Having company is inevitable if you plan on taking a relationship to the next level so it helps when your guests feels comfortable. As we’re sure you’ll appreciate, it’s all about the details. There are two main areas of concern: the bedroom and the bathroom. If you’re looking for some things to make your place feel a little more like home for the new man in your life, here are some things to keep in mind.

The Washroom

Hand towels: It’s always nice to have towels available—the kinds that don’t look like the last guys paw prints are still on them work best. Men don’t need something fancy, just something fresh.

Extra toothbrush: Always keep one of these on hand, just in case. If there is a “morning after,” you’ll want his breath to smell as good as he does.

Shaving kit: You don’t need to buy a top of the line razor. Disposables will do just fine—and not the kind you use for your legs! Make sure you get the more masculine type and keep a small, disposable bottle of manly shaving crème on hand as well.

Cologne: This is an extra touch that you may want to consider. Don’t go crazy. Those little testers that you can pick up at fragrance counter will do the trick. It should go without saying that it should be a scent that you like, too!

Deodorant: Smells fishy, I know, but men like to be as fresh as anyone else. You can pick up the travel size in your local drug store and the extra cents will save you from extra scents!

Air freshener: There’s going to be that time when your guest needs to do one of the most natural and least pleasant of activities in the toilet. It will make him feel more comfortable if he’s got something to mask the action and it will keep your place smelling as pleasant as can be. Keep a can within easy reach!

The Bedroom

Pants: Keeping a spare set of shorts or track pants on hand is a good idea—preferably the kind without pink flowers all over them. It depends on how comfortable you want them to be, but it also helps if you prefer nature boy to be a little less “natural.”

Shirts: Anything besides a tube top should do just fine.

Protection: It never hurts to be prepared. Sex gets served up at the oddest of times so having rubber at the ready is a must. Billy clubs, handcuffs and side arms are optional.

The key to pulling this off is to do it subtly. No man wants to walk into a place where he feels like half the city has gone before. Perhaps whipping out a bag with “My Man Pack” embroidered on it isn’t the best way to approach it. Just keep these items “around” and you might find that he happens to want to stick around a little longer.
