How to Improve Your Sex Life as a Couple

Tell Them What You Like and What You Don't

Communication is the foundation of any relationship. In your sex life, it matters even more — it's the most intimate way to get to know your partner, and yourself too.

Before having sex, you can talk with your partner about what you like and what you'd rather not do. That lets you set your boundaries and makes sex good and enjoyable for both of you.

Not everyone is into it, but if you feel comfortable, you can talk to your partner during sex to let them know what you like and what you don't. That way your partner knows whether what they're doing feels right for you, and can adjust based on your feedback so it's as enjoyable as possible for both of you.

Use Sexual Enhancers

You're probably already familiar with lubricants, which keep mucous membranes wetter during intercourse and make penetration much easier and more pleasurable — but there are other products too, known as sexual enhancers.

Sexual enhancers are aphrodisiac products that act as sexual stimulants and boost desire and pleasure during sex.

So if you want to make sex with your partner more pleasurable, we recommend trying natural enhancers. You'll find them as capsules or as a gel/cream, applied or taken 15 to 30 minutes before sex. They don't cost much and can change your sex life as a couple, intensifying and prolonging pleasure for both of you.

Increase Physical Touch

It's a scientific fact that hugging releases dopamine in the brain — the so-called pleasure hormone. That's why, if you want to improve your sex life as a couple, many therapists recommend increasing physical touch, whether through a hug, a kiss, or a massage, among other things.

What's sometimes called sensate focus helps rebuild physical intimacy gently. You could try a sensate focus session together, taking turns touching each other and rediscovering one another. You can also try sensual massage sessions to relax and give each other pleasure before having sex.

Try New Things

A couple's sex life can sometimes be affected by routine, which leads to a drop in libido. Trying new positions, games, or buying sex toys to spice things up can help fight the routine and improve your sex life by introducing something new.

Watch a Racy Movie Together

If you're wondering how to improve intimacy with your partner, know that erotic movies are exciting for pretty much everyone. Pick one you both like and enjoy watching — and maybe imitating the actors.

Try New Locations

Many couples tend to have sex in the same place every time. It's normal to get used to comfortable spots, but when boredom or low desire sets in, trying somewhere you've never experienced before can be genuinely exciting. For example, you could try other rooms of the house, the car, the outdoors, and so on.

Play the Seduction Game

This might sound a bit intimidating, since not everyone feels comfortable with it, but it's easier than it looks. It's simply about one of you taking the lead while the other lets go. Use your imagination to spice things up!

Play with Sex Toys

If you want to bring your partner pleasure, using a vibrator or other sex toys is a great option. At SILEXD you'll find vibrators and dildos made from liquid SILEXPAN® silicone, designed to fit whatever you're both looking for, no matter your experience level.

Good sexual health matters. Toys can help you get to know yourself better, build confidence with your partner, and improve your sexuality overall. They're also one of the best ways to add a little spice to your time together.
