5 Great Tips on How to Spice Up Your Sex Life

Have you come to a point where you are starting to wonder where all the passion from the bedroom has gone? If you are sick and tired of the same old-same old, here are 5 great tips on how to spice up your sex life and keep the good feelings, good times, and your partner coming back for more.

1. Pretend you've just met

The moment you notice your sex life waning, think about how other men or women might see your partner if they were just meeting him or her for the first time - this alone should motivate you to impress your partner more.

For men, this could mean getting up just a few minutes earlier than usual to join her or make time for later to play in the tub and make her feel special. For women, this could mean buying new lingerie, playing up your assets, not letting your appearance slide, and not allowing yourself to get caught dead in granny panties. Small, simple changes like these could help you rediscover each other's sexiness and spice up your sex life.

2. Harness the power of foreplay

Foreplay is what gets you all worked up for sex and eager in anticipation for what's to come next. It definitely doesn't have to be limited to the last 10 minutes before you dive into doing the deed.

In the morning when you wake up and catch yourself in the mood, go ahead with the kisses and caresses, but don't cave in. Instead, spend the rest of half the day stealing flirtatious, seductive glances, strokes, and kisses.

As you leave for work, start the day with a suggestive email saying how hot your partner looked as he or she left, send an MMS with a sexy pose of you on it saying you can't wait to see him later once you get back, or text her later in the afternoon to let her know what you plan to do to her when you get home, or slip him a sexy note telling him that you're not wearing any underwear.

3. Indulge in quickies

In all of life's busyness, you won't always have time for marathon, gourmet sex. But this definitely doesn't mean that you should skip it altogether. A quickie just before heading off to work or during your lunch hour can leave you both feeling refreshed and satisfied.

4. Go outside of the bedroom

There is always something exciting and exhilarating about having sex out of the bedroom. You don't really have to go outside of your home, spend money, or fear getting caught in public. There are lots of potential passion places within your home just waiting to be tapped to give your sex life the spice it needs. For starters, three great locations would be: the kitchen sink, counter, or table, the sofa, or the living room or bedroom floor.

5. When unsure, go back to the basics

A certain level of comfort and pleasure still comes along with your run of the mill, conventional, married sex. If you find that this works for both of you, there is definitely no shame in doing so.

When it feels like you are already trying too hard and yet you still feel stuck, go back to the basics - the foreplay and positions that always did the trick for you both. There is no need to fix something that isn't broken, after all.

When it all boils down to it, it really is just a matter of being open-minded and constructively open to one another about each other's wants and needs. It won't be long before you stumble upon just the thing you need and before you know it you will have discovered how to spice up your sex life all over again.
