Men reveal what makes a woman 'good in bed'

Men have openly shared their views on what truly defines a woman as "good in bed," revealing that the qualities extend far beyond mere technical skill or experience. The consensus among several men interviewed for Cosmopolitan points to a combination of enthusiasm, genuine connection, and open communication as paramount.

Enthusiasm is key. Although I would add that good oral skills are always a huge bonus. Also that they are adventurous with their sexuality, meaning they can openly talk to them about their desires and fantasies, so that both feel safe and accepted. But the key thing is enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm emerged as a critical element, with many emphasizing a partner's active desire and adventurousness in exploring sexuality. This eagerness, coupled with strong chemistry and a feeling of being desired, creates a more passionate and fulfilling experience for men. The ability for a woman to express her desires and make her partner feel attractive significantly enhances the sexual encounter.

Her chemistry with me. The best sex I've had was with women who wanted sex the most and were driven by passion. Men, like women, want to be desired. When a woman whispers in my ear and tells me how much she wants me and how attractive I am, then that's the best sex I'll have. I will also give myself more at the same time.

Beyond the act itself, post-sex intimacy, such as cuddling and expressing enjoyment, plays a vital role. Openness about desires and a non-judgmental attitude are also crucial, fostering a safe space for exploration. Confidence and creativity in the bedroom were also cited as highly attractive qualities, contributing to a memorable and satisfying sexual connection.

When she gives me signs that she enjoys my body, whether she tells me or shows me physically. If she wants to cuddle afterwards, that's always amazing.
