Changing location is one of the ickest ways to boost desire. Go alfresco AKING sex out of the bedroom nd especially off the bed) is a mple but instant way to breathe e into a stale sex life. f sex alfresco seems a bit risky ot to mention illegal), you can rtainly get yourselves warmed outside!

Shape up ARMER weather is the perfect spiration to stick to a healthy ting plan and get body confint. The better you think you ok, the happier you’ll be showg off your body – and showing how you’ve shed inhibitions along with the unwanted pounds! Most of those who rated themselves as body confident in the LighterLife Fast research (nearly 73%) were within a healthy range in body weight. Being unhealthily overweight erodes confidence nd self-esteem and is nearly ways the result of an unhealthy estyle and diet. This has a knock-on effect: A d diet means no energy which nerally means no enthusiasm r life in general. Warm weather boosts x-drive EAT works to rev up our libidos r lots of reasons. First up, we’re all wearing less there’s more flesh on display. u can’t help but think of sex hen everyone’s running around skimpy shorts and men with eir tops off ! The sun slows us down, makes want to be outside having n rather than working and nerally promotes a sense of ell-being. When we feel happy, we’re far more likely to be in the mood for sex. 5. Ditch the woolly onesie LIKE it or not, you do need to look good for your partner to fancy you. It’s fine to pull on the onesies now and then – so long as you take it off and put something sexy on (a little more than) now and then. 6. Eat chocolate YOU can make your own body paint by melting some chocolate in the microwave, letting it cool a little and then painting it on.
It washes off the sheets and is a much sexier way to scoff your Easter Eggs than slouched on the sofa!
Don’t worry too much about the calorie intake – indulge in some good old-fashioned hedonism over Easter then follow the LighterLife Fast 5:2 regime to even the scales. Literally. 7. Mingle for Singles IF you’re single, enjoy it! Winter is for snuggling and spring is for getting outside and having fun with friends.
The more fun you have being single, the more likely you are to attract others. Remember to flirt, flirt, flirt!
It’s ironic that the more attractive you are, the clearer the signals you need to send.
People are scared to approach pretty people so you need to give an obvious green light like a smile teamed with eye contact. 8. Don’t repeat old mistakes LOOK at your past three relationships and check you aren’t repeating any toxic love patterns. Finding the right person is a numbers game.
The more people you talk to, the likelier you are to meet someone. 9. Strip off SHEDDING those layers means you can show off your bod!
Go commando, bare your chest (if you’re a bloke) or ‘accidentally’ get that silky top wet and transparent. 10. Book a mini-break IS there anything sexier than having sex in a hotel room? There’s something about it that suggests saucy trysts and naughtiness. 11. Have a picnic LIE in the sun in your local park. Take the papers, a bottle of wine and your partner and soak up some Vitamin D to keep your testosterone levels high.
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for sex drive in both men and women. 12. Read erotica SPRING means the release of beach reads which usually means erotic reads. Visual treats work best to boost desire for him but reading works best for her. 13. Talk about intimacy SIT down with your partner. First up, each write down five things you love about your relationship and five things you’d like more of. Swap lists and discuss. Take turns to listen to your partner talk about what they’d like more of. After they’re done, you get your turn to air your views. 14. Get cleaning COUPLES in relationships where both partners do their fair share of the housework have much more sex than couples where housework isn’t shared. If he’s not willing to do his fair share, this is a carrot to dangle! 15. Eat seasonal foods NUTRITIONISTS say eating certain foods, especially those high in specific nutrients, deliver a powerful boost to the libido.
Women should aim to eat foods high in vitamins A and E (dairy products, eggs, oily fish, fruit, all vegetables – esp green ones).
Men need zinc and vitamin B found in shellfish, cheese, eggs, chicken and turkey, bananas and potatoes. Make sure everything you put into your mouth (ahem) is nutritionally complete. 16. Give Spring a sniff FLOWERS, freshly-cut grass, suntan lotion, the sea – what isn’t sexy about the smells of spring! All of these things can help put you in the mood. 17. Exercise INCREASED fitness means increased blood flow – the blood pumps freely to the erogenous zones quickly and easily during arousal, making orgasm more intense and sex more pleasurable. The fitter and healthier you are, the more confident you will be to experiment between the sheets. 18. Orgasm to beat the bloat BECAUSE sex is a stress reliever, it helps to keep levels of cortisol – a high anxiety hormone – low. Too much cortisol makes us crave carbohydrates or sugar, which is then stored around the waistline. Regular orgasms will help get rid of your belly. 19. Ignore social media selfies DON’T even think about comparing yourself to other people’s social media selfies. It’s all fake. We all know what the right angle and filter can do. They don’t look like that either. 20.
