Winter is now officially over which means it’s time to leave hibernation and break out of your comfort zone – making it the perfect time to try something new between the sheets!
Like other parts of your relationship, your sex life needs care and attention if you want to keep the spark alive. However, in a long term relationship it can be easy to get stuck in routine, which might leave you feeling like the va-va-voom has left the bedroom.
Durex Sex and Relationship Expert Susan Quilliam gives her tips on how to get out of your sex rut this spring:
Organize your time
Almost always, what keeps couples stuck in a bedroom rut isn’t lack of motivation but lack of time and space – meaning you never get to experiment. So this spring, put your sex life topof your ‘to do’ list by setting aside regular evenings, an entire day, or sneaking off for an indulgent weekend where you can relax and rediscover pleasure.
Kick start your desire
Especially if you’re a contented couple, passion can so easily get put on the back burner as you happily get on with your lives. This means your bodies may need reminding of how good it feels to touch, fondle and caress. So if you’re not already doing so, start sleeping naked. Then begin each day with a full-body hug and some deep French kisses. If you don’t have time to follow through in the morning, take more hugs and kisses as you get into bed at night – then see where your arousal leads. Even if you don’t have sex every time, you’ll make sure your bodies remember what lovemaking really means.
Bring new life to your positions
It’s very easy to find three or four favourite intercourse positions – then use them every time and never ring the changes. For the next four times you make love, try one of your new ideas – and remember to use each of them regularly so you’ve added to your repertoire.
Revitalise your sex toys
If you’ve never included toys for her or for him in your love-play, make this month the time you start. Try the Durex Thrilling Touch with its simple controls and single speed so you get the pleasure you like easily and instantly. If you already know toys turn you on, make it ‘out with the old and in with the new’. Durex Sensual Bliss is our uniquely-shaped vibrator: the rounded sides deliver gentle, deep stimulation while the tapered edge offers focussed, sharp pleasure
