Do you dare to be bold and expand your horizons when it comes to your sex life? Let’s face it – sex is something to celebrate! It helps reduce stress and lets us feel more connected to our partner. Increasing intimacy often comes down to feeling loved and appreciated. Simple love gestures can boost the romance in your relationship such as doing something spontaneous or unexpected for your parter. Holding hands while watching a movie and whispering in her/his ear how much you love that person or tidying up the bedroom and leaving a rose on the bed can definitely show your partner how much you care and more likely you are interested in having sex.
Robin Milhausen, sexual health and relationship expert, reveals the following tips to kick it up a notch and add a little spice to your routine, while enhancing pleasure and intimacy in your relationship.
1. Dirty talk, clean space.
There’s nothing like hotel or vacation sex. Having sex in a new environment can help us feel more spontaneous or adventuresome. A few times a year, my husband and I book a hotel room for a getaway trip to enhance our sex life, but also to spend quality time with each other away from the kids. Date nights are also on our monthly agenda. But time and money for a holiday aren’t always available. Recreate vacation sex by making your bedroom your sexual sanctuary. Remove clutter, invest in good sheets and set the mood. Research suggests women, in particular, have a hard time getting aroused in a dirty and messy place. If you want to make the night extra memorable, introduce a vibrator for her like the Trojan™ Power Wand Vibrations Massager. Let the talk be dirty, and the room be clean – your sex life will thank you.
2. Focus on the sensations.
One of the latest trends in sex therapy is mindfulness. Often during a sexual encounter our minds wander to tasks at work, issues with the kids, and more. And when you aren’t attuned to the pleasurable sensations of sex, it’s more difficult to feel connected to your partner and to experience orgasm. When you feel a distracting thought come on, notice it and let it go. Purposefully focus on the sensations you are experiencing all over your body. To amplify the sensation and experience further pleasure, try Trojan™ Groove™ Condoms. With extra lubrication and textured channels, these condoms will provide continued satisfaction.
3. Add lube! Always add lube!
Lube makes everything better! In a recent midlife study by SIECCAN and Trojan™, participants who manually stimulated their partners with lube were more likely to rate the act as very pleasurable than if lube was not used. Sex of all kinds is better when slippery – plus it’s fun. The new Trojan™ Chain Reaction™ Lubricant uses a special blend of intensifiers that release a variety of sensations during use for a unique experience every time! Spontaneity at its finest.

My first tip is to plan it! Unless we plan ahead it just doesn’t happen 🙂
Informative articles, helpful to all. thanks a lot for sharing.
I think a nice romantic night is just being together. Have a nice night out – walk on the beach, or sharing an ice cream. Doesn’t have to be expensive. Just get away from the hustle and bustle of the home..
My tip is to make sure that all the electronics are turned off.
Love this idea!
My tip would be to be to work on being more confident in yourself
Soft music and dim lighting
Getting a few minutes alone! Usually planned.
Have time without kids, phone calls. Just time together.
My tip on a nice romantic night is to gwt out of the norm and do something exciting that you would both enjoy!
Don’t overthink it, just make sure you’re doing what you both enjoy doing.
My tips for a romantic night with your spouse is do it as often as possible you don’t need wine and candles it’s all about time together.
made a delicious home cooked meal, put electronics away, go for a nice walk around the park and cuddles
My tip is to put on a bit of makeup and dress up.
Get grandma to watch the kids and no phones.
mindfulness
a nice night away from the house and the phones is romantic enough for me. 🙂
Have a dinner date at home. Ditch the devices, get dressed in your best evening wear, light some candles, put on soft music and enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner for two (have your fave meal).
My tip for date night is no talking about the kids. It’s actually really hard for us to do that, but since our date night’s are for us to be romantic and have time together as a couple, we leave the school, clubs and play date talk for another time.
My tip is to set a rule that you can’t talk about kids, bills or work. Just focus on enjoying each other’s company.
Do something fun and low cost, like a romantic picnic.
My tip is to turn off the phone and lock the door 🙂
If you have children, take them to a babysitter for the evening.
my tip would be to order in dinner with candlelight and tell each other one thing they love about each other
My first tip is to first ensure that the baby is asleep!
My romantic tip would be to plan in advance and surprise your significant other. This adds some spontaneity and makes it a little spicier for both of you! Have the whole house decked out in candles, order food in advance, and greet them at the door in lingerie!
candles 🙂
Be truthful about what you like and dislike….
volunteering to give back to others
Having no kids at home lol ok. A nice dinner and cuddling on the couch together
No technologY! Focus on each other and relax and have a good time.
Take time to plan a special date night weekly
Send the kids to grandmas!
Don’t take anything too seriously!

Put your phone down! I’m so bad for snapping pics & messaging with friends on date nite! my hubby gets pissed. lol
Keep it simple!

My tip is to actually schedule it! Get a babysitter, actually make plans!
just go with the flow.
We always go out to dinner, have wine and cuddle under the blankets
Candles, music and no kids are my tips 🙂
do a little planning and think about it
Get some take out and set out a cozy blanket in front of the TV for a nice dinner and movie at home.
Turn off your cell phones, computers and ignore your home phone and doorbell. Focus on your spouse and listen and enjoy each others company.
Take a weekend away, doesn’t have to be far away just away.
A romantic night with my spouse is a candlelight special dinner with a nice wine.
Planning in advance, i can get ready to feel my best, and I also spend the day looking forward to it!

My tip is to schedule your date night like you would any appointment.
Finding time alone is the key, seems it’s even harder to do with older kids! 😉
Great date night, dinner, wine and a good movie.
Take time for each other without the kids.
