Simple things that turn you on

I could’ve sworn I saw a thread like this but can’t find it now. NC to protect the guilty (me!).

I’m early 40s and had a hysterectomy after a traumatic birth late last year. Hormones all over the place and sub-zero interest in sex since. Given my age and everything that happened I thought that part of me was quietly retiring.

But the other night we were driving home in the dark, DP at the wheel, sleeves pushed up so I could see his forearms, fresh haircut, calm focus, motorway lights flickering across his face… and suddenly BAM! Libido resurrected. Something about those exposed forearms, or his calm focus. I don’t know, but it did something!

If we hadn’t been on the road, I’d have climbed across the gearstick there and then 😅

Been a horny mess since. I’ve also taken to conspicuously peeking when he does press ups, never been so envious of a floor before 🥵

I’m sure it’ll pass soon, but in the meantime I’m enjoying the feeling while it lasts.

What are your simple/unexpected turn-ons? (Yes, I’m looking for ideas 😂)

Ah yes - the stuff trashy novels should be based on.

CalmShaker had the kind of willpower that could make saints weep and sinners repent. In the glow of the supermarket aisle, she ran her fingers along the smooth glass of a jar, feeling the faint click of temptation beneath her touch. One twist - just one - and she could have it. But no. Not here. Not yet.

At the checkout, she moved with deliberate grace, sliding her shopping onto the belt like a slow, teasing dance. The cashier watched, spellbound, as CalmShaker’s lips formed a dangerous little smile. Her hand hovered over the lid of a jar, pausing — and then, with a slow wink that could weaken titanium, she let it pass untouched.

At home, CalmShaker unpacked her shopping with the same deliberate patience that had driven the cashier wild. The kitchen was quiet, save for the rustle of CalmShaker's bags for life and the low hum of her fridge. Her fingers brushed the cool glass of the jar again. Alone now, no fluorescent lights, no watchful eyes - just her and the gleam of the lid. She turned it slowly, savoring the moment, her breath catching as the metal gave a soft, satisfying pop. It was more than a sound. It was release — a reward earned through restraint.

(I admit, Iit is possible I might currently have too much time on my hands.)
