Let your partner pick your outfit for the evening (okay, so you may end up staying in), and put it on you piece by piece. Then do the same for him. The whole process of dressing the love of your life in the clothes you like best will be as sexy and scintillating as tearing them off of each other later.

9. Go Undercover
Head to a snazzy hotel lounge together where no one knows your names and let some fabulous fable unfold. Strike up a conversation with the friendly folks next to you or with the bartender, and spin a story about the funny way you met (“It just so happened that we had our palms read and were told by the manghuhula to specifically seek each other out.”) or about how difficult it is to find time to meet up and have a drink together, what with you both being airline pilots. Sure, it’s devious, but it’s delicious, harmless fun.

10. Have A Booty Banquet
Whether you choose to do some dirty dining in your own kitchen or at a romantic restaurant where the rule is that you can only order foods that are super-sensuous to eat, focus on feeding each other love-potent dishes that’ll jump-start your sex drives. Foods that double as foreplay? Raw oysters, melon, avocados, lobster, truffles, tempura, sorbet, fondue, and ice cream topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Bon appetit, mon cher!

11. Brand Your Boyfriend
Give him a hickey that gets his heart pumping. A good old-fashioned passion remnant is so high school and goofy that you’ll both giggle every time you see it. And he’ll love being a marked man.

12. Serenade Your Soul Mate
So what if you sound like a dying cat. Videoke your heart out to Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move,” Barry White’s “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe,” or any other heartfelt love song directed to your dream man. Or dare him to do a duet to “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang?” a la Pops and Ogie. A PDI (Public Display of Insanity) proves that you have no shame when it comes to showing off your feelings.

13. Throw A Smolderingly Hot Harlequin Night
As cheesy and cliche as those bodice-ripping, hulky he-man stories are, they’re so fun to act out-if you don’t take yourselves too seriously. So laugh it up as you play it up and, ultimately, heat things up: Feed each other grapes, dance together by moonlight, make out by the light of a hundred little candles, talk breathlessly about your forbidden love, and top it all off with a stormy romp in the bedroom. Who knows—with a little practice, he might find his inner Fabio and burst into your boudoir more often.

14. Get Sporty
Go to a sabong stadium, the Sta. Clara racetrack, or any other heart-pumping spectator sport, and let loose. Compete to see who can yell the loudest, eat the most balut, or go on a quest to see who can find the biggest beer gut in the crowd. Opting out of the usual dinner-and-movie date in favor of a wild new night on the town is like discovering choc-nut ice cream if you’ve only had a taste of vanilla. Once you’ve tried it, you may never go back to anything ordinary.

15. Quiz Each Other
What would you do if you had three months left to live? How much money would you shave your head for? If you could live anywhere for a year, where would you go? Check out The Book of Questions, by Gregory Stock, together. “In spite of how well you know each other, there’s always new intriguing territory to explore,” says Dr. Goulston.

16. Make Bets With Pervy Payoffs
Pick point spreads on a game or gamble on random trivia, and back up your friendly competition with a sexy wager—“I’ll bet you two hours as a love slave that you don’t know why some pistachios are dyed red” or “If Kris Aquino doesn’t wear a cleavage-revealing top on The Buzz today, you get a full-body massage.” The logic? Couples need to cultivate their competitive spirit. Keeping the peace all the time is boring. Sensual bets can help send your passion quotient off the charts.
