The Real Magic Mikes: Two Male Strippers Tell Us How To Make a Man Feel Sexy

So, what can a woman do to make a man feel like a rock star? A few words of wisdom from the guys "Be funny. Be laid back. Let us be us. And don't be shy. If there's something that a girl wants to try with a guy--I don't know, maybe I'm not like most guys, I'm a little extreme--but if a girl wants to try something different and she's getting turned on by it, it's gonna turn me on." Additionally, Taylor says, "The best relationships I've been in are the ones where we did fun stuff all the time. You don't have to travel or spend a lot of money to do fun stuff....Life is short."

What makes a woman catch the eye of the man on stage: The guys say they're usually too busy focusing on their routines, but sometimes they'll take notice: "Aura, maybe what she's wearing, something about her stands out. Sometimes I'll focus in on that and I can't even concentrate on the whole performance. A smile, a pretty smile." And ditch the snobbery: "Don't act like you're too good to come tip a dollar. Make us wanna be around you because you're fun. That's why we do what we do."

And of course, I had to ask about their grooming routines...

How do they get that smooth skin: "Tan. Shave. We tried Nair, but it burns." What? They don't even have to submit to the torture that is waxing? NO FAIR. In fact, one of the guys says he's not even hairy anywhere but his legs, so he doesn't even have to shave. So there's no secret weapon or magic product then? "I only shave with the grain…I don't know if that helps. It gets a little stubbly, but.."

Sigh. Men always have it easier.
