We don’t mean to alarm you, but it’s Valentine’s Day this Wednesday.

They’re… steamy. So proceed with caution.
1. Make time for sex
We have such busy lives, the reality is that if we don’t make time for intimacy with our partner, it doesn’t happen – or it only happens late at night when you’re both tired. Making time for sex ensures that it happens and allows you to relax and enjoy it more.

2. Take your time
Spending at least 20 minutes in foreplay can enhances enjoyment and increases your chance of having an orgasm. Relax and take your time so you can really enjoy yourselves.
3. Introduce a blindfold
Taking away the sense of sight involves a lot of trust and can build intimacy. It can also enhances the other senses such as touch.
4. Pleasure yourself for your lover
Our lovers love to see us enjoying ourselves. Self-pleasure in an incredible, intimate, playful way to begin love-making. Spice things up by giving your partner a little show of your pleasure. Yes, it’s vulnerable, but that’s what makes it so beautifully intimate.
