Try some of these strategies to enhance your relationship and improve your sex life.

1. Walk in wearing your favorite lingerie (or nothing at all).

While, obviously, you can’t walk into the living room in the buff if you have roommates or children at home, this is a great way to appeal to a long-term partner when you’re alone in the house. Can’t sneak out into the common areas of your home wearing a fancy outfit? Consider stretching out across the bed and waiting for your partner to arrive. Make sure to read your partner’s mood! While showing up in lingerie or naked is a great way to get things started when you and your partner are both feeling a little sexy, it might not work as well as you’d hoped when your partner is feeling tired or just not in the mood.

2. Get things started on your own.

Know that you’re going to be slipping to bed a little before your partner? Try getting things started before your partner joins you. You can stimulate yourself manually or break out your vibrator. Using Crescendo, for example, can be a great way to stimulate yourself gently, increasing arousal without necessarily going all the way to orgasm before your partner can join you. Once your partner enters the room, offer a sexy smile, and invite them to join you. Discover more reasons to let your partner watch you masturbate here.
