We all know men love to prove how masculine they are. And what better way than to break flying ceramic disks with hundreds of tiny mental ball bearings?

That’s right. I’m talking clay pigeon shooting (sometimes known as clay target shooting). Perfect for the guy who wants a fun few hours testing his skill and accuracy in a beautiful countryside environment. It’s also great to go in small groups or three or four. You may not get as many shots but you do get the thrill of competing against your friends.

When you choose a shooting school keep the following things in mind.

1. How good is tuition? The nature of the sport makes it compulsory that you are accompanied by an instructor at all times. This shooting instructor can make the difference between and enjoyable session and a frustrating one. With proper instruction even a first timer should be able to hit a fair few clays and have lots of fun.
2. What will it cost? Lessons vary in price depending whether you are having an individual tuition or are part of a group. If your group is two people or fewer, expect a one hour lesson to cost around £70 each. If there are three or more of you most clay shooting schools will give you a two hour session for around the same price each. On top of the tuition and gun hire, you will also have to pay for any cartridges you use. Expect an additional £10 – £20 per person for these.
3. How many stands does the shooting school have? Shooting schools vary in size from a handful of beginner traps to acres of land with more challenging traps to represent every conceivable type of bird (and rabbit!) you would find on a real shoot. You will only get to shoot at a handful of the stands during a session, but a larger school will give you more choice.

Personally I have been to three different shooting schools and had a fun filled time at all of them. Sports shooting really does make a brilliant romantic gift or experience day that your man (and even you!) is bound to enjoy.

Recommended shooting schools near London:

• Holland & Holland Shooting Ground
• West London Shooting School
• Royal Berkshire Shooting School

Discover what men really think about romantic gifts as Squire Tingle and Mistress Tingle talk about this tricky topic over a late Saturday breakfast, covering everything from sex and champagne to pigeons.

MISTRESS TWITCH: What if I buy you two tickets to go to something? I don’t have to come along.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Two tickets doesn’t really work, because you’d want to come. You’d feel left out if I didn’t take you.

MISTRESS TWITCH: I wouldn’t feel left out! It’d be fine! I’d be perfectly happy with you taking somebody else.

SQUIRE TINGLE: You wouldn’t though! You’d be gutted. You expect to be taken. In the card it would say NO PRESSURE in big capital letters. “No pressure to take me, take anyone you want”. And then I’d feel under pressure to take you, because you’d want that I’d want to take you. You’d know that you wanted to be taken. And so if I took someone else I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it because you’d be at home grumpy and you wouldn’t talk to me. And if I took you you’d get what you want and I…

MISTRESS TWITCH: …would feel grumpy.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Would feel grumpy because that’s what you’d told me to do.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Or not to do! So now you’d have to. Alright, can’t do that one. How about if I bought myself some really sexy underwear?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yes, that would work. But that’s really a present for you, isn’t it! So I don’t get to keep it, but I get to see you wearing it…yeah that would work.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Ok, what about I take you to a show that I know you really want to see? I take you to, I don’t know… Simon Drake’s House of Magic?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Now that would be good!

MISTRESS TWITCH: That would be a good romantic gift?

SQUIRE TINGLE: I would like that yeah. Yeah very good romantic gift for me.

MISTRESS TWITCH: So why would that be really good? Just share the details of why would that be good.

SQUIRE TINGLE: It’s good because it’s something I’ve mentioned in the past that I want to see.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And that shows I’ve listened.

SQUIRE TINGLE: It shows you’ve listened. But now you’ve told me about it, it’s kind of ruined the surprise.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Dammit!

SQUIRE TINGLE: But that’s a good idea.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Ok, what about if we…

SQUIRE TINGLE: Now you’ve got to come up with 5 more good ideas to hope to confuse me that that’s not what you’re going to give me.

MISTRESS TWITCH: It’s difficult being a girl.

SQUIRE TINGLE: It’s easier as a man because we can simply buy women chocolates and roses. No wonder that’s why you always get those. Buying a romantic gifts for men is much more tricky.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Well I want my roses. And I liked my champagne it was good. It was easy and it gave me this warm fussy feeling.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Exactly. But even though you like receiving chocolates and roses, you can over do it. You see if you got those every day of the week the effect would wear off.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Would it!?

SQUIRE TINGLE: It would. I know you think it wouldn’t, but it would.

MISTRESS TWITCH: I love my champagne and roses. I’m not sure champagne wears off. It doesn’t make me fat either!

