Women are complicated, but worth the effort. A lot like rugby union football. And like rugger, you need to go through the phases if you're hoping to score...

Sex! After many a withering, post-coital look, FHM has come to realise that man's favourite physical activity might require more than an energetic scrum and a congratulatory slap on the butt once you've scored in the corner. But approaching sex like rugby can help explain the mysterious naked game of the wobbly bits. And no, not because there's a lot of sweating and grunting ­ because of her phases ...

How to plan the perfect day of Valentine's romance... and reap the rewards in the bedroom!

Valentine's Day... We girls know it's not about real love. It's a commercial machine that provides rose growers with their annual bonus. But, bizarrely, we just can't stop ourselves falling for it. It's the one day of the year when we can quite rightfully demand obscenely romantic behaviour from you men.

We see through the whole Valentine's Day spiel, but we turn a blind eye. Be warned. If you think you can get away with not doing ...

The only commitment you’re ready for is your pre-order of Gran Turismo 4, but you’re dying for some real action, like a one-night stand! Here are some tips on how to get one – by a lady who’s had a whole lot!

It’s been one hard week, literally. You’re frustrated, horny and your right forearm is as big as a Russian weightlifter’s. You’re in the mood for an uncomplicated shag, without all that polite smiling and nodding as the babe you’ve just bought a drink blabs about her (yawn) thrilling administrative job – while ...

First base, second base, third base... It’s not all about home runs! There are a host of sexual activities every bit as much fun as full-on penetration. FHM’s sex guru Michelle shares the joys of sex play…

The problem with a word like “foreplay” is that it implies all the good things it represents are just a prelude. It says all that delicious kissing, stroking, licking and sucking are just the introduction and that it’s the thrusting, penetrating boudestamp that constitutes the main event.

But those activities are just as much fun, and sometimes even better than ...

Complete user's guide? Hardly... We'd need two volumes just to explore that whole cats-as-surrogate-babies thing properly. But a quick, saucy investigation into the stuff that really gets her going? You got it!

Brain
 - According to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, when men listen, they only use the left half of their brain (right half: busy remembering that Paris Hilton fanny flash that made the tabloids). Women catalogue activity on both sides, thus proving that their freakish brains are capable of listening to two conversations at once.

 -During orgasm, the brain releases sex hormones into the ...

“Sex? The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable.” So huffed 18th Century Brit politician Lord Chesterfield from under his powdered wig, while covering his nose with a silk hanky. One can only imagine that esteemed Whig is now turning in his grave, as the civilised world descends into a writhing mass of promiscuity and experimentation. And at the forefront of this sexual revolution sits the holy grail of sexual fantasy: the legendary threesome. In our November 2008 issue, FHM’s Justin Quirk set off on a courageous adventure…

Threesomes are unavoidable. A whole episode of Channel ...

No Ferrari? Face unworthy of radio even? Only ever get fan mail from your medical aid? Never fear; you could still hook an FHM cover babe. Here's how...

FIRST CONTACT
The time: always fashionably late.

The place: any smokin' hot nightclub. Meeting a babe of pants-tearing hotness can be a moment of sheer terror. What to do? What to say? What to... Oh, never mind ­ she's leaving on the arm of that doos who nosed his Ferrari into the last parking spot ahead of you. Apart from a car that'd cost you approximately two decades' worth of ...

In January 2010 FHM was in the throes of celebrating our tenth birthday. And what better way to do so than letting FHM’s smouldering sex advisor lay down the ten sacred laws to obey at all times! Follow Coralie’s sacred guidelines, and your blessed sex life shall thrive!

1 Thou shalt have no other babe but me!

Galileo may have proved the earth travels around the sun, but we still need to believe we’re the centre of your universe. So that means “eyes front, soldier” when we’re out with you. When I am with you, don ...

Make your woman melt using mere words – with FHM’s nine golden rules to seductive speaking!

 “For women, the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.” So says novelist-that-your-mom-pretends-to-like Isabel Allende. Unfortunately, she’s got a good point. A 2004 paper in Nature magazine monitored human brain activity and found that the male sexual response was all about visual stimuli. But women? Far more likely to be switched on by aural action. And yet this is where you step into the minefield. Barking XXX filth in ...

In the FHM July 2008 issue we begged you to pay attention as this isn't the sort of advice you’re not going to find in any dictionary…

A
Anal: Or in golfing terms, the back nine. Sometimes not as heartily embraced by real girls as it is by the ones in |Buttbusters 15 – Booty Knights.
Automation: Ladies love the AutoMan 3000 – and they don’t necessarily have to fly solo. Offer to steer! The only downside is the price of batteries.

B
Baby batter: Yours could be more dangerous than you think – it travels as fast as an ...
