Curious here of what people do to set the mood. I don't get to ask many of my friends this kind of thing. So, tell, in detail if you'd like what you do to get things going!

Personally, I like soft light, maybe a lamp with a colored fabric over it to set a nice mood, and some candles. Satin sheets are a plus.

My boy is coming home from Iraq soon and I'm looking for more ideas less

I don't ever set the "mood", my partner normally does it. But being a guy I know what I like. My advice is more pre-"mood".

I LOVE when my partner dresses sexy/skimpy ie lingerie, or something that shows off her body/curves. I absolutely go crazy when she is just doing normal things like watching T.V. or working in the kitchen while wearing lingerie. It makes me extremely horny before sex because its like a Christmas present on Christmas eve, you see it and you want it but you cant have it. Its very teasing to me. Every mans different though.

Bwahahaaaa! Direct and to the point, Blinker!

I usually start when he gets home from work, I "accidentally" bump into him, brush up against him in tight spaces (or often when there is plenty of room) make eye contact and then walk away, touch his face a lot, kiss him spontaneously. Then sometimes, after a bath or even quick shower, put on a sexy nightgown or baby doll, maybe even some stockings and a garter belt, (Or toss the cuffs and tether on the bed, if I'm REALLY in a naughty mood.) light some candles and spritz my perfume all over the bedroom and all over the bed and pillows. He still doesn't get that I do this. He'll often walk into the room, if I'm rushed for time and have only had time to spritz the bed and say something like, "It reminds me of you in here, MMMMM. Wanna do it?" Men are funny.

Often, though, it is just spontaneous, (more often than not) but I DO enjoy lighting the candles, dressing pretty, getting ready. It really gets my motor running to be doing this stuff, knowing we'll have a really good time very soon. less

Strangely enough, it's my partner that sets the mood. LOL Normally it's the girl that does!

Anyway, he usually will light scented candles and turn off the lights. Sometimes he'll use our rope lights to add ambient lighting if we want/need more than candle light.

If I'm the one doing it, sometimes I'll just grab him by the scruff of the shirt and drag him to the bedroom. Other times I'll put on some lingerie and walk around in it, so he can see me.

A third thing that sort of sets the mood for both of us is erotic photography. We both enjoy he, he being the photographer, me being the photographee. So sometimes if we take some shots that'll get the juices flowing too.

Ooh I need to get some rope lights or something. Mike likes to leave the lights on but I hate to have blinding light in my eyes. Maybe we need some mood lighting or something, and since we can't use candles much because the "flickering" gets to him, maybe some rope lights would work nicely less