SQUIRE TINGLE: Hmm.

MISTRESS TWITCH: You guys get away with it so much more easily. We girls are really simple to please. For men it’s got to be new, it’s got to be exciting, it’s got to be cool. You have to know that I like it.

SQUIRE TINGLE: What do you mean YOU’VE got to like it!? You don’t have to like it. You can stay at home!

MISTRESS TWITCH: No we’ve had that conversation already. Apparently I do have to come!

SQUIRE TINGLE: You could just give me one ticket. That would solve the problem.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Solve the problem!? Does that mean you WOULD want to do something on your own??

SQUIRE TINGLE: –

MISTRESS TWITCH: What about chocolates and roses as romantic gifts for men?

SQUIRE TINGLE: NO. A) They’re feminine, and B) I wouldn’t want them. Flowers are just too dull.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And chocolates?

SQUIRE TINGLE: No it’s very, very womanly. It’s what you give a woman.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And champagne?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Well, I don’t like champagne. In general I don’t think men would appreciate it no.

MISTRESS TWITCH: A bottle of vodka? That toffee vodka we bought was delicious.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Again, an expensive bottle for someone who loves it would be a nice gift. Don’t just get them a tiny bottle of Smirnoff!

MISTRESS TWITCH: A Bottle of wine from the year of your birth?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yeah, if they’re a wine fanatic. If they drink a lot of wine then that would be an amazing gift.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Ok, now we’re getting somewhere. What about a piece of art, like a painting or photography?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Great idea. But, you’d have to know their tastes. With art you can get it horribly wrong. And if you get it wrong your ‘delightful’ gift would be hung in the basement.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And you’d be dumped!

SQUIRE TINGLE: True. But if you get it right, then you’d might have a nice bit of art to go up in the bedroom.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Ok. What about some erotic artwork? Like me naked. Or not quite naked. So tasteful but still naughty.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yes, yes yes. Very sexy.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And that gift really appeals because it’s sexy?

SQUIRE TINGLE: It appeals because you have thought about what a man likes. It would show you’re a sexy woman and you are comfortable with that, which is a big turn on for men. Obviously they like the, ahem, ‘physical aspects’ of you. It would remind them of you when you weren’t around. But I think it is more the fact that a lot of men see women as not sexually liberated and very hesitant of revealing their sexuality. So if they gave me an erotic photography starring them you’d know that they felt comfortable with it and that’s huge a turn on.

MISTRESS TWITCH: So it is. Just thinking about it has turned you on, hasn’t it?

ST : Mmm… Yes.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Naughty! What about an experience gift. So I take you to a cooking lesson where we cook our meal together. We could go to L’Ateier des Chefs.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Unless the guy’s really into cooking, that is a little bit soppy. It’s like the two ticket thing. That would be something that you’d plan together and do together, not necessarily a present for him. If you man’s interested in cooking then it’d be great. For an experience to work it should be a more manly activity or something you knew they were very interested in.

MISTRESS TWITCH: What about a treat like a night in a top London spa hotel for a night?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yes. Very romantic.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Yes? And why is that?

SQUIRE TINGLE: That works because there’s sex involved!

MISTRESS TWITCH: <laughs>

SQUIRE TINGLE: One hopes…

MISTRESS TWITCH: There’s a theme here, isn’t there?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yup, there’s a theme!

MISTRESS TWITCH: For men it really is just about sex.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Sort of. For a woman that gift would be special because she would enjoy the spa, the quality time spent with their man, the romantic candlelit dinner and the conversation. The man would be thinking to himself “Enough already! Can we please go have sex now!?”.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Are you generalising about all men here based on your experience?

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yeah. But I’m pretty sure that’s how they all feel. The build up is something you have to do otherwise you won’t get sex! I have to do this for my girl and she doesn’t even realise that I’m putting in all this effort for them, even though they’re the one supposed to be treating me!

MISTRESS TWITCH: What about your friend’s idea that I should just go away and leave you alone for the whole weekend so you don’t have to hear me go yabba yabba yabba.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yes that’s good. A little bit of peace and quiet. As long as you didn’t call me everyday while you were away.

MISTRESS TWITCH: To tell you about what my mum had for dinner.

SQUIRE TINGLE: To tell me about what you had done during the day and asking what I’ve done.

MISTRESS TWITCH: The answer would be nothing.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yup!

