Do You Have a Happy Sex Life?  Signs That You May

Many couples are often curious about their sex life and how it compares to the sex life of others. In all honesty, you are able to determine, on your own, if your sex life is good, happy, and healthy.  With that said, there are some common signs that you may want to look for.  These signs, a few of which are outlined below, often signal a happy and healthy sex life.  Are you receiving the ultimate level of satisfaction?

Sign #1 – You Have a Healthy Relationship

Couples who have a healthy relationship use communication with each other and often.  They are able to let their partners know when something is bothering them. Each partner understands that their relationship involves two fully committed individuals.  Couples with happy and healthy sex lives often do not have unrealistic expectations or make excess demands on their partners.

Sign #2 – Experimentation in the Bedroom

Experimenting in the bedroom is another sign that you may have a happy and healthy sex life.  Of course, this does not mean that you and your partner have to become the next big adult movie stars, but experimentation can improve your sex life significantly.  It is also important to remember that experimentation comes in a number of different formats.  It can be something as simple as having sex at a different time of the day, in a different part of the house, or extended foreplay sessions. Fantasies and fetishes are fun and okay, but only if both parties agree to them.  Be sure to consult with your partner before going “overboard.”

Sign #3 – Sex is Given Freely

In many relationships, especially long-term relationships, sex can be seen as a chore.  This isn’t how it should be.  Sex should be something that you and your partner want, not a responsibility that needs to be fulfilled.  If you and your partner are open to both spontaneously engaging in the act, you may have a happy and healthy sex life.  When you have sex because you want to, as opposed to because it is your “job,” maximum benefit and pleasure is achieved.

Sign #4 – Sex Becomes a Regular Part of the Relationship

It is no secret that having an active sexual relationship can be difficult.  With raising families, working, and other common duties, sex can often take a back seat.  Another sign that you may have a happy and healthy sex life is if you don’t let your day to day responsibilities and duties get in the way of having sex.  Regardless of how busy you are, if you still find time to have sex with your partner, you have a healthy sex life.  Just be sure to remember that sex doesn’t have to be scheduled.  In fact, spontaneous sex can do wonders for a relationship.

Sign #5 – Sex is more than Just an Act

Contrary to what most people believe, sex is more than just having intercourse.  An important component of having a happy and healthy sex life is that of engaging in foreplay.  Foreplay can be something as simple as holding hands or giving a relaxing massage.  Love notes, kind gestures, and doing something that your partner may not expect on a daily basis are all easy ways to keep your partner interested in you, both emotionally and physically.  You have a healthy and happy sex life when the romance continues on long past intercourse has come to an end.

So, do you have a happy and healthy sex life?  If a number of the above mentions signs describes your relationship with your significant other, there is a good chance that you do. 

Even if you have a happy and healthy sex life now, it is important to remember that things may change.  Remember that as time passes, it may be easier to let sex impact your relationship negatively.  Be sure to always keep an open line of communication with your partner, especially where sex and their needs are concerned.

Does Your Sex Life Need Improving: Signs That It May

Are you in a relationship?  If you are, are you currently happy, in terms of sex?  Of course, it is important to make sure that you and your partner get along, have a good time together outside of the bedroom, and do not argue, but intimacy should not be ignored.

To help you determine if your sex life needs improving, please continue reading on, as a few signs that it may are highlighted below.

You don’t have sex.  Not being intimate with your partner is a good sign that your sex life could use a makeover.  Before proceeding any farther, it is important to determine why you and your partner are not being intimate.  Do you not feel the need to be?  Is your work or family getting in the way?  Determining the route of your problem is the best way to fix it.

In keeping with not being sexually active, the same rules do not apply to you if you are not in a relationship.  If you are not in a relationship, but if you want to experience intimacy, there are a number of steps that you will want to take.  First, you will want to find someone who is compatible with you.  To do so, use an online dating service, a speed dating service, or ask someone that you know to set you up on a date.

If you do have sex, how often do you have it?  Not being intimate with your partner enough is another sign that your sex life may need improving.  When determining what is the appropriate amount of times to be intimate, you will find that it depends.  A number of factors, like your children and your work schedule, should be taken into consideration.  With that said, learn how to make time for intimacy, as it is an important component of having a healthy and happy relationship.

Another common sign that your intimacy may need improving is if the sex that you do have is dull, boring, and no longer exciting.  Once it becomes a chore to you or it seems like a responsibility that you must perform, action should be taken.  To have a happy and healthy relationship, intimacy is important.  With that being said, not just any intimacy will do.  You should get excited about going to the bedroom with your partner and you should end the event satisfied.

