Easy ways to increase intimacy in the bedroom

They say curiosity killed the cat, but we’re pretty sure curiosity just made the bedroom a whole lot more interesting. Spicing up your session with your partner can not only open an entirely new realm of pleasure, but also help understand your partner at an intimate level. So, here are a few tips and aspects that can help you spice up your bedroom shenanigans.

Communication is key 
Any good relationship has open communication between partners to navigate unfamiliar waters and push limits together. This idea can be carried forth to the bedroom as well. For those of you who are just getting to know your spouse-to-be, it's important to open up and get to know each other's likes and dislikes in bed, too. Push the boundaries together and go for an A-rated shopping date—be it your sexy innerwear or sex toys. Let your partner have a say in what you pick. Taking the initiative for activities that make you both feel good, will make your physical closeness better and make your partner want to come back for more!

Unleash your playful side

Experimentation can be essential to bridging the gap between expectations and reality in the bedroom. Trying out your fantasies and some roleplay can actually spice your relationship in the bedroom. Keep it playful and light, and let your imagination run wild. Remember to keep an open mind and not be judgmental when it comes to your partner’s fantasies. And if there is something you’re uncomfortable with, express that as well.

Safety first- kids!

For new couples who are not planning kids soon, ribbed and dotted condoms, are here to supplement your protection and add that extra pleasure into your intimacy journey. Lubes are not just a solution for dryness, but also a great addition to your intimate moments together. Slip and slide through your hot sessions with water-based lubes. If you're using toys, then you definitely shouldn't forget lubes. Remember to choose products that are mindful of your health needs; this includes pH-balanced lubricants and condoms with no nasty chemicals. The use of sex toys and lubes must be normalised to achieve that big ‘O’ which many people consider a far-fetched reality. 

Lastly, be aware that partners sometimes get intimidated or insecure by the presence of sex toys in the bedroom. Make the effort to explain how toys are just an enhancement and not a replacement.
