A lot of guys when they're new seem to have problems escalating physically and/or taking the interaction in a sexual direction. I think it stems from the shame and guilt a lot of guys grew up with surrounding sex. I know I grew up with a lot of that.

One thing I've been experimenting with are direct sexual openers, ie just going up and saying Hi and then basically within the first minute, you know what you're beautiful, what are you up to right now? With piercing eye contact and a slight smirk.

I know that the odds of this working to get sex are vanishingly small, but for me the purpose is more to grow the balls of steel required to own your sexuality and become proud to be a man who wants sex.

A physical version of this could be a kiss open, going for the kiss within the first few seconds. Has anyone tried any of these techniques and how has your experience with them been?
