The other night I unlocked something from deep within that up until now I didn’t know existed. The night started out like any other– my partner and I were binging the latest Netflix craze (your typical Stranger Things / Orange Is the New Black screen-sesh) and after exhausting the episode list, we gave each other that cheeky “what now” look. You know the one. What followed that cheeky nod was a passionate night of intimacy that totally rocked our worlds. To put it lightly, it got downright primal in the bedroom. My partner and I experienced a new height in our sexual relationship and I give full credit to our steamy new bedroom helpers. 

Being in a long-term relationship, it is easy for things to get stale in the bedroom. I’m sure by now even Ana and Christian Grey are sitting on some fictional porch drinking sugar-free lemonade and doing a joint crossword puzzle. Once the honeymoon period is over, sex can have a tendency to become routine– The same R&B jam playing in the background, the same 3 positions you’ve danced with time and time again. Don’t get me wrong, the sex is still good, but how do you feel about making it great? Allow me to titillate you with the following sex hacks:

1. Don’t Skip The Foreplay

There seems to be a trend that the more time you’ve spent being intimate with your partner(s), the farther away you get from the true hero of sex: foreplay. Sometimes the anticipation is too much that you simply cannot wait to rip each other’s clothes off and get straight to the main act. Seeing as you’re already getting naked, how about drawing a nice, warm bath with HighonLove Sensual Bath Oil to really get your engines revving? 

The first time I used this oil I had a long, romantic soak all by myself. When I got out I couldn’t believe how silky and supple my skin felt. I was like Kim Kardashian at the 2019 Met Gala. When I tried it with my partner for the first time it was as if the sensuality I experienced when I was *feelin’ myself* was kicked up to 100. Our whole bodies were tingling and ready for action.
