All couples will eventually get into a rut with their sex lives. It may be because of changing situations – like a new baby or a promotion that requires more hours spent at work – or you could just be bored.
Whether you like it or not, sex is an important part of your relationship, and you need to work on ways that you can make it better. Talk to your partner about the different ways you can spice up your sex life and check out a few fun and sexy ideas below:
Sex Toys
Think about using sex toys to spice up your relationship. If you are a bit hesitant at first, you don’t have to start with the handcuffs or the biggest dildo. Instead, look for things that are a bit tamer, such as a flavored lube or a dice game that gives you hints about what to do. Talk to your partner to find out what types of toys interest him, and try to keep an open mind. You may find that you enjoy it when he uses a vibrator on you just as much as you do when you do it alone. If you aren’t sure what to buy, consider an option like The Spice Box from Spicy Subscriptions. The service brings a box of sexy goodies – from lingerie and toys to massage oil – right to your doorstep in a discreet package!
Location and Timing
Couples who have been together for years tend to get into a bit of a routine. For example, you may always have sex on Friday night or Saturday morning, always in your bedroom. Spice things up by thinking outside of the bed. You have many places in your home that you can have sex, such as the living room couch or on the kitchen counter. Surprise him by getting frisky on a Monday morning and watch his passion rise. Or why not plan a special weekend getaway for some one-on-one quality time?
Positioning
Like the location and timing of sex, you probably have a few favorite positions as a couple. These make sex easy because you know you’ll always have an orgasm when you do things in a certain way. It also can make it boring. Get creative! Try out a new position to see how it changes things. Even something as simple as putting a pillow under your bottom in the missionary position can make a big difference. You may go back to your normal position for the big finale, but you can have a great time getting there.
Role Playing
Let out your inner actress to ramp up your sex life. If you sometimes feel a bit reserved in your sex life, you may want to try having sex as another person. Talk to your partner about your fantasies and listen to his. Perhaps you’d like to role play a teacher-student relationship or have your man be the sexy delivery man bringing you a pizza.
Quickies
Sex doesn’t always have to be long and drawn out. Sometimes, having a bit of quick sex can make you feel closer together. If possible, text your partner while he’s at work and ask him to meet you at home for a little love. You can also try to initiate sex when you don’t have much time or when you might get caught. All of these will increase your passion.
