Men make terrible gift givers don’t they? After all, it’s always the woman in any family that takes care of the gift buying duties for the family.

Well, maybe and maybe not. I think it’s a bit like cooking. Cooking is mostly done by women. But there’s some men who cook brilliantly. I cook.

And some of the worlds best chefs are men.

“Men make terrible gift givers” is a stereotype, but like most stereotypes, there’s some truth in it.

But there’s still many men who are wonderful gift givers.

I just found a wonderful article about men as gift givers. It plays on the stereotype, but as I say, there’s always some truth in it.

Here’s an excerpt:“When it comes to giving presents, most men are not gifted. They’re hardwired to bring home the bacon, not a silk nightie.

Men are more like cats that bring you a dead bird and drop it on the kitchen floor for you to admire.”

The article is called The Art Of Giving and is from The Australian, a newspaper from Australia obviously. It’s well worth a read, just for a laugh at men.

There’s lots of great ideas for sexy mens gifts.

However before you jump on the net and start looking at some of the thousands of sites featuring sexy gifts and other titillating stuff, you need to get your ducks in a row. Work out the answers to a few questions.

Perhaps there’s some things you’d like to try and it’s not easy asking, so why not suggest them discreetly some other way?

What is it you trying to achieve by giving him a sexy gift?

What sort of person is he? Is he the sort that will take a sexy gift in the right spirit? Will he interpret it the way you want him to? Is a sexy gift for him likely to be a success?

And what sort of person are you? You’re going to be intimately involved in the gift yourself. Sexy is a 2 way thing, and you’re not going to be disengaged from the gift. So how involved do you want to be?

How sexy are you going to be for him once he’s been given the gift and feels – sexy?

These things, and more, determine what sort of gift you’re going to be considering. And you need to give some thought to all of this and more if you’re going to maximise the chances of success of selecting and giving him a great sexy gift.

“Sexy” encompasses a huge range of meaning, from mildly flirtacous to downright hot and horny. And you need to decide where along that continuum you want to be with your gift. Wherever you want to be there is a whole range of choices for you to make, but decide first where it is you want to be.
