Has your sex life somewhat been neglected a bit
lately? It’s not that you don't care but
well, it's just a matter of finding the time and energy. It may seem impossible some days because there's
a whole lot to attend to including work, cleaning, working out, shopping for
grocery, laundry, cooking dinner, attending to the kids and other family
commitments, friends, ironing-the list is endless!
At the end of the day, you just pass out
within minutes of hitting your bed. Or you're not in the
mood. Or you’re just not bothered. Before long, a month has passed and you can't
recollect the last time you had sex.
Also, when was the last time you gave your partner a passionate kiss, not
just a quick peck?
Does this sound like you? Do you want to reignite passion
in your sex life, then read on.
1. Be spontaneous
The element of surprise can be very seductive. Have a shower together, shock your partner
with a long, passionate kiss when they are expecting to just graze lips, buy
some new sexy lingerie and put it on.
2. Get healthy
Eating well and exercising regularly put you in better
touch with your body and that inner healthy glow not only makes you look more
attractive but gives you loads of energy and makes you feel more vibrant and
alive.
3. Be affectionate
If it’s been a while you last had sex, then it may be better
to build up gradually to get back into the groove. Instead of trying to go from a standing start
to racing speed, ease your way back into the physical by touching when you can
and by being considerate with each other. Touch when you talk. Stop to kiss
when you walk past each other in the hallway.
Trail your finger along their shoulder as they sit reading a
magazine. Cuddle on the couch in front
of your favorite movie.
4. Be sensual
Give your partner a peppermint foot bath when they get
home from a busy day. Massage their
hands, scalp, back - wherever takes your fancy (if you don't know how to
massage, don't think about it, just do what feels good). You can tickle your partner by using a
feather or silk scarf to trail along the length of their body.
5. Be affirmative to your partner
Even when you've been together a long time, your partner may
not always know what you fancy and even if they do, it won’t hurt if you tell
them again once in a while. Tell them what you like and why. Armed with more information
from you, you never know what next they may do to please you.
6. Read your partner an erotic bedtime story
The mind is very important attempting to resuscitate your
sex life. It needs to be first of all
turned on and the body will follow.
There are some great erotic fictions around or you could try Nancy
Friday for stories about the sexual fantasies of other people.
7. Have fun
When was the last time you had a good laugh
together? Put on your favorite track and
dance. Or get the music that was popular
when you first got acquainted and play that for a trip down memory lane over
dinner. Take a midnight dip.
8. Write a sexy letter
If you can't express in words to your partner what you
really want them to do to you, then writing it down is a good alternative. It affords
you the chance to be as specific as you would like without any hindrance and
gives your partner time to process what you've said and get into the mood. You
can search online if you need help on how to write love letters.
9. Experiment
Learn a new sex technique together. Try a romantic
weekend away from home. You could also
try a sex toy from the many varieties on offer. If you’ve always had sex lying
down, then try sitting standing positions. If you're always on top, then try
switching roles.
10. Focus on the now
When you do get down to it, it is important that you keep
your focus on exactly what you’re doing presently. To do this, you must stop
the rant going on in your own head.
Don't worry that you need to call your mother about her birthday or you forgot
to pick up the drycleaning, or the fact that you need to do some grocery
shopping. All of that stuff should wait till later. And I mean much later. Chances
are it won't seem really that important once you're done.
