Over the last number of months, we’ve learned a thing or two about the wide range of contraceptives that are available on the market today.

Now, we are going to continue our focus on health by studying a wide range of topics relating to sex and sexual health.

Last week, we looked at all the myths about sex, this week we're bringing sexy back into your love life.

Bringing Sexy Back Into Your Sex Life Find you’re not having sex as often? Perhaps things aren’t as exciting for you and your partner any more. If that’s the case then read on, as here are our top tips to put the spice back into your sex life. Talk it out If you and your partner don’t talk about what’s going on (or not going on as the case may be) under the covers, the silence between you will quickly become an insurmountable wall and may create even more distance between you. Foreplay Discover the wonders of foreplay once more. Foreplay is something that can get put to the side after the first heady months of a relationship. Bring it back and explore each other’s bodies once more – it’s not all about penetration you know! Water, water everywhere Spice things up by taking a bath or shower with your loved one. Depending on your mood, a bath can be a slow and sensual reconnection with your partner, while a shower is that little bit raunchier. Work it out Stress can be one of the causes of a loss of libido, and one of the best ways to relieve stress can be through massage. Get your partner to give you a massage and return the favour. You’ll be surprised how quickly a simple massage can turn into sexy time. Smooch time When couples first get together it’s all about kissing – something that is often lost the longer couples stay together. Bring back the kiss: it’s intimate, it’s loving and will often lead onto other things. Baby take off your clothes If you’re not comfortable doing a strip tease for your partner, why not let them undress you. Maintain eye contact and take things slowly. It can be a major turn on. Playtime Sex toys can be a great addition to the bedroom, once everyone is comfortable with the situation. Spice things up with handcuffs and different outfits and see where it will take you. And above all… You need to know what YOU like, before you can expect anyone else to know. Don’t be afraid to explore your own body – science has already told us this week that masturbation is good for you, so there’s really no excuse!
