Seven Sensual Ways to Improve Your Sex Life

By Dr E. C. Gordon


When you have been in a relationship for years or even decades, your sex life often becomes something of a routine. Once you have learned about the things that your partner enjoys, it is tempting to just repeat these specific acts. After all, they are successful, and trying new things comes with the possibility of failure. However, once sex becomes predictable then it starts to become merely pleasant as opposed to passionate, and from there it can easily become boring. In addition, couples often become rather lazy about sex as the years wear on, all but eliminating foreplay or allowing it to turn into a cursory process. Read on to learn about seven ways to add some sensuality to your sex life and improve your relationship in the process.

1) Make foreplay last much longer:
A lot of couples will simply kiss for a few minutes before moving on to intercourse, or pay lip service to the idea of foreplay by briefly caressing each other before getting undressed. However, if you do this then you are missing out on a lot of intimacy and on the chance to make the sex itself more intense. Firstly, sex without foreplay can be quite impersonal and can sometime makes one or both of you feel somewhat ‘used’. On the other hand, taking the time to really explore your partner’s body with your hands and mouth will make them feel strongly desired, and being treated this way in return will create the same feelings in you. Secondly, if foreplay is drawn out then the anticipation will make you both much more lustful. This is likely to make you much more enthusiastic when you eventually make love, and equally likely to increase the level of satisfaction that you feel at the end of the night.

2) Experiment with using a blindfold:
When you are blindfolded, all of your other senses are heightened. This means that you are likely to experience more sexual pleasure. In addition, you will enjoy the excitement of wondering when and where your partner’s next touch will come. Wearing a blindfold during foreplay or sex is also a great way to cautiously experiment with being submissive to you partner, and the lack of control that you have over the situation can be thrilling. Next time, trade places and be the one to blindfold your partner.

3) Learn how to give each other a thorough massage:
A massage creates deep relaxation and the sort of intimacy that leads to better lovemaking. If you have the time and the interest, you could take a short massage course in order to learn how to expertly relieve tension in your partner. Alternatively, you might just want to shop for a smooth and pleasantly scented massage oil. Some of these oils are designed for foreplay and will be specially scented in a way that enhances sensuality. In addition, some flavored sexual lubricants double as massage oils, so you can combine massage with some more substantial foreplay.

4) Try abstaining from sex for a while:
Talk to your partner and agree on a length of time during which you will not make love at all. During this period, enjoy all of the forms of physical intimacy that young lovers tend to experience before they decide to have sex. When intercourse is not an option, you will work harder to please each other in all of these ways. When you finally return to having sex, you will hopefully hold on to all that you have learned and decide to incorporate it into fun and sensual foreplay.

5) Take a bath together:
Before you even get down to real foreplay, consider going for a hot bath together. The image of a couple in a bubble bath gently lit by candles may sound like a tired cliché, but the experience can be both relaxing and highly intimate. You might try surprising your partner with a bubble bath after work, and you could share a bottle of wine or some favourite chocolate while you bathe. After the bath, you will probably find that you are in the ideal mood for slow, sensual sex.

6) Have sex somewhere new:
In addition to approaching sex somewhat differently, you might want to start thinking about where you have it. A new location will help to spark new behaviours and encourage you to try new positions. If you always make love in bed, try moving to the shower or the sofa. If you have an entirely private yard, have sex outside in the summer.

7) Pick out lingerie together:
If you are female, encourage your partner to go shopping with you so that you can get some help and input when picking out sexy new bras and underwear. If your partner is female, go shopping and pick out a surprise (or find a few potential gifts online and let her choose which ones she likes best).


If you keep these seven tips in mind and work to include at least half of them in the way that you approach sex with your partner, your sex life will become more sensual and less predictable. You may also want to explore some more adventurous amendments to your sex life, but you should first start with the basics by working to create a greater degree of intimacy and a larger amount of sexual chemistry.

How to Realize Your Sexual Fantasies With Your Partner

How to Realize Your Sexual Fantasies With Your Partner

by Calvin Kelly

How to realize your sexual fantasies with your partner

We all have sexual fantasies. Some are tame idiosyncrasies while others can be intricately hardcore. Either way, if you want them to play out in real life, you’re likely to need a willing partner. The crucial element in undertaking the realization of these ideas is trust between yourself and your significant other. Especially when they may be stepping out of their comfort zone to make it happen. So how do you broach the subject and what rules should you follow to ensure that you both enjoy the experience?

Before opening the floor to fantasy confession, make sure your relationship is in a healthy state. It’s unlikely that you’ll both have the same fantasies, so at its core you’re dealing with compromise and nothing stunts this process like an unresolved argument. Choose an appropriate place where you can talk freely, and a time where you can both focus on the topic without any lurking interruptions. Begin by asking if there’s anything new they would like to try in the bedroom. Make it about what turns them on.

