In case you hadn’t heard it’s cuffing season – a time when the cold weather makes us want to settle down with someone.
So if you’re on the hunt for a new lover to keep you warm during these long winter nights, you might want to work on your powers of attraction.
We spoke to We-Vibe’s relationship expert Dr Becky Spelman to find out the best ways to snare the opposite sex.
It’s important to remember that good looks aren’t the be all and end all of a successful love match.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Star Online, Becky said: “Appearance certainly matters when it comes to attraction.”But that doesn’t mean that someone has to be classically beautiful or handsome to be found attractive.
“It’s a truism to point out that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there’s a lot of reality there.”
As mysterious as it may be, there are some ways to that you can increase your odds of appearing desirable.
Becky said: “Sometimes attraction can grow, but most of us, if we are going to be attracted to someone, feel the sense of attraction straight away.
“Attraction is an instinctive response, which we often struggle to explain on a rational level.
“Some researchers even believe that smell plays an important role in attraction, although we may not even be conscious of it.”

The top three ways to boost your sex appeal:
1. Be the best version of you that you can be
Take care of your health, invest a little time and effort in your grooming, and be confident about yourself.
Confidence is a very attractive quality in and of itself.
2. Be prepared to listen
Women and men alike really appreciate it when someone seems to be interested in them.
Don’t just seem to be interested in someone you find attractive, though – if you genuinely listen to them, you will be able to engage with them completely.
3. Be open and honest
OK, don’t air all your dirty laundry early in the relationship, but be true to who you are.
Nobody likes someone who presents themselves in a false light.
