Chapter Three

EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

There's no doubt about it,

stepping out of your sexual comfort zone can be daunting.

But exploring new ground, switching things up and living out your fantasies

can lead not only to better sex, but to improved intimacy and trust.

There are many ways to spice up your sex life -

here are some ideas on where to start.

Have better sex

Rediscover the pleasure of sex by introducing a little variety. It's the spice of life, after all. Try some new moves - use our sex position cards or best sex positions guide or look to the time-tested Kama Sutra for inspiration, and add a new tingling or warming lube into the mix.

Oldies can be goodies - popular sex positions can get a new lease of life with a few little changes. Turn up the heat on missionary by wrapping your legs around his waist to allow for deeper penetration, or place a pillow underneath you to change the angle for better access to your G-spot.

We all lead busy lives, so seize the opportunity whenever you can. Hop in the shower with him in the morning, or get a whole new use out of your table. Sex outdoors is risky, which makes it even more arousing.

Introduce Sex Toys

Sex toys are an easy and fun way to spice things up. Shop for one together to make sure it works for both of you. Start with a small and discreet bullet vibe and spice up foreplay by using it on his nipples and inner thighs, then slip it into his hand during sex for him to return the favour.

Couple's rings are fun for everyone, and come in a variety of materials. Soft stretchy rings are a good way to start. Using plenty of lube, slip it over his cock to help him stay harder for longer. Try one with an attached bullet designed to stimulate your clit at the same time.

Love Eggs are versatile and discreet, and can be worn internally or resting against your clit while your partner controls the vibrations via a remote control. They can also add a secret spark to a dinner date, romantic walk or even the weekly shopping trip...

What is bondage?

Thanks to the soaring popularity of erotica, bondage is big news. Far from dungeons and gimp masks, bondage can be erotic and sensual. Focusing on trust and exploration, it's an opportunity to leave your day-to-day life behind you and let someone else take the lead... or vice versa.

Sharing fantasies is good way to start. If there's a naughty novel on your bedside table he may already know you're curious. Read him your favourite scenes, or bookmark them for him to look at himself. Remember, finding out what turns you on is going to turn him on. There's nothing sexier than confidence.

Start with restraints and try adding a blindfold to heighten other senses. Tease with light touches, and use a feather tickler to make him tingle. Bondage starter kits are the perfect choice for beginners.

Top Tip

Hair pulling can be surprisingly sensual, and a turn on for both of you. But it's also easy to get wrong. Try sliding your fingers up her neck and gently entwining your fingers in her hair. Pull her head back firmly but gently to kiss or bite her throat. Keep your fingers in the roots of her hair for better control and to avoid breaking the hair.

Try Something New

Role play is a great way to introduce fetish sex to your relationship. Go to a bar separately and bump into each other as if you are meeting for the first time.

Did You Know?

Any body part or item of clothing may be an object of sexual fetishism, but shoe and foot fetishes are the two most common.

Act out your Fantasies

Roleplay is an exciting way to try something new in the bedroom. If you're nervous, slip into a sexy costume and fake it 'til you make it.

Think about a scenario that would turn you on, and cheekily suggest it to your partner. Text him or leave a note - telling him he's got a detention with you tonight will nudge him in the right direction.

Sexy games can be a great introduction to roleplay. Sex Scenarios cards give you scenes to act out and inspire you - a night in with a board game has never been sexier.

Whether it's a full-on costume or your sexiest lingerie under a shirt and tie, go for something that will make you feel fearless and confident.
