GLAMOUR magazine asked its favourite sexperts to reveal their lessons in red-hot loving. Do try these at home...
Lesson 1: Double the frequency and length of your kisses
People who kiss a lot are more passionate than those who just have a lot of sex.
Emily Dubberley, editor of Scarlet, sex magazine for women
Lesson 2: Make eye contact during oral sex
It's such a visual turn on for a guy, and it's sexy to see you enjoying it.
Michael, copywriter
Lesson 3 Explore the senses
Lead him blindfolded into a room you've prepared with candles, scent and soft music. Slowly undress him. Touch him lightly with your fingertips. Blow on his skin. Only you can decide when to remove the blindfold.
Marta Osborn, Tantric sex instructor
Lesson 4: In a crowded place, whisper in his ear
Lean over and tell him exactly what's going to be happening in a couple of hours' time.
Andy, personal trainer
Lesson 5: Burn essential oils to set the mood
Sprinkle three drops of rosemary, four drops of orange and one drop of rose in a burner. These stimulating, sexy scents act like a magic potion.
Elisabeth Millar, aromatherapist
Lesson 6: Groom each other
Offer to wash his hair or ask him to paint your nails. It encourages you both to be gentle and sensual with each other.
Dr Pam Spurr, author of Sex, Guys And Chocolate (Chrysalis Books, R142, Exclusive Books)
Lesson 7: Keep up communication in fun ways
Leave a Post-it note on his steering wheel, write a message in the steam on the bathroom mirror, or send an email or SMS. It doesn't have to be raunchy - just letting him know you love him will encourage him to reciprocate.
Mary Clegg, sex expert
Lesson 8: Strategically hang a mirror to reflect your bed
Even if you're just lying down chatting, there's something very intimate about watching yourselves together - and if you're actually having sex, it's extremely erotic.
Shelley, travel PR
Lesson 9: Agree on a love pact' with your partner
For instance, you might agree to spend 30 minutes caressing each other to arousal before even attempting intercourse.
Julia Cole, relationship therapist
Quick fix
Our schedules don't always allow time for bedroom marathons, but everyone can squeeze in a quickie every now and then. Glamour relationship coach, Tracey Cox suggests that having lots of quick mini sessions is a vital way to keep both partners permanently on a sexual simmer.
Expecting to reach orgasm each time is unrealistic, warns Tracey, but quick sex restores the faded emotions of a comfortable relationship.
She concurs that, Impulsive, unplanned sex keeps the buzz alive and there's no doubting that quick sex, rather than no sex keeps you connected.