If they’re unsure, suggest minor experimentation at first. Don’t come flying out of the blocks with heavy bondage gear. Small steps will ensure there’s no shock factor that leads to him or her closing the door on fantasies for good. It’s important to make them believe that you want to fulfill their desires. At the end of the day you’re going to be asking them to play a part in your fantasy and they will be far more willing to participate if they feel you’re paying attention to their needs first. Give before you can take.

Once your partner has made a suggestion that you are both comfortable with, make sure you stick to what was discussed even in the heat of the moment. Obviously if they respond favorably during whatever is it you’ll be doing, then taking it up a notch is an option. But ask them first. Communication while you’re getting down and dirty is vital, it reduces the possibility of detracting, awkward moments. Talking will also pump up the eroticism. Hearing them verbally describe how good it feels and what else they’d like to do will definitely raise the level of intensity.

Once a dialogue has been opened regarding the fulfillment of fantasies and you have willingly entertained your partners ideas, your turn should come around automatically. If not, then it’s time for you to either lay down the law, or move on. In most cases however, they will be keen to reciprocate. As with their fantasy, start slow with yours. Small steps add anticipation to your sexual relationship, whereas if you go straight for your ultimate fantasy, it’ll be tougher to figure out what’s next, never mind the possibility of scaring them off for good.

No matter how intense your fantasies are, if you allow your partner to slowly adapt to them, you’re less likely to encounter hesitation or refusal. Below are a few good starting points for an array of the better known fantasies.

Bondage

Use everyday items like your partners tie or a stocking to secure them to a bed or table. It will feel less like actual bondage and more like you’re just playing around.

Sex toys

Start with a small, lipstick-sized vibrator, and use it externally to begin with. It’s about getting used to something else in the bed.

Exhibitionism

Try your own garden first before you take on a not so hidden public rendezvous. Make sure it’s late afternoon or evening so the light isn’t too harsh.

Domination

Tell your partner that the next time you’re getting frisky, it’s going to be all about them, but that you’re in control. If they flinch at something you’re doing, communicate and take a step back if necessary.

Role Play

Start the discussion over email or text so it’s less embarrassing than having it face to face. Keep the tone light and playful, humorous if possible.

Everyone has an inner deviant in them. Some let in come to the surface freely, while others don’t even know it exists. No matter which category your partner falls into, you can, through subtle suggestion, unselfish actions and clear communication, enjoy the realization of your fantasies. Start with opening the dialogue, take small steps, be aware of your partners physical and emotional responses and respect the boundaries you’ve both agreed upon. In this way, you can go further than you previously imagined and have incredible amounts of fun along the way

Love And Sex Toys Tips For Shopping And Sharing

Love And Sex Toys Tips For Shopping And Sharing

by Naomi Bergner

Whether your relationship is starting to feel stagnant or you just want something to spice up an evening, sex toys can add a playful level of fun to your life. There are now many online stores as well as retail options available, so shopping for these romantic playthings can be done in person or from the comfort of your home. The popularity of these establishments indicates a growing demand for variety and quality in adult entertainment.

Here are a few tips to remember when delving into the world of sex toys.

1. They’re toys, have fun. Many vibrators and other implements come in an array of bright colors and shapes which might look strangely alien at first. The more you read and observe, the more you’ll start to understand the form and function. If you are fortunate enough to have an adult store near you that carries these items, stop in and touch. Don’t be shy. Pick them up and hold them to observe the weight and feel. If your establishment is really on the ball and has included batteries, turn on vibrators and check the sound. Take a friend or your lover with you and go ahead and laugh.

2.  Start out easy. If this is a new experience, don’t go online and order the Screaming Banshee Deep Penetrating Orgasm Inducer. There are plenty of modest sex toys that won’t leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how to use them or limping in pain the next day. Go with your comfort level and make sure your partner is on board with you.

3.  Don’t buy one that’s bigger than your man. After you start out easy, you might be ready to move to the next level. Sure, it’s nice to have that extra large dildo around for those times you want an all-the-way full experience, but keep this one hidden. Your man might like the thought of you pleasuring yourself, but chances are he wants to be the biggest gun in your cabinet. There are plenty of other toys you can share together.

4.  Keep your goodies safe, clean and hidden. Any item that penetrates a body orifice should be clean, so make sure to wash your toys thoroughly after use. Check them for cracks, rips or tears every time. Have a “toy box” just for these items, and make sure they are well hidden from any prying eyes in your household.

5. Read reviews, ask questions. Most online toy sites have a product review section. Wander through this and if you have a question send an email. Many of these toys are pricey, so make sure you get what you want.

Using sex toys can take a relationship to a more intimate, stimulating level. Couples of all ages are exploring this territory and finding a new way to relate to their partners. Be bold, be innovative, have fun.

Couples Sex Toys: Revive The Spark In Your Relationship

How to Revive Your Relationship’s Spark (Top 6 Eye-Opening Secrets)

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, there were more than 700,000 divorce cases in 2017, and the number has been rising exponentially. Without a doubt, the high number of separations is a testament to the hurts and wounds that relationships are sustaining both in America and across the globe.

