"Relationship Tuesday" "How to Spice Up Your Relationship in an Intimate Way"

Some sex tips are for special-occasion sex - for those times when you want to shake things up a little. Whether you feel like your sex life is lagging or just feel like doing something new, the following eight tips are things we think every woman should try at least once in bed. Why? Because you never know, you might just love your newfound knowledge.

Be selfish in bed

Sometimes you need to put your pleasure first, ask for what you want and not worry about whether he's having as good a time. Yes, it should be a balance, but if you're always concerned about him, you won't focus on you and may never discover what you like. 

Lube it up

Who knew one small tube could revolutionise your sex life? Just a little bit of quality lube can mean the difference between discomfort and ecstasy. There are plenty of factors that can affect a woman's natural lubrication - dehydration, antihistamines, the Pill, stress, antidepressants, pregnancy and even breastfeeding; but you don't have to need it to enjoy it. Adding a lubricant to your usual routine can intensify pleasure, enhance sensitivity, prolong activity, help prevent condoms from splitting and feel sensuous and stimulating. 

Stop chasing the orgasm

When it's not happening, the orgasm pressure can start to mount which makes everyone uncomfortable and tense. If it then does, it can feel a bit souless after being chased so much. Sometimes you just have to accept it may not be your or their nights, and that's fine - concentrate on just enjoying the ride. You never know, being more relaxed may help you to be pleasantly surprised at the end of it.
