Have you ever laid eyes on a fountain pen? They're truly beautiful objects but not very common anymore. Just like good lovers, fountain pens are rare things.

Before plain, disposable ballpoint pens became a dime a dozen, these beauties were courted and treasured by men and women alike. Why not return to that elegant and romantic period, when a passionate, monogamous relationship with a beautiful pen was commonplace?

Let your pen set you apart as a person of taste and refinement, and it will reward you with a whole new level of magnetism. Here are four ways a fountain pen can make you a sexier human being.

Express yourself.

All of you. Your wild romantic longings come onto the page as quickly and as easily as they come to mind.

One of the great advantages of a fountain pen is the how smoothly it writes. The nib requires very little pressure to release the ink, and if you adopt an elegant cursive style, your fingers can work effortlessly for hours. This means your passionate billet-doux or your erotic poem can continue just as long as your ardor and imagination do.

Display your sensuality.

Reading your letters and catching glimpses of you expressively writing will send a signal to your beloved that you are meticulous with your hands, your eyes, and your mind.

This is why we so often find artists attractive--they're in tune with their senses. Drawing each individual letter and arranging words on the page is a beautiful art all its own. You could copy "Hey Diddle, Diddle" with a fountain pen, and it would be seductive as hell!

Give all of yourself.

Text messages and emails have no trace of human life-no crooked lines or loops written hastily in a stolen moment, no ink smudges from the warm hand that so desperately wants to touch.

Giving your lover a letter or note, beautifully executed by your own hand is like handing them a big hot slice of your heart. And a sincere attempt to connect increases intimacy, putting you in a position to reap generous rewards.

Pass the love on.

What's the ultimate proof of good love? Sending more love out into the world.

If your partner finds your inky ways entirely irresistible, your passion could very well lead to procreation. And if that's the case, you'll have a beautiful, timeless object to pass down and write love notes for generations to come.

No pen? No problem.

If you aren't lucky enough to get your hands around one of these delightful pens, you could always appeal to more primitive side of your beloved. Obtaining a simple quill requires only that you pluck a feather from a goose's caboose. But, please, for the sake of your love life, banish the Bic pen.