MISTRESS TWITCH: I know the perfect present for you. I could take you clay pigeon shooting.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Brilliant.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Two tickets? One for you… and one for a friend … or one for…

SQUIRE TINGLE: One for me and one for a pigeon. You can stand in the firing range. I’ll put some feathers on you.

MISTRESS TWITCH: No way.

SQUIRE TINGLE: You could stand there and wiggle your bottom about.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Don’t shoot me!

SQUIRE TINGLE: Course I wouldn’t do that to you. Too much of an easy target anyway…

MISTRESS TWITCH: Are you calling me fat!?

SQUIRE TINGLE: No…

(pause)

MISTRESS TWITCH: Just bigger than a pigeon!

SQUIRE TINGLE: Bigger than a pigeon!

MISTRESS TWITCH: Would you rather two tickets so you could take a friend, or for you and me, or just for you?

SQUIRE TINGLE: I don’t think two tickets works. If the guys got a lot of male friends then it might work, but even then two tickets brings up romantic connotations.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Yeah. You can’t really go on a Man Date.

SQUIRE TINGLE: I think with four tickets you could invite male friends.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Ok.

SQUIRE TINGLE: You can’t have a Man Date so with just two tickets you’d have to invite a women. But you couldn’t invite any other women apart from your girlfriend or partner for obvious reasons.

MISTRESS TWITCH: So it sounds generous but it isn’t really.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yes. But you get to share it with your partner so it can be fun. It’s a good a idea if you know it’s something they’re interested in.

MISTRESS TWITCH: I guess for a different guy that could be a football match, or rugby match, or music concert, or a day at the races.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Absolutely. Notice that most of the gift ideas for men aren’t romantic. Well they are romantic, but not romantic in themselves.

MISTRESS TWITCH: But they’re about knowing your guy. Knowing what he likes.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Yeah, which is a turn on and which IS romantic. The things girls like, and again this is a big generalisation, have romantic connotations. You might see them in films, like a candlelit dinner. It’s always got this romantic atmosphere surrounding it. Roses, flowers, a walk in the park.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Mmm… (begins daydreaming)

SQUIRE TINGLE: Again, I’m not saying some women would not love clay pigeon shooting, but I talking in general here. When choosing a gift for a man you have to think about what he’d like rather than what is romantic.

MISTRESS TWITCH: I guess the difference there is that fundamentally women like anything as long as it involves spending time with their man and the conversation. So it’s not the roses, the chocolates, the dinner or the champagne we like. It’s that you’re going to have to sit there chatting while we drink it! It’s about the time…

SQUIRE TINGLE: and the thought?

MISTRESS TWITCH: and the thought, yeah. For us the focus is really on the conversation and enjoyment of being together. For men the focus is mainly on the enjoyment of the activity.

SQUIRE TINGLE: Spot on. I think for us it’s more about the act of the activity and the afterthought is how wonderful it is that my girlfriend gave me that experience. Whereas for a women the first thought is that my partner is thinking about me and he loves me.

MISTRESS TWITCH: And he’s treating me and I feel special.

SQUIRE TINGLE: If you get flowers to the workplace then everyone else can see that you’ve got them and that makes her feel special. The gift is the secondary concern, whereas for men the gift is the first concern. The feelings come afterwords.

MISTRESS TWITCH: Fantastic. Glad we got that one cleared up!

As a guy, you tend to think you know everything when it comes to sex and pleasing women. You’ve read the articles in GQ, maybe peaked inside a few sex technique books in the relationship section of your local bookstore when no-one was looking.

I know I did.

But something struck me. The book or magazine article may vary, but the information is always the same old hash of tips that anyone who spent 5 minutes behind the bike sheds at school would already know.

What I wanted to know, and what I want to share with you, is why the techniques work. Why do women get turned on by this? Why are they put off by that?

I wanted to understand the psychology behind…

The Secrets of Female Sexuality

Can you imagine being in the elite group of men who truly understand this? Because once you do it makes all that other stuff you’ve read obsolete (not to mention totally overshadowing other men’s feeble attempts at what they consider ‘good sex’).

And the sad fact is, most men are too stubborn and afraid to admit to themselves that they simply aren’t giving women what they want in bed. Where would that leave your ego if you admitted something like that!?

The fact you are reading this article suggests you are not one of those regular chumps. You want to be the guy that gives women the kind of pleasure they didn’t even know was possible. The kind of intimacy they thought would only happen in their wildest fantasies.

