What are your irrational turn ons? Things like bubble wrap are too easy.

I love the feeling of a brand new dvd or cd, Also taking the plastic off a dvd is great.
A new jar of instant coffee when you pop the foil lid.
Leaving the protective screen cover on a new phone for as long as possible.

We all have them.

For me its the smell of a brand new car, and the feeling of putting on a new piece of clothing after just cutting the tag!

I do the same thing, on the front of the phone (flip phone), inside screen and on the key pads! And what's even better is sliding it off, very very slowly when you can no longer keep them on!
I can't think of any others at the moment, but this is a really good one!

Popping open an ice cold can of Coca Cola on a really hot day. Freshly laundered sheets.

There's more I'm sure, but I'm not coming up with them right now!

The first dip into a brand new jar of peanut butter when it's all smooth on top.

I like to carve a shape in first then take it out in that shape.

I like the smell of shoe polish. Reminds me of my dad. I shine every pair of my shoes once a week, (except The Adidas' and New Balance.)

- The slender curve of a woman's lower back that resembles the shape of a crescent moon

- The way the cap on a 1.75 litre bottle of Beefeater crackles when you open it for the first time

- The sweet, painful ecstasy of that first stretch the morning after a tough work out

- The sight of nearly frozen Ketel One slowly oozing out of the bottle, over a lemon and on to the awaiting ice cubes

- Waking up in the morning and the first thing that hits you is the smell of sex still lingering in the air from the night before

I have many more but figured I'd only report the short list for now.

I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with anything that's actually "irrational." I love when my car is clean and shiny. When the dishwasher is empty. The smell of my kids' hair. My leather jacket. All very rational, really... well, my watch. My watch is an irrational turn on.

Though on TRF, that's pretty much a given and not irrational at all!

tszyu#1 · 26 January 2008, 07:12 AM

How about opening that new can of tennis balls ssssss pop!

GerardoG · 26 January 2008, 09:31 AM

Drinking my first cup of coffee sitting in the yard, watching the ocean; the smooth mist of a brand new day, calm sea and a rising sun.

...the first puff on a cuban cigar.

and most of all, the laughter of my kids; that makes me smile and feel alive, taking away all problems.

BLSampson · 26 January 2008, 09:39 AM

A rack of ribs....my dinner tonight.

ratmotortom · 26 January 2008, 09:48 AM

The first day of vacation !

watchlady · 26 January 2008, 11:47 AM

Me too, I kind of made it up to tease my little brother when we were kids but I really like it.

Aroma of Italian cooking and Expresso.

Gedanken · 26 January 2008, 11:32 PM

A nice sharp knife. Okay, okay, before the PC hand-wringers get their knickers in a twist, I'm talking about kitchen knives in particular. I do so love a perfectly sharpened knife, especially when I'm slicing that eye fillet extra-fine to make my beef carpaccio.

Not to hijack the thread and you can PM me an answer if you wish but what is your method for keeping kitchen knives so sharp?
IMO a pocket knife isn't sharp until I can shave the hair off my arm but kitchen knives do not respond as well to a wet stone and I'm unwilling to run our cutlery through some counter-top vibrating stone machine for fear of ruining the blades. I have looked for knife sharpening services in my area but to no avail.

On The Edge in the Providence Place Mall offers knife sharpening. The owner of the shop does it himself and a wonderful job indeed. He charged me $8 to sharpen my kitchen blade. I also picked up a spyderco sharpener there that I've used with great success on my folders and my kitchen blades.

Here is a link to the sharpener I purchased at the same store I mentioned earlier:
