Overview Many suggestions on the topic of pleasing a man are geared toward improving performance in bed. There's nothing wrong with bringing new things into the bedroom, but there are other rooms in a house that hold their own kind of pleasures for men. Women who make an effort to determine what brings a smile to their man's face may be surprised to learn that men enjoy intimacy on other levels, just as women do. Understanding this dynamic is helpful when trying to determine how to please your man without sex. 1. React to his suggestions in a positive way. Discuss things that may improve his ideas and increase the chances of them succeeding. View this type of interaction as another form of intimacy. 2. Call him during the day and ask what he'd prefer for dinner. If he's not sure at that moment, suggest he should have some time to think about it and call back. This brings delight in the freedom of choice. Prepare that meal or dish in a way that might rival the best restaurants. 3. Engage in social activities that include both of you, such as window shopping or playing board games with neighbors and friends. Appreciate his sense of humor in social situations. Many men find it pleasing when they bring a smile to another person's face. 4. Bring him a refreshment or a snack while he's in the workshop or garage. Express an interest in his approach to crafting things or fixing something around the house. Being supportive of his male-oriented activities can make a man feel appreciated. 5. Buy him something new to wear, such as a shirt that flatters his physique or a hat he may enjoy wearing with his friends. Select a CD album or DVD that you know he'll enjoy. Express an interest in the performance of his favorite sports teams and encourage him to talk about them with you. Tips and warnings * Listen to the suggestions in his conversation. Ask about his friends and family. Use your instincts to determine other things that please him.
