...first thing that any ed needs is an opening sentence or lead, as it is known to the trade. Several possibilities are obvious at once. The sex angle is always a good thing to start with, but that would only make things hotter, and no one would want that, would he? Another sure fire eye-catcher would be, "Hot enough for you?"
