Do you feel that your sex life has not been as satisfying as you want it to be? Some couples go through periods in which their sex life is dwindling or sporadic. Sometimes, our busy lives can get in the way of intimacy. If you and your partner are not happy with how your sex life is going, this can negatively affect your whole relationship. Having a great sex life comes down to some simple factors. This article will address those areas to help you and your partner improve and achieve a great sex life.
Having a great sex life involves a lot of different factors. It is more than just the act of sex itself. In order to have a great sex life, it involves factors such as good communication, being comfortable with one another, relaxing, and taking the time to enjoy foreplay prior to sexual intercourse. This article will provide some helpful tips to help you achieve the sex life that you and your partner desire.
Spend Quality Time With Each Other
Life does have a habit of getting in the way. Taking care of the kids, cleaning your house, being tired from working, and other daily factors can seem to limit the time you can spend getting intimate with your partner. It is important to make time for one another. Whether you set aside a specific date night or make time before bed during the week, it is important that you and your partner give each other this quality time to spend with one another.
Communicate With One Another
Open communication is very important to any relationship and is vital to having a great sex life. Being able to share your feelings with one another will make you feel more comfortable in your relationship and bring you and your partner closer together. If you and your partner are able to talk about your feelings or desires, this will also make your intimate life more enjoyable.

Be Comfortable With Your Body
The way we feel about ourselves can definitely affect how we behave in the bedroom. It is understandable that you may feel self conscious about your body. With magazine ads that portray men and women with perfect bodies, it is not a surprise that we look at ourselves at times with discontent. However, It is important to understand that no one is perfect. Be comfortable with all of your extra curves. If you or your partner are continuing to feel unhappy about your bodies, then take the time to spend with each other and work out together. Even going for a brisk walk can help you to get in shape and give you and your partner the opportunity to do something together. If you are self conscious about the way you look, it will impact how you interact with your partner.
Relax
It is important to relax when you are getting intimate with your partner. If your mind is on work, money, or other things besides what is going on in the bedroom, this can negatively affect your sexual experience. Let yourself go. When you are having sex, this can also be a good stress relief too. Just enjoy it.
Foreplay
Don't just rush into the intercourse part. Take time to explore one another. Get a little frisky. Sex can become boring if it starts to feel like a routine. I was talking to a girlfriend of mine who is very dissatisfied with her sex life with her husband because the foreplay is lacking. As much as she is a sexual person, her husband felt that his penis was enough to satisfy her and rushed through the foreplay. We do have another article dedicated to foreplay: Foreplay And Why It's So Important.
Foreplay is definitely a key part to having a great sex life. It not only builds you up to the final act of intercourse, but is more intimate. Plus, almost half of women are unable to have an orgasm on just intercourse alone. Take time to pleasure one another. If you want to be adventurous, add a Vibrator, Dildo or a Vibrating Ring to your play. Maybe experiment with some light bondage play to add some variation to your sex life. If you're new to the world of sex toys, fear not- we have a great article on vibrators: Intro to Vibrators.
