Daring, outgoing, adventurous. Is your relationships any of those things?
It’s easy to get caught up in the stresses of our life and forget about some of the most overlooked pleasures of life: sex and relationships.
The routine and responsibilities of our modern era can drain the romance from our relationships.
We find ourselves on our phones individually, but together in the room. The light goes out, and the action is anything but.
So, how are we to revive our lack of lust, bring back the romance back into our rooms, and spark a new intimate connection when we are in the midst of an era that prizes speed over enjoyment?
I believe, we need to create more confident, sexually empowered people. We need to educate ourselves on sex, self pleasure and pleasure with our lovers. We need to follow a new way of living, if we are to create a new bedroom experience.
Here’s my top tips for spicing up the boring, bland and vanilla sex that may be taking place in your relationship right now:
Reduce stress.
Stress, has been seen as somewhat of a badge of honour. However, stress inhibits your sex drive, your thinking, your emotions and your body. Minimise stress and you’ll end up getting in touch with your body, that little bit more.
2. Choose to set the mood early.
When you get home from work you don’t immediately turn on the television or go on your computer or phone. Instead slow down, light some candles, turn on some relaxing jazz. Just by setting the mood early, you are more inclined to step into the mood later.
3. Become an expert at faking it. Sure, you do not need to fake orgasms per say, but if you feel your sex drive has dried up, it may be beneficial to have sex, willingly of course, until you start to get into the mood. That old saying ‘fake it until you make it’, rings true. Eventually, you will start enjoying it again.
4. Initiate what you want to receive.
Often we pass the responsibility to our lover, it’s up to them to initiate the toys, fantasies and role plays. However nothing could be further from the truth. You are responsible for your sex and love life just as much as your lover. Why not step up, and show your lover what you’d like to receive.
Daring, outgoing and adventurous. Your love life can be all of those things, when you become all of those things.
