Millions of women would love the men in their lives to use a kink to get them going when the lights go out – but it seems lads remain in the dark.
Amid all the fancy positions or even new partners you can introduce in the bedroom, there are seemingly two very simple things that will hit the target every time for the ladies.
Now, it's worth remembering that everyone has their own preferences – just ask anyone who is into podophilia.
And while it's always healthy to have conversations about what you want, a lot of people won't want to have to explain all that, as they want it to happen naturally – and not have to high-five their successful boyfriend afterwards.

Anyway, for all you men reading this, desperately trying to learn how to impress a new lady friend, I'll put you out of your misery. The first kink that millions of women are supposedly into is being praised in the bedroom. And if you already knew that, good job.
Sex professor Dr Nicole K McNichols explained: "People who have praise kinks get turned on by their partner complimenting them during sex.
"Praise kink exists on a continuum of course, because, I mean, who doesn't love being told that they're beautiful or hot or amazing in some way?"
Considering more than 60 million people are said to have searched about the praise kink on TikTok, it's clearly something that piques the interest of a lot of women.
Dr McNichols adds: "The kink involves people who get off on hearing how wonderful they are (especially in the bedroom).
"So if you are like me and you go a bit wild when your fella calls you a 'good girl' while getting it on... welcome, you are part of the 'praise kink' tribe."
However, it's apparently not the only thing that men are clueless about when it comes to the bedroom, as 80 percent of women are supposedly getting involved with a new sex trend that does not require a helping, er, hand.
The latest trend, known as 'broadening', is essentially a form of masturbation which involves rubbing, pressing or moving your entire vulva against a surface.
Psychosexual therapist Natasha Silverman says: "It's sort of like dry humping on steroids, as the surface is usually a large one – and as a result, it stimulates a larger surface area of the vulva.
"Instead of just targeting the external clitoris, it engages the deeper clitoral structures."
Actually, it seems as if you can't do much in this scenario, unless you're willing to be the stationary surface that your wife or girlfriend sexually shuffles up against.
"Many of my clients bring up the topic of broadening in the therapy room, but few realise that there’s actually now a name for it, or that this is what they’ve been doing for all of this time.
"It’s incredibly common, particularly among women who discover self-pleasure in childhood or adolescence," Silverman adds.
There you have it, guys.
