There are times when you want things to get a little raunchy in the bedroom…but then there are other situations when you want to turn on some Boyz II Men and cover your bed in rose petals. On those nights, use these tips from Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First, to get in touch with your more romantic side.
Clear out clutter (which can be distracting during sex), put out a couple of cute photos of you and your S.O., and ditch any scratchy decorative pillows in favor of ones that are soft and comfy. “Think about what you can do to make your bed look inviting,” says Kerner. And there’s no need to spend a lot of money to accomplish that—you could just put fresh sheets and/or a silky throw on the bed. “A little goes a long way,” says Kerner.
Whether your fantasy involves light bondage or role-play, the key here is to make sure you give your partner a starring role when you open up about it, says Kerner. “Whenever you reveal something like that, you’re putting yourself on the line and you’re showing your partner you trust them.” Very intimate.