If you and your partner are growing distant, it could be a sign that your sex life needs to improve.  Why?  As previously stated, intimacy is an important component of having a healthy relationship.  Although a relationship should not revolve around sex, it should be an important part of it.  If you and your partner are growing distant, consider using the bedroom to make improvements. When you do so, you may end up seeing the rest of your relationship properly fall into place.

If any of the above mentioned signs or situations apply to you and your love life, you may need to make a few changes. The good news is that it is easy to go about doing so.  If you can’t seem to find the time to be intimate with your partner, make time, even if you must stay up later or get up earlier.  If your sexual encounters are dull and boring, consider experimenting.  A new position or the use of sex toys may be just what your relationship needs.

5 Ways to Improve Your Intimacy with Your Husband

Are you married?  If you are, you likely love your husband.  With that said, love isn’t always enough to keep a relationship going strong.  Intimacy is very important to having a strong, happy, and healthy relationship.

How is your life in the bedroom?  Do you think that your sex and intimacy can be improved?  If so, you may be nervous about discussing the subject with your husband.  After all, your husband may wrongly get the impression that they don’t satisfy you anymore.  If you are interested in improving your intimacy with your husband, there are still a number of other, different approaches that you can take.  A few of these approaches are touched on below.

1 – Date

If you and your husband have been married for a while, there is a good chance that you haven’t gone out on a date in a while.  Many married couples get to a point in their relationship that is commonly called “the comfort zone.”  This zone is not one that you want to be in, as your relationship may feel more like a friendship.  To prevent this from happening, ask your husband out on a date.

Although many wives believe that their husbands should do the date asking, you sometimes have to take hold of the situation yourself.  Now may be one of those times.  Choose an activity that is romantic, such as a romantic comedy for a movie or a nice restaurant.  This can help to spark a little bit of romance and passion in your relationship, which may lead to better and closer intimacy at home.

2 – Show Romantic Gestures

When it comes to “wowing,” in a relationship, women sometimes think that men should do it.  You will also want to “wow,” your husband, like you did the first time that you met.  One of the easiest ways to do so is by performing a number of romantic gestures.  When out shopping with your husband, grab their hand and hold it.  When walking by them in the house, give them a quick kiss.  Sending a love note to work with them is another romantic gesture that you may want to try.

3 – Be Sexy and Seductive

If your marriage enters into the above mentioned comfort zone, sex and intimacy may seem like a thing of the past.  If you do have sex, it may seem more like a responsibly, a chore, or even work.  To help reduce these feelings, be sexy and seductive.  Do not wait for your husband to initiate sex and do not ask if your husband is up for it first, just get right down to business.  Strip for your husband or simply just remove their clothes.  Snuggle next to them on the couch and just start massaging their whole body.  You may be surprised just how easy and effective it is to be sexy and seductive.

4 – Be Spontaneous

As it was previously stated, do not ask your husband if he wants to have sex and do not wait for him to start.  Instead, take matters into your own hands.  Whether you start with a little bit of foreplay or jump right into the intercourse, do so.  Your husband should like the surprise.  Also, remember that being spontaneous involves having sex at different times of the day, as well as in different locations of the house.

5 – Offer to Experiment In the Bedroom

To improve sex and intimacy it is important to know that a change can do you good.  You may want to suggest to your husband that you experiment in the bedroom or take them up on their suggestion to do so.  Remember that experimenting in the bedroom doesn’t have to mean getting an additional sex partner or doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable.  A new sex position may be just what your relationship needs.

As you can see, there are a number of easy ways that you can go about improving your intimacy with your husband.  So what are you waiting for?  Get started today.

5 Easy Ways for Parents to Spice Up The Intimacy

Are you married?  If you are, are you also a parent?   If you are married and a parent, how is your sex life?  Depending on the age of your children and the size of your family, it might not be great.  Many parents wish that they had a better level of intimacy with their partner and on more occasions.  If you are one of those individuals, there are a number of steps that you will want to take.

When it comes to intimacy in a relationship, it is important to remember that more than the bedroom and sex is and should be involved.  Does your intimacy only get started when you climb into bed?  If so, there may lay the problem. 

If you are a parent, you will want to consider using the service of a babysitter.  This will enable you and your spouse to get out of the house and enjoy time alone.  In fact, you can even have a “real,” date.  Go to dinner and a movie with your spouse.  Unfortunately, many married couples find themselves entering into a comfort zone that results in their relationship feeling more like a friendship than a marriage.  Do not let your relationship get to this point.  Dating is a nice and easy way to prevent that from happening.

