Let's face it: With everything there is to worry about, sex is often the last thing on our minds. Blame the economy or to do list or thousands of stresses in today's world, but keep priorities straight.

A great way to reduce stress, feel healthy, and maintain a strong relationship with your partner is by keeping a close eye on your sex life. It only takes a few adjustments to spice things up. Keep it fun and within your own boundaries.

1. THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR QUICKIE :

 

The quickie can be fun if you are creative and have the right attitude. After all, sex experts agree that the more sex you have, the more you want it. Lots of sex begets more sex because you stay connected. and when couples physically express their desire for each other often, it enhances their intimacy. So when the kids are on their way home with Grandma in tow and the spaghetti sauce is about to boil over, grab your guy and show him what real "shock and awe" feels like. Head down into the laundry room and make love standing up against the washing machine. You don't even have to take off all your clothes.

2. GLORY DAYS : THEY HAVEN'T PASSED YOU BY :



Remember the times early in your relationship when you were so smitten with each other you couldn't make it to the bedroom before your clothes were ripped off? Sometimes maybe you couldn't even make it out of the car. Next time you're on the way home from an outing, prepare ahead and slip on some sexy lingerie. When the car is safely parked in the garage, jump into the backseat and seduce him the way you did back then (only now you know exactly which erotic buttons to push). Don't put the brakes on just because your sweetie drives a Prius, or a Smart Car. They come equipped with hoods too. Cars may not be your nostalgic sexual hideout, but you can still shake things up by visiting any former smooching spot you frequented early in your relationship. This strategy is sure to rekindle those magical feelings of uncontrollable desire.

3. LET THE GAME BEGINS :


Sometimes it's difficult to convince your partner to try new things, but if you're stuck in the old missionary-position-only-after-lights-out rut, it's time break out of your old routine and kick it up a notch. Start out by visiting an adult novelty store. Sex should be fun, so go ahead and play.

4. NEVER BE TOO BUSY TO GET BUSY :

Many men in long-term relationships complain that their partners always wait for them to make the first move, because it's a traditional male role. Make your man feel desirable and sexy by making the first move. Make it fun by binding his hands or blindfolding him and making him figure out how to remove your clothes. As well as evoking laughter, this little test will show you just how ingenious your man can be. This exercise will act as automatic foreplay extender. He'll think you're his playful little "minx" and feel irresistible too. Just make sure that approach is always a two-way street.

5. WORK THAT TOGETHER :
 
 


Working out together can be a real turn on and actually raises a woman's dopamine (the desire hormone) levels and calms anxiety, leaving her feeling frisky even if she's tired and sweaty. Do a foreplay that is also important and adding a great pleasure to whole phenomenon.

6. PDA: NOT TABOO ANYMORE

You love your man. Now show him. In public. What used to be fodder for mockery is now commonplace, and can be very stimulating for you both without being graphic or obscene. Sure, hand-holding is always good -- you want to stay connected, but a gentle rub on the back of the neck or discreet hand on the knee under the table isn't going to ruffle any feathers. You know what your man likes, so if it's a quick tug on his earlobe in the car, go for it. Follow it up with a wink and a mischievous grin and rest assure he'll have some follow-up ideas when you get home.

7. MAKE UP SEX :



Make up sex is best of all. Next time when you and your partner are engaging in battle, remember the war is best on bed, or on the floor by having madly passionate make up sex that promises to sustain intimacy when you inevitably hit though rough patches.
