5 Ways To Spice Up Your Love Life When You’re In A Rut

  • Written by: News Co Media


Right at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, when most of Australia entered a strict lockdown with the stay-at-home orders, many couples were getting more action between the sheets than they’d had in months, possibly even years.


Making Time For Sexy Times

With the thrill of a quickie between Zoom calls proving a turn-on for all the right reasons, the excitement for some has quickly turned stale, and many couples are now facing up to the fact that their love life has entered a bit of a rut.

If you’re looking for some easy ways to spice up your lovemaking sessions, whether you’re in a steady relationship or not, read on for five tips on how to spice things up between the sheets and get your love life back on the road to pleasure.


Improve Your Protection Game

Condoms. They’ve not always been seen as the most exciting part of getting down to it, and for many people, they can be a bit of a buzzkill, but that being said, they are a vital part of your sex life if you’re not with a regular partner or if you’re not at the stage of going au naturel with your bedfellow.

Lucky for you (and them), there is now a huge selection of condoms available to buy online, everything from ribbed for extra sensation, as thin as possible for that natural feel, and condoms with a little touch of delayed gratification if he needs a bit of slowing down.

Why not grab a few different options and see what works best for you and your partner, or even fill a draw with different varieties for that lucky dip approach!


Explore Your Fantasies

Everyone has fantasies, whether it’s the rich billionaire sweeping her off her feet, or the sexy secretary who keeps dropping that pen right in front of you.

Whatever your fantasy and however silly it may seem, share it with your partner and give a bit of roleplay a go, it doesn’t have to be serious, and having fun with it is a great way to keep the mood relaxed.


Improve Your Playtime With Toys

Shocking as it may be to a male partner, most women can’t reach orgasm through penetration alone and need stimulation in order to reach climax.

There are lots of different options for toys on the market these days, and many can even be used by couples to ensure everyone gets their happy ending.


Be Cheeky

When was the last time you sexted your partner? If you can’t remember, it’s time to up your cheeky game.

That doesn’t mean sending “bottom half selfies,” but a cheeky use of the eggplant emoji at the right moment is sure to raise a grin, and hopefully something else.


Dress To Impress

If you’ve been stuck indoors with your partner for months on end, you’re probably getting far too comfortable in those sweatpants and tees?

This is a perfect opportunity to spice things up and remember this little bit of advice: a well-tailored suit is to a woman what lingerie is to a man.
