Good sex is one aspect of life enjoyed by many in relationships as it has the potential to make us happy, especially when performed in a satisfactory way that pleases both partners. While sex might seem like an easy thing to do, it is not. Partners often need to take into account the other person’s sexual needs by constantly engaging in topics related to sex to find out if both parties are on the same page sexually.
It may later feel frustrating to be in a relationship where only one partner enjoys sex while the other one doesn’t, for whatever reason. The frustration might be from not being able to release oxytocin, a hormone associated with mood improvement released with every orgasm, shares health information hub WebMD.
We’ve compiled five ways to spice up your sex life for a sex life that can possibly be enjoyed by both partners, as shared by Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) Everyday.
Increase physical touch outside the bedroom
Physical touch is very important in a relationship, in the bedroom and out of the bedroom. The out-of-bedroom physical touch can include massages, hugs, bathing together, and constant kisses, explains the relationship specialist at (ABC) Everyday.
Learn about your body and your partner’s body
Learning about each other’s bodies may benefit your sex life as this is an easy way to understand what makes a person tick. One way of learning about your body is through masturbation, adds the broadcasting hub. “Everyone’s ultimate source of wisdom about their own sexuality is their own body,” says sex educator and author Dr Emily Nagoski, for ABC.
Make time for passionate sex
Good sex should not be rushed as it may lead to one partner feeling less satisfied. If always engaged in a hurry, sex might end up feeling like a chore to one partner, adds wellness information hub Healthline.
Try sex toys
The are many sex toys available on the market to spice things up in the bedroom for you and your partner. If properly used these can be a good feature in your sex life, adds the above information hub.
Consider seeing a therapist
You might have to seek professional help from a therapist. Seeing a sex therapist might be beneficial as couples can partake in “sexual education, sexual trauma, intimacy issues, physical difficulties, relationship problems, lacking or high desire, sexual pain and more,” adds the broadcaster.
