Tips for women

If you're wondering how to sweep your beloved off his feet, here are a few tips that you can try:

1. Converse during sex

There's nothing that can turn a man on like some dirty talk within the sheets so make sure that you're vocal the next time you have sex. Communicate well and lead your partner by telling him what you like and what you don't like.

The more open you are, the more enthusiastically he'll respond, ultimately culminating in a memorable night for you as a couple.

Experiment and innovate

You should try out different positions that you're sure he'll like, and come up with creative ideas on your own to make them more interesting. Ensure that you can pull off the positions before you take the big leap, though, because some positions are not as easy as they seem to be in the movies.

Choose a position that you're both comfortable in, so that you can have a good time together. Introducing edibles during sex is also a great idea, because there's nothing quite like tasting chocolate syrup right off your partner's fingers.

Be supportive

Erectile problems happen, but this does not mean that you both have to spend a grumpy time in bed. Men are very sensitive when it comes to issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and you should handle these problems carefully.

Indulge in a lot of foreplay, even if you can't arouse him, and make him feel more comfortable. Sometimes these problems have wholly mental roots, so he may start responding once he's mentally clear.

Remember to lubricate

Lubrication is a very important part of sex, and only with proper lubrication will penetration be easy and smooth. Sometimes penetration can be quite hard because it's impossible for women to be well lubricated every time in bed, and buying lubricants can come in handy in such moments.

Moreover, a lubricant can have more purposes than one, and you and your partner can come up with different ways in which you can use such lubricants during foreplay.

Feel beautiful, be sexy

Feeling beautiful and being sexy is very important in bed, and this doesn't mean that you have to dominate him in bed or wear revealing clothes. Beauty or sexiness lies in how you carry yourself, so get a mental makeover and keep him begging for more!
