Female sex appeal comes in many forms, but none so classy and seductive as burlesque. Mastering burlesque style and performance in the bedroom adds spice to any relationship. You will feel super sexy and your man will be captivated.

One of the modern mistresses of burlesque is Dita Von Teese, famous for her incredible stature, figure and raunchy-yet-classy stripteases. Her vamp-style captured the heart and hand in marriage of Marilyn Manson. Von Teese believes any woman can look as sexy as her. She believes sex appeal is as much in performance as it is in appearance.

Von Teese is blessed with an incredible figure, with a 16 inch waist and her strip shows do reveal some of the sexiest and expensive lingerie in the world, so appearance is vital in the art of burlesque.

However, just stepping into a feather-trimmed corset from Victoria’s Secret will not necessarily push all your man’s buttons all at once, but the way you act in your corset will. For this reason, Von Teese has revealed a whole host of sexy secrets in her stunning new book Burlesque and the Art of Teese.

Von Teese believes performance should be part of every woman’s daily vocabulary. Her sexy secrets can be applied whether wearing your corset in the bedroom or fully clothed walking through a crowded room. Burlesque performance can be applied in any situation when you want to crank up your sex appeal.

Von Teese says, “There’s no such thing as a plain woman. Everyone has attractive points, so my advice is to accentuate your best assets. Burlesque is a world of illusion, dreams and fun.”

Here are some of her sexy tips for seduction:

Apply lipstick in full view of your victim. This is particularly effective when done slowly and with a pretty compact.

Adjust your garter or stockings as though you were attempting to do it discreetly.
Allow your stiletto heel to dangle from one foot.

Touch yourself lightly in places you would want him to touch such as your neck, hair or face. Do this subtly as he talks to you and remember to be fascinated by every word he says.

Go to the powder room. Captivate every man in the room by gliding confidently and effortlessly across the room in your stilettos.

Wear something that feels nice to the touch, such as velvet, silk or cashmere.
Wear your signature scent lightly and make him lean in close to smell it.

Eat sexy food such as strawberries and cherries. This isn’t about tying a cherry stem with your tongue to show off, it’s about effortless and natural seduction, and this should be applied to all of the above tips.

Study ballet dancers. Ballet is about grace and elegance, things that have been proven time and time again to be attractive.
