While men might brag to their friends about thekick-ass sex they're having, they rarely get into specifics. And when it comes to actually divulging their secret desires to the women in their lives...well, they're even more tight-lipped.

But they will tell Cosmo — in large part because they know we'll pass on the information to you. So we spoke to a bunch of guys and experts to find out what tops men's bedroom wish lists. Though every dude has different needs, "there are some universal sex moves and attitudes that most men want but don't know how to request," explains sex therapist Sandor Gardos, PhD, founder of MyPleasure.com. To learn about his carnal longings — and how to satisfy them — read on.

1. HE WANTS A GIRL WHO CAN TURN HERSELF ON

Women, as you know, need time to get revved up. Although your man may be more than willing to pull out all the stops to get you hot, he wouldn't mind if you gave yourself a running start. "A number of women still believe that it's solely a man's job to arouse them," says Georgia sex therapist Gloria Brame, PhD. "To have a really fulfilling sexual experience though, you have to put some effort into getting yourself into a sexual state of mind."

To give your libido a boost, draw on the same sources of inspiration you use during solo self-pleasuring missions. Once his seduction scheme begins, close your eyes and fantasize about a hot encounter you had with your man...or even some other dude. "It's totally okay to think about another sexual partner when you're trying to turn yourself on," reassures Brame. "You just might not want to tell your boyfriend about it.2. HE WANTS SEX TO BE FUN

Unfortunately, real-life romps aren't as seamless as they are in the movies. "Things don't always go smoothly during sex — some positions don't work, and odd noises happen," says Gardos. "If you get hung up on a mishap, it will ruin the mood. But if you can both laugh, it becomes a light bonding moment."

Chas,* 28, agrees. "One night I tried a new move that wasn't executed properly, and my girl hit her head on the nightstand! She didn't hurt herself, so we could joke about it, and then we got back to what we were doing."

Frisky fun is about more than damage control though. Make a silly bet to be paid off in sexual favors or play a board game naked in bed and agree that the loser has to grant the winner one lusty request.
