I don't know if this helps,I read this article a while back....it's relevant to dating though, nothing about sex, sorry!
Flirting and body language
Tracey Cox
A number of subconscious triggers play a major role in the dating game, governing how we see each other. Find out how to avoid getting the push before you've said "hello"!
First impressions:
This doesn't mean you can get away with droning on about your passion for snails and butterfly collection forever (content is crucial later), but it does mean you need to get the body language right straight away or they won't bother to stick around to find out how fascinating you are.
If you're not already feeling horribly self-conscious, you should be. To make you completely paranoid, here's another scary thought. Before you've even spoken to the person you've got your eye on, the way you've walked and stood is more than 80 per cent of their first impression of you!
We make snap judgements based on instinct but the fact is, almost every facet of our personality is evident from our appearance, posture and the way we move.
So, how do we tell if our body is sending the right signals - and (more importantly) how to read theirs? Let your body do the talking (and the flirting) by learning to recognise...
The five secret sexual signals that someone is flirting with you:
The flirting triangle: When we look at people we're not familiar with (in a business situation for instance), our eyes make a zig-zag motion: we look from eye to eye and across the bridge of the nose.
With friends, the look drops below eye level and moves into a triangle shape: we look from eye to eye but also look down to include the nose and mouth.
Once we start flirting, the triangle gets even bigger - it widens at the bottom to include their good bits (like the body). The more intense the flirting, the more intensely we'll look from eye to eye - and the more time we'll spend looking at their mouth.
If someone is watching your mouth while you're talking to them, it can be very, very seductive. It could be that they're imagining what it would be like to kiss you.
Mirroring: This is what separates a good flirt from a great flirt: nothing will bond you more effectively than mirroring someone's behaviour. This simply means you do whatever it is they do. If they lean forward to tell you something intimate, you lean in to meet them. If they sit back to take a sip of their drink and look you in the eye, you pause then follow suit.
The theory behind mirroring is that we like people who are like us. If someone is doing what we're doing, we feel they're on the same level as us and in the same mood as we are.
There are two no-go areas with this one, though: firstly, only mirror positive body language; second, capture the spirit rather than mimicking them. As a general rule, wait around 50 seconds before following their gestures.
The eyebrow flash: When we first see someone we're attracted to, our eyebrows rise and fall. If they are similarly attracted, they raise their eyebrows in return. Never noticed? It's not surprising since the whole thing lasts only about a fifth of a second!
We're not consciously aware of doing it, but it's a gesture that is duplicated by every culture on Earth. In fact, some experts claim it's the most instantly recognised non-verbal sign of greeting used by humans.
The trick is to watch for it when you meet someone you fancy. Better still, tell them you're interested on a subconscious level by prolonging your eyebrow flash for up to one second - deliberately raise them while catching their eye for full impact.
Pointing : Sneak a peek at what their feet and hands are doing - we tend to point toward the person we're interested in. If we find someone attractive, we'll often point at them subconsciously with our hand

I read this article awhile back.. it's pretty accurate...
Here's a blurb I read about body language of liars:
* The person will make little or no eye contact. A person who is lying to you will do everything to avoid making eye contact.
* Physical expression will be limited, with few arm and hand movements. What arm and hand movements are present will seem stiff, and mechanical. Hands, arm and legs pull in toward the body; the individual takes up less space.
* His/Her hand(s) may go up to his face or throat, especially to the mouth. But contact with his/her body is limited to these areas. He is also unlikely to touch their chest with an open hand gesture. They may also touch the nose or scratch behind the ear.
* If this person is trying to appear casual and relaxed about their answer, they may shrug little and the timing is off between gestures and words. If the facial expression comes after the verbal statement (?I am so angry with you right now? ? pause ? and then the angry expression), it looks false OR gestures don?t match the verbal message, such as frowning when saying ?I love you.? Hands
tightly clenched and a statement of pleasure are not in sync with each other.
* Expression will be limited to the mouth area when the person is feigning certain emotions ?happiness, surprise, awe, and so on ? rather than the whole face.
* The person who is lying will probably slouch; he is unlikely to stand tall with his arms out or outstretched.
* There?s movement away from his/her accuser, possibly in the direction of the exit.
Finally.. a tell could be that they
? He may place physical objects (pillow, drinking glass, et cetera) between himself and his accuser to form a barrier, with a verbal equivalent of ?I don?t want to talk about it,? indicating deception or covert.
The year is 2005. If you are serious about this, why don't you buy a freakin book about body language?????
Do you honestly expect answers here?????
Good luck!!!
