite an unusual surname. Whenever I meet new people in work they always say ' oh are you related to Mr Sparkly he's so great'. I tease him about it but secretly love that he's so well thought of in our industry. I've also heard it from people who don't know my name or our relationship so I know they're not just being polite!

On a more basic level - that he deals with vomit, poo, wee and snot etc whether from children, pets or elderly relatives with dementia 😢without turning a hair.

Samandytimlucypeterolivia · 08/03/2025 22:37

Kisses the side of my head every morning before he goes to work, it’s few and far between as we leave roughly the same time most;y now, so just a normal kiss, but I used to love when he did it before when working at his old job;

When my DS gets married I will subtly ask my DIL if it was seeing my tall , scruffy son with his guitar slung across his back that caught her interest .

Motorbike gear / motorbiking
Arm round back of passenger seat when reversing the car
Wearing running gear

Is this only a man thing? I never put my arm around the back of the passenger seat when reversing, and I don’t know any woman who does. Why would you?

Iwannakeepondancing · 08/03/2025 22:41

When he has no shirt on and just jeans but they’re undone so I can just see the beginning of his pubic hair…

When he has no socks on and skinny jeans… I love an ankle for some reason!

When I hear him on a work call and he sounds intelligent!

CinnamonJellyBeans · 08/03/2025 22:46

Fixing things and being clever.

RaininSummer · 08/03/2025 22:49

I love seeing a capable man up a ladder doing some useful things with tools. Even better if wearing nice jeans not baggy old joggers.

SplitEndHunter · 08/03/2025 22:50

This will sound bizarre. But when we are playing tennis, and he gets a ball out of his shorts pocket. I don’t know why. I love his forearms and hands, so maybe that’s why.

Thisshirtisonfire · 08/03/2025 22:52

When he does stupid teenage boy physical antics like for example recently he climbed over a really tall fence to get into an old cave when we were out hiking.
Obviously I was saying "stop that it's so dangerous you are 53 years old!! Come back"
But secretly inside i was turned on.
And when he's really enjoying himself like his teams won the football or someone's said something funny and he sort of smiles to himself.

Is this a euphemism?! 🤔

40andprettybored · 08/03/2025 22:52

Says things like "don't speak like that to your mother!"

When he cleans the house.

CarolinaWren · 08/03/2025 22:56

Cleans and takes care of household chores without being asked. Is very kind and nurturing towards children and animals.

Datgal · 08/03/2025 22:57

Now I get this will be just me, but when he's getting ready to cycle... putting his gear on. Looking sexy in lycra and his helmet and sunglasses. Its his legs I think... very nice legs 😋☺️

romany4 · 08/03/2025 22:59

I totally agree with the forearms with rolled up sleeves. DH has lovely tattooed forearms. When he's driving in the summer and i look over and see his arms....
Also when he leaves a couple of buttons undone on his shirt so I can just see the v of his dark chest hair. Ooft!

Wendolino · 08/03/2025 23:06

He's so kind and considerate and very, very polite.

TheJinxMinx · 08/03/2025 23:08

When he wears his glasses which he rarely does or when he undoes or two buttons on his shirt and I can just see a bit of chest hair. Both of these.. sometimes all he has to do is look at me 😂🤣 he knows about them all I can't hide it except for the glasses he doesn't wear them enough so hasn't clocked on

gillefc82 · 08/03/2025 23:08

Two very different scenarios:

  1. When he wears a well cut, tailored suit. DH works in a largely manual job and spends most of his downtime in gym gear. So the rare occasions when he dons a crisp white shirt and a well tailored suit, especially suit pants that showcase his firm, juicy, tight, muscular arse……..mmmmmm!

  2. When he is soft and soppy and snuggles up with our doggies, especially our eldest girl Fiona who’s a 9 year old rescue. Seeing him able to be so loving in a way that’s vulnerable and authentic means I respect him on a totally different level and that is soooo f*ing hot!

BaublesAndGlitter · 08/03/2025 23:11

His absolute calmness in situations that would make me stressed or panic.

Cooking Christmas dinner for 16 people - he was singing and stirring stuff while happily chatting away to guests and making sure everyone was topped up.

When we go abroad he drives on the other side of the road, no mistakes, no worry.

We were away and got caught driving somewhere in a blizzard once. Couldn't see a thing. He was so calm as he got us off the road and somewhere safe to wait it out.

I think it's the calm, take charge but do it with a smile attitude that does it.

Halloumiheaven · 08/03/2025 23:14

Yeh, I agree with the driving thing. All palm only on the wheel whilst turning it, the hand on the back of your seat as he reverses, sleeves rolled up in a shirt...

Me and my friends used to have the 'sexy driver' test for new dates many moons ago.

Blingismything · 08/03/2025 23:19

Makes a great cuppa

Franjipanl8r · 08/03/2025 23:25

When they put their left arm on the back of the passenger seat when reversing- don't know why..

Can any of you reverse like that? I have to keep both hands on the steering wheel. And how come men do this? Can't they turn their heads far enough without needing to use an arm to help?

Biffsboys · 08/03/2025 23:32

DH has amazing forearms
When he calls the dog ( who wasn’t meant to be allowed on sofa) princess
The sound when he hits a golf ball is incredibly sexy !!
