4. Be spontaneous 

Routine may be a vibe killer but we can’t deny the fact that it’s part of our daily activities. So, find ways to make it fun instead. Give him a mind blowing blow job if he is working late from the house. Make if more intense by asking him not to stop working while you drive him nuts- not literally. Have a quickie while preparing a meal in the kitchen. Driving out together? Tease them while they drive. You may want to watch the road so you don’t have an accident. It’s all about intimacy.

5. Share your desires and fantasies 

Thinking of new things to do together? Ask your partner to share their fantasies with you. However, do not expect your partner to readily share your fantasies with you immediately. Some persons are ashamed of their fantasies and have been made to believe it’s wrong or to have one. If this happens, first work towards making your relationship a safe space for your partner. Not sure how to go about it?  Fill out lists online with your partner and compare your answers. Who knows? You may get enough ideas to last you a long time. 

6. Try rough sex

Verbal rough play can begin with dirty name calling: using terms like slut, bitch and so on. Always make sure consent is involved before getting started.
