Laughter is love\'s queen

Man in bed laughing, seen through woman\'s legs
We don\'t mean guffawing over his shoulder at TV re-runs as he tries to send you into orbit, but where appropriate (no laughing at his bits) there\'s nothing wrong with sharing a laugh during sex. It demonstrates intimacy, relaxation, trust, happiness and pleasure. Men that know how to turn women into giggling, purring kittens should really be replicated en masse. Make it your duty to find one.
Make a home-made porn movie together

Man watching woman dance in bedroom
Lights, camera, X-rated action. Phew! Just make sure it\'s you that keeps/deletes the film and any copies. Leaked sex clips make for emotional meltdown.

Make a pact

Couple kissing on the beach
Relationships can lose their pizzaz after a while. Take it in turns to arrange a date for two once a month - it may be an old idea but it\'s a good one. Vary the venues and activities to make sure you\'re both still doing fun things together.
Turn the everyday into a special day

Man kissing woman\'s neck against background of wallpaper
If you and your other half can manage no nookie for a week or two, the sex that you eventually have can be mind-blowing. Preparing dinner together whilst very hot under the collar could see you tearing each other\'s pants off and getting it on across the kitchen table or against the wall, or result in you bringing whole new meaning to the dining room chairs. Use your imagination - domestic minutiae can become a whole new world of fun!
Use a condom

Man opening a condom with teeth
As many as 70% of women and 50% of men who have an STI don\'t show any symptoms. If you have sex without a condom you have a much greater chance of getting an STI like chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhoea or HIV. There are an estimated 20,000 HIV positive people in the UK who don\'t know they\'ve got HIV whilst the number of people infected with chlamydia has increased by 206% in the last ten years. Scary stuff.

Foreplay lessons
relationships,sex tip
Man and woman foreplay
If you feel you\'d like to brush-up your bedroom technique pop along to a foreplay lesson - sessions are held at 2pm and 5pm on Saturdays at two London locations. Fun and friendly, the girls only workshops promise fun, giggles and plenty of super tips; after a glass of bubbly there are demonstrations (hand and oral techniques), followed by foreplay quizzes, and hands-on sessions - they provide plastic models rather than men, unfortunately. Plus after every session you\'ll leave with a sexy goodie bag - can\'t be bad. Perfect for birthdays or hen nights!
