I’m writing a blog post and I really want to emphasise that a particular activity does it for me. Without being crude or risking innuendo. I want more phrases like “float your boat.” Help me brainstorm!

tickles your belly? Flies your kite.
My aunt always says “whatever makes your hair fly back”

@Phil, “Flies your kite” works.
@squirbel, I like it!
tickles your caboose.. (but that is risking innuendo). pops your cherry (crude). hmm this is hard.
It is hard. That’s why I asked. :-)
blows your hair back, trips your trigger, knocks your socks off, flips your switch,
@pattyb, I like “flips your switch” (though it’s too late to use it since the blog post is already out there).
@omfgTALIjustIMDu, I associate yanking one’s chain with being jerked around. Do I have that wrong?
@segdeha, I don’t know, my cousin always says it in the same context one would say “floats your boat.”
Whatever blows your skirt up.
