10 tips to ignite the sexual fires

By Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D.

Put effort into your sex life -- and you'll reap the bedroom rewards
Tips 1-5

We all admire couples who seem to have found the secret to keeping their sexual fires burning. Luckily, there are many ways to relight the torch. It just takes a little energy.

When trying to heal a relationship or even give it a sexual tune-up, one of the most difficult things to do is to figure out just what to do. To aid you in that quest, here is a list of my top 10 tips for adding some fuel to your fire.

1. Act sexy and you'll feel sexy.
Play the part by setting the scene with candlelight and soft music, softer words, lingerie, and great smells. This creates a fanciful mood for both of you, and sex will be unavoidable.

2. Make your bedroom a romantic hideaway.
Get some silk sheets and soft lights. Having a place to go when the feelings come over you is important to keeping romance alive.

3. Talk about sex.
Call your partner in the middle of the day and tell them you can't wait to make love to them. Drop little sexual innuendoes and talk about sex. Conversations about love may be one of the most underrated aphrodisiacs.

4. Share your secret romantic fantasy with your partner and ask them to tell you theirs.
Then make plans to play your fantasies out. Just the anticipation will add to your romance, and the gift of giving each other what you desire will be something that you will never forget.

5. Make love at least once a week.
This may be the most important and most disregarded rule of sexual intimacy. Connecting in this way is something that both of you can look forward to all week long as your special time together.
