Hedgehogs emerge from hibernation, golden daffodils poke through the soil, and the dawn chorus greets you as you open your curtains. Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to reawaken your senses and rejuvenate your sex life.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to join a swinger’s club or master every position in the Kama Sutra to add extra sexual sparkle. There are small and meaningful resets you can make to freshen up your bedroom antics and add an energetic spring to your step.
Look after yourself
It might take two to tango, but enjoying an active sex life requires energy and enthusiasm from both of you. Take care of yourself by eating well, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and exercising.
We all have our vices but try to cut back on smoking and drinking for the sake of your health. Looking good and feeling good can give you a huge boost in the bedroom.
Talk about sex
An honest chat about your sexual wants, needs, likes and dislikes is the perfect way to kickstart Spring. Talking openly with your partner about sex, and sharing insecurities with one another, will knock down barriers and bring you closer.
This is also a good time to share your sexual ideas and fantasies, potentially opening the door to new sexual experiences.
Prioritize time together
It’s easy to let spending time together slip down your list of priorities, but as Spring approaches make a promise to plan quality time together. Depending on your schedule this could be a regular weeknight date or a weekend treat.
Go for a romantic stroll, cook a meal together or just snuggle up on the sofa. Scheduling sex might sound mechanical, but if you’re busy bees it will help you carve out time to get in the mood and get it on.
Make time for foreplay
There’s nothing wrong with a quickie, especially if you’re feeling spontaneous. However, a leisurely build up to sex allows for a pleasurable and intense experience. Foreplay doesn’t have to be confined to the bedroom.
Kiss your partner as you pass by and whisper in their ear or give their ass a cheeky squeeze. When you do make it to the bedroom, take your time. Slowly strip, kiss and caress, touch each other all over, and savor every moment.
Talk dirty
You don’t have to get into porn mode to talk dirty to your partner, just telling them how hot they are and how much you want to make love to them could be enough to set their pulse racing.
If you’re a bit daunted by oral, try exchanging dirty messages or sending naughty photographs. Make sure you have each other’s consent first, and check there are no prying eyes when you click to open!
Collaborations & fave brands
Show affection
Physical intimacy is an integral part of a relationship, but it’s not all about getting horizontal. Simply showing affection can foster closeness and boost your emotional connection.
Holding hands, putting an arm around your partner, and a good solid hug demonstrate that you care. You might not be up for a full-on snog in the street, but a snatched kiss will put a smile on your lover’s face.
Engage in self-love
Love yourself and get to know your body by masturbating. Find a quiet space and set the mood, then take the time to touch and caress your body. Stroke your limbs and run your fingers over erogenous zones.
Masturbation helps you connect with yourself, so you can figure out what feels good and how to earn yourself a knee trembling orgasm. You can use your fingers, hands or a toy – enjoy experimenting.
Get hands-on with mutual masturbation
Explore with your partner by getting hands-on with mutual masturbation.
You can take it in turns to watch each other masturbate, or you can engage in self-love simultaneously. Watching each other can be a huge turn on, and you’ll be able to get the lowdown on what your lover likes.
Make a change
If you usually reserve Saturday nights for a pizza, a movie and sex, then maybe it’s time to change things up.
Shake things up with a naughty weekend bedroom brunch. Prepare breakfast in bed and feast on strawberries, pastries, and bucks fizz, before feasting on each other.
Try something new together
A hobby for two can be a wonderful way to engage with your partner, allowing you to spend quality time together whilst doing something different. Classics include learning to dance and hiking to scenic spots together, but there are plenty of options.
You can also make a few interesting swaps – if you usually go to the cinema, go to the theatre instead. Resolve to get outside, visit new places and rediscover each other.
Be kind
Such a simple concept, but something we tend to overlook, is being kind to one another. When your partner comes in from work after a long day, take their coat, hand them a drink and ask them about their day.
It’s easy to pass each other by, but by acknowledging your other half and their feelings you’re making them feel loved, valued and special.
Ready for a sexy Spring reset?
You don’t need to make sweeping changes to pep up your sex life. Simply spending time together can make a huge amount of difference. Shake up your routines, adopt a positive mindset, and resolve to put in the effort that your relationship deserves.
Spring is a time for rejuvenation, and it’s the perfect time to reset and boost your sex life.