The article will enlighten you on what marriage and relationships therapists are saying about rekindling the fire of your relationship.  We suggest you and your partner come down to a Romantic Depot location near you and browse our adult sex toys, join a workshop and in doing so you’ll hit all 6 of these tips.

1. Communicate Frequently and Effectively

There are only three rules to successful relationships. These are:
– Communication
– Communication
– Communication
Most relationships turn sour because of poor or lack of communication. Effective communication, in contrast, enhances your connectivity with your partner and helps you exude positive emotions that strengthen your relationship’s bonds.

In addition, good communication enables you to address issues in your relationship clearly and in a non-judgmental manner, minimizing possibilities of conflicts and confusions.

2. Listen Actively

Active listening is as crucial as effective communication. M. Scott Peck, a renowned American psychiatrist, contended that it is not possible to fully listen while doing something else. To listen to your partner effectively, focus on what he/she is saying without daydreaming, desist from planning your response ahead of time, and be genuinely interested in what your partner is saying.

3. Ask! Don’t Assume

The “I thought…” has crippled many relationships, both new and long-term.

When in doubt of something, have the courage to ask for clarification instead of relying on assumptions. Sometimes (most times) your assumptions will be inaccurate, causing you to hurt the feelings/perceptions of your partner.

Avoid assumptions as much as possible because they impair understanding, dent communication, and ignite unreasonable conflicts in your relationship.

4. Redo What Made You Fall in Love in the First Place

The activities that you stopped doing could be the culprits for your depressing love life. To rekindle your relationship’s fire, make a list of the crazy things you used to do together after falling in love.

These things could be going out on Friday nights, preparing exquisite meals together, or playing video games on your laptop. Besides reviving your relationship’s spark and excitement, these activities make you fall in love again and again.

5. Compliment Your Partner but Don’t Overdo it

What gasoline is to vehicles is what compliments are to relationships. Compliments motivate your partner, foster a solid trust, and spice up your romance life. Dare to throw a genuine compliment to your partner when she buys a beautiful dress, when he gets a good hair cut, or when he perfectly matches his fashionable outfit.

6. Put Your Phone Down

Recent studies conducted on human interactions have unveiled that technology, especially the use of mobile phones, has drastically led to an increase in separation and divorce cases. Putting your phone down or turning it off eliminates the element of distraction, allowing you to engage in a deep and meaningful conversation with your partner. In effect, you will narrow your emotional distance and enjoy an enriching relationship.

Do you want to start enjoying your relationship with a whole new level of desire? Communicate effectively, listen attentively, avoid assumptions, start doing the things you did after falling in love, frequently compliment your partner, and minimize interactions with your phone.

6 Quick Tips on How to Spice Up Your Lovelife!

6 Quick Tips on How to Spice Up Your Lovelife!

Once the “honeymoon period” is over, and there’s no “thrill of the chase” to keep you on your toes, it’s easy to fall prey to a familiar routine in a relationship. When was the last time you had a conversation with your partner that wasn’t about the household chores, kids, scheduling logistics, or your jobs? Here are a few tips to spice up your lovelife:

1. Commit to a date night: Set aside a mutually-convenient day during your week, as a delightful escape just for the two of you. This doesn’t mean an expensive fine-dining and movie after. Date nights can be affordable – a day out at the beach, picnic at your favorite spot in the park, or the good old Netflix and chill.

2. Make the first move: Gone are the days when women were expected to wait and be wooed. Take charge, and turn the tables every once in a while. Make a reservation at his favorite Chinese place, book a weekend getaway for the both of you, learn something new in the bedroom, or sign up for a hobby you’re both into!

3. Remember the little things: Your gestures don’t need to be grand, and extravagant enough to make an impact. Leave a love-note, notice and compliment the new haircut, pick a household chore he hates and do it, hold hands in public, or surprise him with something on his wishlist!

4. Don’t fight on texts: Having a rough-relationship day? Furiously typing passive-aggressive, or long angry texts to each other won’t help. You both aren’t on your best behavior, so most likely, tones will be misconstrued, all nuance will be lost, and your fight will last longer. Hold off your rage-horses, till you’re in the same room and then take a go at it.

5. Plan a scavenger hunt: If he’s just the right kind of adventurous as you are, set up thoughtful clues for him to find, leading up to a big surprise (wink, wink – it could also be you, and the new thing in the bedroom we spoke about!) in the end. Start making a list of all your special memories including “your firsts” – date, kiss, I love you’s, vacation – and build your clues around them. Pick your hiding places, get some loved ones to be on the game for some extra fun, add little presents on the way, and voila – you’re looking at a memorable day to cherish, and bond with each other.

6. Explore Each Other: Intimacy is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship, without it you have a friendship.  Take the time to explore each others kinks, fantasies and bodies.  Visiting your local adult toy store together is an excellent opportunity to open up to each other about your desires that may have been missed until now.
