Six steps to a happy sex life


1. Bag Some Bedroom Magic with Before-Play
No surprise that women blame a lack of romance for a lack of sex! Time to nurture "before-play"u00a0between you ufffdif you've had a row, or are stressed after work, let him know you need someu00a0cuddles and affection.u00a0Don't expect him to be a mind reader - men aren't good at that. Ask him for a compliment, too.u00a0Men respond to straight talking so tell him that feeling appreciated and loved-up gets you in theu00a0mood for proper foreplay, reports The Sun.u00a0Having before-play creates the right mood to get turned on. So include things like always havingu00a0mood music ready to play, and candles to light your supper - even if it's a takeaway!

2. Get Steamy!

Time to turn up the heat. Why not suggest having a candlelit bath or sexy shower together.u00a0Subtle candlelight flatters your figure! Take time lathering each other up with some sexy-scentedu00a0shower gel. Have a couple warm towels ready to dry each other off before you tumble into bed.u00a0When you indulge each other in steamy little pleasures it'll give you loads of ideas for moreu00a0sensual tricks to tempt each other into bed. You could offer to wash his hair and caress his scalpu00a0gently. Show him a light touch and then ask him to return the favour.u00a0Once you're out of the shower dare him to paint your fingernails. As he strokes each of youru00a0fingers gently it produces the love hormone oxytocin in your bodies.

Who says you have to eatu00a0at the table! This is the perfect setting for drizzling some sweet honey down your cleavage for himu00a0to lick off - forget about putting it on toast!

4. Letting Him Know What You Want

Believe me he wants to know what turns you on! If you're feeling a bit shy then show him ratheru00a0than tell him what to do. Take his hand and guide it gently around your pleasure-zones. Pauseu00a0where it feels fab saying, "I love it when you touch me here."u00a0Also when he happens to touch you just right "big him up" - men love praise so heap it on himu00a0and he'll do more of that feel-good foreplay.u00a0If he's a bit heavy-handed (true of so many men!) use this trick ufffd take his finger and gently sucku00a0and lick it - then tell him that's the sort of pressure you love.u00a0And definitely use a warm and sensual voice to encourage him. Crikey, even just hearing youru00a0little sex-sighs will make him all ears! So use those little sighs and moans to communicate youru00a0pleasure.



5. How To Find Out What He Wants!

He might be a bit shy to tell you what he likes. So ask, ask and ask again! A good way to ask isu00a0to give him some options. Say something like, "do you prefer it when I stroke or squeeze youu00a0here, and more gently or firmly?" This'll give him the confidence to be honest.u00a0If he needs extra encouragement tell him you find it exciting being told what to do. Turn this into au00a0playful sex-game where he's the boss and you're his sexy PA and he's going to dictate to youu00a0what he wants done!



6. Your Private Pleasure Pack

Definitely make your sex-life simpler by keeping a little "pleasure pack" in your bedside table.u00a0Then when the mood strikes you'll be ready for some frolics with your fella.u00a0No annoying searching about for things like your favourite lubricant, condoms, sex toys, blind foldu00a0for a kinky sex game, sexy stockings and silky knickers, tissues, massage oils, etc.
