Are you crazy about your partner? Everything is amazing and you wouldn’t change a thing, except the sex? Well don’t worry, you don’t have to grin and bare it or find a whole new person. We have some simple solutions that can help fix some common bad sex situations.

Skipped Foreplay

Foreplay is crucial for satisfying sex, and according to numerous studies many people aren’t doing enough of it. If you try to skip the foreplay step, odds are, you’re in for some disappointing sex. The solution to this is to stop rushing sex! Be mentally prepared for foreplay as the first step and go in with that as your usual expectation. Make foreplay just as important as the sex itself!

Uncomfortable

Do you feel uncomfortable, or embarrassed post sex with your partner? The best sexual exchanges will happen when you’re comfortable with your partner and vice versa. When you feel safe together, sex drastically improves. This takes constant maintenance too. Even if you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, you still need regular fun times in your relationship outside of sex. The more quality time you spend together out of bed, the safer and more comfortable you’ll feel in bed.

Not in the Mood

If your partner isn’t in the mood on a somewhat regular basis, that could be the sign there’s a big problem in the bedroom. One of the main reasons this happens is because your partner doesn’t feel consistently satisfied during sex. The first step is figuring out why. Until you know the answer, it’ll be tough to resolve. Make sure you’re doing your fair share to make sure things like stress and resentment aren’t interfering with your sex life. Also, take a hard look at your relationship. Does your partner feel loved and supported? Remember that there’s a huge psychological and mental component to sex and sexual desire. The better you treat your partner, the better they’ll respond to you.

Make an effort to talk to your partner about intimacy issues. This starts by getting comfortable talking about sex. A lot of people don’t have practice with this, so start off easy. When it comes to sharing your wants and turn-ons, be very careful about the way you frame them. Again, you don’t want things to come across as criticism. Tell your partner what you like, but validate them in the process: “I love having sex with you, and I think it might be hot if we tried this next time…”
