Are you and your partner experiencing a sexless relationship? You're not alone. Many couples face a decline in intimacy, but there's hope for revival.
According to Psychology 101, physical and emotional intimacy are crucial for a healthy relationship. When these aspects dwindle, it's essential to identify the root cause and address it.
Published on November 18, 2019, a relationship expert shares 12 steps to add some pizzazz to your sex life.
1. Identify the Missing Ingredient
Take a closer look at your relationship and identify the reasons behind the sex lull. Is it lack of time, unresolved issues, or something else?
2. Schedule Sex
Yes, you read that right! Scheduling sex can be beneficial. Think about it – you schedule everything else, why not set aside time for intimacy?
3. Quickies Can Be Fun
When time is limited, learn to perfect the quickie. Sneak away from work, take a shower together, or get creative with your ideas.
4. Share Your Fantasies
Let your partner know what tickles your fancy. Explore new areas together and agree on what works for you as a couple.
5. Naughty Little Notes
Leave sweet notes in strategic places to put your partner in the mood. An element of surprise can spice things up!
6. Be Adventurous
Don't be predictable! Try new positions, places, and scenarios to keep things exciting.
7. Flirt and Sext
Flirting and sexting can be a great way to keep the spark alive. Send raunchy texts and make your partner crave you.
8. Develop Your Own Coded Language
Create a secret language that only the two of you understand. It can be as simple as touching your foot under the table or rolling your tongue in a specific way.
9. Go on Dates
Nurture your emotional connection by going on dates. Make time for each other and remember why you fell in love.
10. Don't Compare Yourself to Movies
Remember, movies are scripted and edited. Real-life relationships are different, and it's essential to focus on your own journey.
11. Check Your Birth Control
Changing your birth control can make a significant difference in your sex life. Some contraceptives can cause dryness or kill libido.
12. Talk About Sex
Open communication is key to a healthy sex life. Share your expectations, erogenous zones, and desires with your partner.
Bonus Tip: Don't Worry About Orgasms
A good sex life is not just about chasing orgasms. Focus on intimacy and connection, and remember that sometimes, an intimate make-out session can be just as satisfying.
