Introduction
I s your sex life stuck in a bit of a rut? Are you looking for something a bit more adventurous? Would you like a bit more variety? Perhaps you want to rev up your relationship, experiment to your dating heart's content or even (dare we say it) improve your bag of tricks.
If you've said 'yes' to any of the above, then this is the book for you. Delve deep into this fun, sensual guide to spicing up your sex life.
The key is to embark on this voyage of sexual discovery positively and in a safe environment. This starts with communication, honesty and respect. When all participants feel desired and cared for, the world is your aphrodisiacal oyster.
Within these pages you will find fifty luscious tips to take you through five levels of erotic play. We begin with the basics, then explore the 'vanilla' options (i.e. the simple but always favourite activities), which are followed by 'warmer' ideas. Then, when you're all hot and bothered and begging for more, it's time to dip into the even racier tips and, for those ready to take it to entirely new heights, the book ends with some spine-tingling BDSM activities.
Read it alone or with your partner, read it cover to cover, or just dip 'under the covers' for some breathtaking delights.
The basics
Before we move on to the naughtier pleasures to come, let's take a look at those oh-so-enjoyable first steps
Let's talk about sex
Let's start with the basics. All good relationships depend on communication and that includes talking honestly about sex with your partner. This can be a liberating experience, one that opens you up (in more ways than one) to a whole host of sexual delights. We're not starting straight off with talking dirty that comes later! so let's begin with just talking to your partner about what you like, what turns you on and what will get you even hotter
T he main thing to remember is that sex is meant to be fun, and that at times it can be downright embarrassing (we've all been there), so try to keep a sense of humour; if you can both laugh at an awkward situation, it won't be long before those giggles of embarrassment turn into moans of passion.
Talking about sex doesn't have to be reserved for the bedroom, although a comment in bed like 'That feels amazing!' or 'I love it when you circle your tongue like that' while in the moment is a simple and worthwhile act of encouragement that will spur on your eager lover. If you see something on TV or read something in a book that tickles your fancy, then tell him a simple 'That looks like fun', or 'The idea of doing X really turns me on' can soon lead to more than just conversation. If you feel a bit shy about saying what you like out loud, then put it in a text.
Listen to each other. Let your partner have their say as well and if you like the sound of what you're hearing, say so. Don't hold back the more you open up, the more opportunities you will have for exploring a whole world of erotic pleasure!
Making time to make out
Sometimes it can be hard to get quality time with each other uninterrupted , focused, just-the-two-of-you time. Here are some basic but essential tips :
Turn your phones off or if they are on 'silent', make sure 'vibrate' isn't on. In fact, turn off all electrical distractions such as computers and televisions; you've got something far more interesting to be doing!
Set the tone with some smooth, sensual music.
