Whether you\u2019ve always stuck to the basics in bed and you\u2019d like to try something new or your previously exciting sex life has fizzled, here are 10 ways to shake things up between the sheets.<\/p>\n
1. Perform a striptease<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick your favourite sexy song, turn down the lights and have your partner sit on a chair. Trace sexy circles with your hips, bend over and touch your toes, and straddle his lap. If you want to tease him even more, tell him he\u2019s not allowed to touch you until the striptease is over. <\/p>\n 2. Leave the bedroom<\/strong><\/p>\n If you wait until you crawl between the sheets at the end of a long day to have sex and go through the same old motions, you\u2019re likely to get bored. Get it on in the kitchen, on the dining table, on the couch, in the laundry room or anywhere else that feels new and exciting.<\/p>\n 3. Read erotica<\/strong><\/p>\n The recent surge in popularity of books like Fifty Shades of Grey has brought erotica to the mainstream. But instead of cowering under the blankets with a flashlight to read it, why not read passages out loud to your partner? It might feel awkward at first, but I bet you won\u2019t even make it through the first sexy scene before you\u2019re creating your very own.<\/p>\n 4. Use ice cubes<\/strong><\/p>\n Stimulate your partner\u2019s senses by holding an ice cube between your lips and running it gently all over his body. Start with his lips, and then move to his neck, ears, shoulders, chest, nipples, arms, stomach and legs. Make your way to his genital area and gently run the ice cube over it until he begs for mercy.<\/p>\n 5. Watch a dirty movie<\/strong><\/p>\n Porn used to be the exclusive domain of men, but there are plenty of couple-friendly options to choose from these days. Adam & Eve and Digital Playground offer a range of high-quality productions with sexy storylines that are more enticing to women than the traditional male-oriented fare. Or check out websites like ForTheGirls.com and ErikaLust.com.<\/p>\n 6. Use sex toys<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a naughty little trip to your local couple-friendly adult store together and pick out some fun props. Have fun tying each other up with some fuzzy handcuffs or try warming lube, which heightens sensation. You could also pick out a vibrator to use together. If you\u2019re too shy to go into an adult store, shop online from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n 7. Pretend to be strangers<\/strong><\/p>\n Plan to meet up at a bar or restaurant and pretend it\u2019s your first encounter. Start by asking each other questions about things you haven\u2019t discussed in ages, such as places you\u2019ve travelled. As the evening progresses, move on to sexy talk. You\u2019ll soon be yelling, \u201cCheque, please!\u201d<\/p>\n
