Better yet, with a look.

Everytime some hot chick looks at you, give her an orgasm by looking back. She'll be on you like white on rice in no time.

I would only need to make 1 wish, that the Genie become my Slave and I it's only Master, that way I can have ALL the wishes I ever want.

Well why don't you just wish that the Genie must answer all your questions honestly. That way you can find out if it will try and screw up your wishes and how you would have to phrase your other two wishes in order to get exactly what you desired with no repercussions.

Wouldn't it be better when she looks at you? Otherwise, she may not know from where it comes. For that matter, wouldn't you rather it be that she gets real turned on, so thatin order to satisfy her urges, she needs to be with you?
