Five signs you need to spice up your sex life
A healthy sex life is crucial for a couple's overall mental, physical and emotional well-being. However, with the passage of time, the sexual spark that was there in the beginning, might begin to fade away in long-term relationships or marriages. Although such a scenario is quite normal for most couples, here are five signs that mean you need to spice up your sex life.
Sign #1: You don't talk about sex with your partner
It is vital to talk about sex with your partner. In long-term relationships, couples might start taking each other's likes and dislikes for granted. But unfortunately, it doesn't help. It is imperative to consistently communicate about what you would and wouldn't like your partner to do in bed. If done right, sexual communication will help you get more satisfying as well as safer sex.
Sign #2: Romance for you is limited to bedroom only
Sometimes, taking focus off the climax can help. Couples who feel a reduced sense of sexual desire over a period of time are advised to practise alternate forms of intimacy. These could be anything from mutual massage to showering together, cuddling or even going on a date (why not?). This will help improve the emotional equation between the partners, ultimately resulting in better sex.
Sign #3: You rush things in bed
It is common sense that in long-term relationships and marriages, things are bound to get routine and monotonous. This implies that unlike new couples, you'll not always be in a mood for sex. So, what a couple needs to do is try and set the mood before getting busy under the sheets. Take time to relax before doing the deed and indulge in foreplay.
Sign #4: You are too busy for sex
A common problem among couples is that after a long day at work, they just feel too tired for any action in the bedroom. Lack of sleep and sleeping disorders might also be responsible for your loss of interest in sex. Get enough sound sleep each day to maintain a healthy libido. In case you can't find a solution, consult your doctor.
Sign #5: You no longer experiment
Having sex regularly with your partner just isn't enough. Doing the same thing over and over is bound to make things monotonous and routine. Hence, try something new. For instance, try moving to some other part of the house for the act, or anything that gets you excited about sex.