And if you are one of those open-minded, adventurous guys, then I have a book that will change how you look at women FOREVER.

It’s by a guy who has certainly been of great help to me. I continue to learn things from him everyday. His name is David Shade.

After his marriage fall apart, David began work on getting to know what women really want. He didn’t go looking through magazines or books. Instead he talked to women themselves and built up his own theories.

And trust me, these theories will blow you away.

How Do You Get Started

I’ve studied most of David shade’s material and the book I’ve got the most benefit from is called ‘The Secrets of Female Sexuality‘ (available from Amazon).

The book covers everything you need to know in order to become a masterful lover.

However, before you go and buy it, you can get a feel for the quality of David Shade’s material by heading over to his website. There’s a free 15 minute video to watch, and if you like it simply enter your email address and you’ll be sent some free tips and audio via email.

As A Gift?

You’re probably wondering why I’ve classified this as a ‘gift idea’. Two reasons:

1. As a man, when you buy this book, you are giving women the gift of incredible pleasure. The kind of pleasure that only YOU will be able to offer them. You essentially become a rare, valuable commodity that women will give anything to get their hands on…literally.
2. If you’re a women reading this article, then I don’t need to explain the benefits you will get out of buying this book and presenting it to your man as a gift. Just remember to do it with some sensitivity. Turning up with a book on sex will raise a man’s defenses fast! Best thing to do is say you noticed it in a book shop and had a quick read. You had never seen anything like it before and thought your man might enjoy it, because from the little you read you could tell the author knew their stuff.

In Summary

If you are serious about giving the special someone in your life pleasure beyond their wildest dreams and having an beatifully intimate sexual relationship then if can’t recommend David Shade’s The Secrets Of Female Sexuality strongly enough.

It’s the best £15 you’ll ever spend.

Interested in being lovingly massaged by trained professionals who also happen to be naked? Then read on…

I don’t know how I stumbled across WINKS London, but I was surprised it hadn’t caught my eye before. As soon as I clicked on to their site I knew this was going to be interesting.

Whilst researching unique romantic gift ideas I have visited a lot of websites. But WINKS London has to be one of the most erotic. It’s white text on a black background oozes professionalism, and the music playing in the background isn’t distracting like on most sites. I found it melodic and even thought about contacting them to find out where to buy it from!

However, the thing that got my heart beating just s little faster and, I must admit, left me staring open mouthed at the screen for just over 3 minutes and 40 seconds was not the text or the graphics, but the video…

The WINKS Massage video is erotic to say the least and definitely aimed at men. It is tasteful, well-shot and lit, very sensual, features actual WINKS masseuses…but…I couldn’t help but feel I was watching softcore porn. Luckily here at Tingle & Twitch Towers I didn’t have to suffer the consequences of an IT Helpdesk scrutinising by Internet usage because this would definitely be classified as gross misconduct in any other firm.

Nethertheless, I continued on watching (the things I do for you, the reader) and by the end of it was left with the impression that this WINKS London was offering probably the most professional and classy sensual massage you could ever hope to get.

The concept is simple. Take the long established guy favourite of lap dances and the relaxing touch of massage, then combine them into one stimulating, erotic package. That’s right. Not only is the client naked, but the masseuse seems to have forgotten to don her white smock as well.

The range of massages also impresses. Their collection includes:

The Classic WINKS, described on their website as

The quintessential embodiment of The WINKS Massage as well as your first foray into a dazzling dimension of dizzying intimate erotic intensity, The Classic WINKS is devotedly prized by sensual massage enthusiasts the world-over as the definitive reference of all sensual – erotic – tantric massages.

The Double Classic featuring not two but four hands (and breasts) caressing your skin.

The Lovers WINKS, a couples massage that you can take your partner along to (Guys, I have a feeling you might have a tough time convincing your girlfriend to come with you though).

The XTREME WINKS which is by invitation only and described as

Most definitely NOT for the faint-hearted, a carnal blend of never before attempted extreme moves, the ultimate in erotic temptation, raising the bar of humanly bearable pleasure to new peaks with a blood-pumping, heart-stopping choreography…a mind-bending cocktail for the senses, the undisputed heavyweight of the WINKS Collection.

Phew! Is it hot in here or what!?

How relaxed you be with a naked masseuse rubbing you with parts of her that are definitely not her hands I don’t know, but if WINKS London are willing to comp me a session then I’d gladly find out for you.