In addition to hiring a babysitter, rely on a trusted friend or family member.  What is nice about taking this approach is the comfort level.  Instead of picking a babysitter out of a phone book, you are entrusting the care of your children into someone that you know and trust.  This alone can result in you having a better time on a date.  You may also feel more comfortable leaving your children with a trusted friend or relative overnight, as opposed to an unknown babysitter.  What does this mean?  It means that in addition to enjoying a traditional date, you may also enjoy a nice, sexual night of privacy, possibly at a nice hotel.

In keeping with childcare that will allow you and your spouse to spend some romantic, intimate, and quality time together, consider approaching other parents.  Do you know the parents of your children’s friends?  If you do, consider making a monthly arrangement with them.  Let them keep your kids for one night and you can do the same for them.  This approach is nice, as you are likely to feel comfortable living your children in the care of another parent.  Also, remember that all parents find it difficult to seek privacy and intimacy.  You may be doing the other set of parents a huge favor.

As important as dating is and can be to your relationship, be realistic.  Not every night can be a date night.  With that said, there are still ways that you can be romantic and intimate with your spouse at home.  For example, sneak in a few hugs and kisses here and here.  When your wife is cooking dinner, walk up to her, rub her back, and plant a kiss on her.  When your husband is walking past you, stop him and give him a quick kiss.  A simple kiss is enough to show your partner that you care and want to be intimate with him, without making your children, who may be watching, feel uncomfortable or out of place.

Another unique and creative way to keep the romance and intimacy alive when you may be unable to have sex or go on a date is the use of text messages.  Do you and your spouse have and use cell phones?  If you do, send them a sexy and seductive text message.  Let them know that you can’t wait until they arrive home.  Even if your partner is sitting across the room from them, send them a quick message.  If you do not own or use a cell phone, know that a handwritten love note can be just as effective.

As you can see, there are a number of ways that you, as parents, can still have a happy and healthy sex life.  Implement a few of these steps to help keep your relationship and its romance alive and well.

4 Ways to Improve Your Intimacy with Your Wife

Are you married?  If so, you likely love your wife, right?  Despite a deep and intense love for your wife, you may still want to see an improvement in your intimacy.  After all, what man doesn’t want good sex? 

If you want to improve your intimacy with your wife, it is important to know that you have a number of different options.  Unfortunately, many men automatically start think of the bedroom. Yes, you do want to “wow,” your wife in the bedroom, but that is not all that sex and intimacy is about.  In fact, that is where many marriages go wrong.  Too much focus is placed on the sex or the lack of it. 

To help you properly improve your intimacy with your wife, please continue reading on.  A few easy to implement, yet successful approaches are highlighted below for your convenience.

1 – Date Her

How long have you been married?  If you have been married for a number of years now, do you honestly remember when your last “real,” date was.  Unfortunately, many men underestimate the power of a date. You will not want to make this mistake.  If you opt just for the sex, your wife may start to feel like it is her responsibility to please you and this is not how a relationship should work.

To not only improve your satisfaction in the bed, but to improve your wife’s satisfaction, take her out on a date.  Many times, getting out of the house is enough to bring new excitement into a relationship.  For the best level of success, choose a romantic date theme, such as a fancy dinner, a romantic movie, or a night at a nice hotel.

2 – Compliment Her

When is the last time that you have paid your wife a truly nice and unique compliment?  If it has been a while, it is time for you to start again.  Is your wife wearing a new outfit?  Has she recently started a weight loss plan?  Did your wife get her hair cut?  If so, be sure to compliment her.  Complimenting your wife on her appearance will increase her self-confidence.  This, in turn, can improve experiences in the bedroom.

As important as it is to compliment your wife on her appearance, it is also important to remember to compliment her on other areas of your relationship.  Do you notice that the house is clean?  Has your wife prepared a nice dinner?  If so, thank her for the job well done.  This will not only help to improve your relationship in general, but it can have an impact on your experiences in the bedroom.

3 – Seduce Her

What is sex like in your home?  Does it occur like clockwork?  Do you actually take the time to ask your wife if she wants to have sex?  If so, try to refrain from doing so.  Yes, you may be rejected, due to a headache or being tired, but why not take the chance?  Be spontaneous.  Seduce your wife.  Make her want to have sex with you.

4 – Fulfill Her Fantasies

In keeping with seducing your wife, let her know that you want to fulfill her fantasies.  It may take your wife a few times to open up about what she likes or fantasizes about sexually, but the information will likely come out soon.  Give it your all to fulfill your wife’s sexual fantasies.  It is also important to note that afterwards is the perfect time to share your fantasies and sexual desires with your wife.  In end, you may all end up being much more pleased.

As you can see, there are a number of different ways that you can go about improving the intimacy in your relationship.  Please remember, however, that you want to get started in someplace other than the bedroom.  Sex in a marriage is about more and should be more than just the act itself.  Taking the time to date and compliment your wife will more than pay off in the end.
