7 Steamy Tips For A Sexy Night

You've got your lover to yourself tonight. The house is going to be quiet. The neighbors are even out of town. You can take your time, express yourself. But what are you going to do to make the night really special?

If dinner is part of the plan, try eating after you make love. Have a small snack like cheese and crackers or crudites and a glass of wine while you chat and relax, then make your way to the bedroom. That way you won't be lethargic from eating a big meal, but you'll still have enough energy for a love workout.


Or try a fun surprise. Send your lover out on a quick little errand. While your lover is gone, get a string or ribbon and tie it to the inside of the doorknob with a note to follow it. Drape the ribbon all around the house so that it leads your lover to the bedroom, where you have been patiently waiting.


Have a new toy all ready to rock and roll. Or have two toys, one for you and one for your lover, because both sexes like toys. Try a new lubricant while you're at it.


Have you tried a heightener? There are products that are designed to increase blood circulation to the genitals, making them a little more swollen and sensitive. These days you can even find such products at your neighborhood drugstore.


Change the sheets, take a shower, and ask your lover to do the same, or to join you. Soaping up can be a prelude to some wonderful love-making. Some couples like to make love in the shower; experiment!


Try being more vocal. Tell your lover what you want him or her to do to your body, and then tell your lover what you will do to his or hers. Make noise, moan, groan and call your lover's name. When you make sound, you are waking up another of your senses and heightening arousal.


Share a fantasy. If you haven't done this before, start small with a fantasy starring you and your lover, maybe nude on a tropical beach or on a hike in the desert on a hot day when any clothing is too much.

All lovers find that their love-making goes stale. Couples find what works and use it again and again, but eventually what was novel and felt good becomes just another routine. When you have time and privacy, try out one of these ideas to shake it up and find new ways to explore pleasure together.
