When it comes to sex tips and tricks, things can get very complicated.

Between new positions that require serious flexibility and any amount of sex toys, it’s time we threw all that out the window and got back to basics.

It turns out the best way to improve your sex life, this comes expert-approved, is to turn the lights on during sex.

Yep, it’s that easy.

Turning the lights off when ‘doing the deed’ has become common in recent times but this can have a negative impact on your emotional connection with your partner.

Sexologist Megan Stubbs acknowledges that this isn’t always easy and it can be difficult to put this into practice if you’re used to having the lights off.

In conversation with Insider, she explained:

“For some, this idea is terrifying, but when you share that vulnerable space with your partner, you are helping to deepen your bond”.

If you think about it, when the lights are on you actually look at your partner and eye contact during sex is one way to amp things up instantly.

You’ll instantly feel closer to your partner and the best thing is this connection will last a long time after sex. It might take a while to get into but you’ll be glad you made the change.
