Tips For Better Sex
Sex isn't just fun. It's good for you,too. Every orgasm releases the hormone, oxytocin which improves your mood. Regular rolls in the hay could improve your heart health, reduce stress and depression, improve your self esteem, and help you sleep better. Snuggling together under the sheets also makes you feel closer to your partner and enhances your sense of intimacy,
Couples who talk to each other about their wants and desires have better sex and a healthier relationship, research finds. Tell your partner what you like and what you don't like. Share your most intimate fantasies and desires. If you're too bashful to say those private thoughts out loud, write them down on a story or journal entry for your partner to read.
Spice up your sex life by stretching your boundaries as a couple. Play around with foreplay. Touch each other in new ways. Try out different sex positions to see which one feels best. Dress up in costume and play as characters(nurse, doctor, cowboys). Move the bed to the floor, the bathroom, or the kitchen counter. Watch a dirty movie together. Bring sex toys like vibratoe, anal beads, or feathers into the mix.
Working out boosts stamina in bed, and puts you in the mood. Exercise also creates a more toned body, which improves self esteem and makes you feel sexier. It's not clear how much exercise you need to improve sex life. Start with standard recommendations--150 minutes of aerobic activity and two days of strength training a week.
No matter how busy you are, sex is one part of your day that you shouldn't rush. Don't skimp on the foreplay. Those extra moments that you spend touching and kissing each other help get you aroused and make sex more pleasurable. When you slow down you also get more time to spend with partner. That's good for your relationship overall.
Women's bodies naturally make their own lubricant, but sometimes it's in short supply. Hormonal changes around the time of menopause can cause vaginal dryness that makes for painful sex. A water-based lubricant is best to use with condoms. But silicone lubes are less irritating for anal sex.
Not every romantic encounter has to end in sex. You and your partner can find pleasure in many other ways. Take a bath together or give each other a sensual massage. Have a hot make-out session on the couch. Teach each other how you like to be touched. Or just cuddle.
Sex is a potent stress reliever, but it's hard to get into the mood when you're all keyed up. After a tough day, do something calming together to relax. Listen to soft music. Practice relaxation exercises such as deep breathing or meditation. Research shows mindful meditation helps women get more in tune with their bodies during sex.
