20 Tips to Enjoy a Fulfilling Sexual Life - Lybrate
There comes a time in every couple’s life when the sexuality between them can take a nosedive, regardless of how happy they look together. There can be certain reasons—such as stress, monotony, lack of interest, and so on—behind this drop in intimacy between long-time couples. There are even couples who think that no amount of date nights or pillow talk can rekindle their sex life. However, that doesn’t sound correct.
Through this article, we bring a number of very effective and useful tips for you that can breathe new life into your sex life, no matter how old your relationship with your partner is. Read through the following tips and recommendations very carefully if you also look forward to revitalizing your sex life:
1. You must have heard about kegel, or pelvic floor, exercise. Haven’t you? If not, then you must now realize that your pelvic, or kegel, muscles get weaker with time owing to a number of factors, such as pregnancy, age, etc. Weak pelvic muscles start interfering with your sex performance. Therefore, doing kegel exercise can tremendously help you make the best of your sex life.
2. Keep in mind that you should never tend to treat sex as an everyday task or a chore. There are times when it becomes very inconvenient to find time for leisure activities in between tight schedules. However, if you tend to treat sex as a chore, you will still do it, which is not advisable. Sex is not something that you can rush through. Tell yourself to only make love to your partner when you have plenty of time to feel and relish each moment of it. Otherwise, your sex life can breathe its last at any time.
3. You should never miss the foreplay before sexual intercourse. We never said that there is anything wrong with spontaneous sex. However, you must realize that women may take longer to be completely aroused than men. So, make sure that you are both equally aroused before having intercourse. Perfect arousal can stimulate blood flow to your genitals and result in a satisfying time in bed with your partner.
4. Have frequent medical check-ups that can rule out the possibility of any underlying disorders or conditions behind your unpleasant sex life. Every couple who thinks that their sex life is not as satisfying as it should be must follow this suggestion without second thoughts.
5. You should never shy away from talking to your healthcare provider or gynecologist if something is persistently bothering you. Never withhold any such information or issue from your personal doctor or gynecologist, as it may negatively impact your sexual life.
6. According to a number of recent research and studies, working out on a regular basis can ameliorate or revitalize your sex life. So, never miss your workout sessions if you still look forward to having great and fulfilling sex with your partner.
7. One should keep in mind that what they eat dictates the kind of sex life they have. Believe us or not, poor food choices can take the edge off your sex life before time. So, eat more healthy food and avoid junk as much as you can. You may consult your doctor or dietician regarding this. They can make you perfect diet plans for better sexual experiences.
8. Never shy away from initiating sex if you feel like having it. Also, talk to your partner and ask them to follow the same rule. You must know your partner’s desires and respect them at the same time.
9. Try your best to increase dialogue with your partner and be more expressive with them. You must know that lack of communication is one of the most common root causes of dissention or discord between couples. So, keep in mind, always be communicative as well as a good listener with your partner.
10. Take good care of your cardiovascular system, which is essential for a healthy and pleasant sex life. Sexual health issues such as erectile dysfunction mostly appear because of a lack of blood circulation. Therefore, a healthy heart can enhance your sexual performance like nothing else.
11. You should never let that charm and spark between you and your partner die. Take frequent long drives together, listening to your favorite songs from the days when you started dating each other; go on romantic weekend trips with your partner. Do whatever it takes to keep making them realize their place in your life. If you follow this suggestion, you will start to notice a positive change in your sex life.
12. There are a number of factors—such as weight gain, midlife crisis, signs of ageing—that can take a toll on your self-confidence, which can subsequently kill your enthusiasm for sex or physical affection. Therefore, it is advisable that you take good care of yourself to have a fulfilling sex life.
13. Leave your professional life issues or work concerns outside your bedroom as you enter it with your partner. Stress can kill your interest in sexual affection or intimacy with your beloved partner. So, it is better to not mingle your professional and personal lives together.
14. Avoid drinking too much of an alcoholic drink, especially before you go about making love. Excessive alcohol consumption is known to kill a person’s libido, and it can take a toll on your sex life.
15. There are times when the smallest changes can negatively affect your sex life, even when the changes are not necessarily negative. These changes may include switching jobs, a newborn child, and some sort of mental dilemma, among others. In such situations, you and your partner should be as positive as possible and tell yourselves that the disturbing circumstances are not permanent.
16. You should make this a practice to keep checking on your hormones. It is very possible that the reason behind your reduced sexual drive is hormonal imbalance.
17. Try to spend some quality time with your partner more often when there’s nobody around except the two of you. Don’t be bound by family obligations on certain important occasions, such as your wedding anniversary or the birthdays of you and your partner.
18. Discover your partner’s as well as your own fantasies, and be more enthusiastic when it comes to making love. Spend more time on your beautiful relationship with your beloved partner.
19. Keep exploring and trying new sex positions, and don’t just stick to the same old ones. Avoid doing anything that can bring a sense of monotony or boredom to your sexual encounters. Keep your sex life forever fresh.
