Work with the raw material you have, namely you, and never let up.

When you meet a man, don't you always idly wonder what he'd be like in bed? I do.

Every morning when I'm thrashing around on the floor doing my solid hour of heavy exercises I'm not really doing that for anyone but myself. It makes me feel good.
