Desiree's Desires, Inc. The 6 keys to having great sex may seem straight forward and easy. Putting them to practice is another story. We all have hectic lives: work, relationships, kids, and general stress. Great sex and the pleasures/endorphins/hormones that come with it actually can help your body and keep you healthy. Here are our 6 keys to having great sex: 
- Relax & Attitude: Scheduling sex isn’t very romantic. Feeling guilty or self-conscious isn’t all that helpful either. Time to let go, relax, and change your general attitude about sex. The more you relax and feel comfortable about yourself and sexuality, the more your body will respond to the pleasures of sex.
- Trust & Communicate: We’re not talking about one-night stands here (although those can be great fun). We’re talking about great sex with your trusted partner. Trust can sometimes be difficult to achieve. The only way to truly trust your partner is to communicate with them. Talk about your day, discuss your sexual fantasies, tell your partner what you like and don’t like. Never feel bad about communicating your wants and needs. Both partners need to feel completely comfortable talking about these things in order for both people to feel loved, respected, and trusted.
- Love Yourself: It may be cliche, but you have to love yourself before you love somebody else. This means, love your body, flaws and all! Own it! This goes for women and men. We all have hangups, but we can’t let them get in the way of our pleasure.
- Adventure & Romance: Change things up! You don’t need to go on an exotic vacation to do this. Role play, different positions, or a new technique will do the trick. Try a date night once a week to keep connected.
- Foreplay & Afterplay: Want to get yourself stimulated? Try a day of foreplay. Send a text, make a phone call, write an “I love you note,” or play some naughty games. All may help to stimulate blood flow and get you in the right mood. Then after your night of great sex, don’t forget to stay connected. It can be nice to build trust and communication if you stay in bed with one another and talk about the highlights!
- Stress Relief & Fitness: Sex is good for your body. It helps to reduce stress and keeps your body fit. People who have more sex are less likely to be depressed. In order to feel up to having more sex, you need energy. Eat right, take a walk, and try to get a good night’s sleep. More energy equals better blood flow including blood flow to the genitals, which increases arousal in both women and men. After a great sex romp, you’ll find it easier to fall asleep too!
