How to Improve Your Sex Life
Sex is
more than a physical release; it is a way to intimately connect with another
human. But sometimes distractions can interfere with your ability to connect
with your partner. Maybe it's work, school, or kids that dominate your time.
Whatever your distraction is, sex is often the thing that gets kicked to the
curb in your relationship. You don't have to let life get in the way of having
the sex that you want to have, though. Keeping your sex life fresh and exciting
is easy if you communicate and make an effort as partners to spice things up
and have fun with each other in the bedroom (and elsewhere).
Explore your own body. To feel comfortable and intimate with a partner, feel comfortable and intimate with yourself. This includes being connected to your body and your feelings. Feel free to experience and express the way you feel. Learn how you like to be touched, what turns you on, and how your body reacts to different stimulus. You can explore your body with your partner, too.

Using a vibrator can help a
woman explore her own sexual responses, and can show her partner what she
enjoys.
Relaxbefore sex. Use some
relaxation techniques before becoming intimate with your partner. This will
help take the focus off of performance. Strive to enjoy every moment of the
experience. Take some deep breaths and consciously relax tight muscles.
·
Relax with your partner.
Take deep breaths together and enter into a relaxed physical and emotional
space.
·
If you struggle with
performance anxiety,
Concentrate
on foreplay. Sometimes sex
can start to feel scripted, like you're moving quickly from A to B to C. Slow
down and focus on sensuality before diving into sex. Foreplay is about exciting
both partners equally.
·
Trade massages before you
have sex, and spend a particular length of time exploring each other's bodies
before you're allowed to move on. Make the touching part of sex as long and
luxurious as possible. Put on soft music and make an evening of it. Take your
time.
·
Focus on pleasuring your
partner and giving excitement. Then, revel in pleasure when it’s returned to
you.

Many women benefit most
from clitoral stimulation during foreplay.
Take
your time. Don’t
approach sex as something to do and then get done. Slow down and enjoy every
aspect of sex. Experience the pleasure of being touched, and return the touch
to your partner. Enjoy touching and being touched. Engage in non-sexual
touching before moving onto sexual touch. Enjoy the feeling of your partner’s
body and take it slow.
·
Practice sensate focus.
This exercise helps build trust and intimacy over a gradual period of time
(20–40 minutes), and helps relieve performance anxiety. Taking turns, engage in
increasing touch with your partner. First start with non-sexual touch to your
partner, touching the torso, arms, legs. Then include increasing sexual touch,
around the breasts/nipples and groin area, but not touching genitals. Finally,
engage in more sexual touch, including genital touch or light stimulation. You
can choose to engage in sex afterward.
Be spontaneous. One of the most common ways a sex life can become mundane is that it becomes a routine. Maybe you only ever have sex in the mornings, or on particular days when you get a break from work, school, or kids. Spice things up by having sex at unexpected times, in unexpected ways, or in unexpected places. Further, don’t be afraid to masturbate; masturbation can be a healthy part of a relationship.
