Breaking Free from Sexual Routines: Tips to Rekindle Intimacy

Having sex every day can indeed get old fast. Our once-exciting pair activities will lose luster after the oxytocin and pheromones wear off. Either that or our sexual intimacy is diminishing. Even the most exceptional individuals are not immune. While some people thrive on consistency, others thrive on novelty. In my opinion, both can be true simultaneously.

Nonetheless, if you and your lover seem to be stuck in a sexual rut, consider these five suggestions.

Recognizing that you need a change from your old sexual routine

To break free of a boring sex routine, you must first admit that you need to make a change. As a pair, you can decide how to proceed once you've both committed to trying something new. Consider it an investment in the bond between you two. Talking is all that's required. We are not taking this seriously; it is just a conversation for fun. Consider it more like a sexual ideation session.

Think about your sexual engagement in the context of your relationship as a whole, and approach this practice accordingly. Is your partner open to making changes to her routine? How ready are you? How much work will it be? It's about you two taking charge of your love affair by making changes that benefit both of you.


Methods to revitalize your sexual life

Consider your deepest desires

It's simple to want a change, to throw out the old, but more challenging to figure out what we want to replace it with. If you want your spouse to be able to meet your evolving sexual demands, it's a good idea to take some time to reflect on what you want out of life and how you want to see it changed.

Get down on paper or set aside some mental space to imagine the ideal sex life you want for yourself, and then work your way backward. Without a clear picture of the desired outcome, it's challenging to determine where to start making adjustments.

Look on the bright side

Ensure your companion feels good about them and retains confidence when you bring up change in the bedroom. Get the conversation started by describing what you love most about them. Mention how your sex life is a way for you to express your love for each other, how intimate it is, and how much fun it is. Strike a balance between being forthright about what isn't working and being upbeat when discussing your evolving emotions and perspectives.

Consider a different time

A minor adjustment may sometimes be needed rather than a significant overhaul. Having sex first thing in the morning has several advantages over having it later in the day, so try switching it up if you usually have it before bed. If you only have it on weekends, try having it during the week instead. This one adjustment can go a long way in motivating those around you.

Go somewhere different

Trying a new location is another excellent way to shake up your sex life, much like the previous one. For those who like to remain undressed, feel free to experiment on the couch, the loo, or whatever suits your adventurous spirit. Experimenting with a new spot usually amps up the enthusiasm, which can cause a shift in the usual.


Sometimes, disregard penetration

Penetrative sex isn't always necessary; in fact, there are occasions when avoiding it is more alluring. As a result of uncertainty about whether or not they want to have sex, many people say that they avoid physical contact with their partners in bed, such as kissing or stroking them.

First, practice focusing your attention on sensual activities rather than sex-specific activities. Establishing a nurturing environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your desires can be beneficial.

Taking pleasure in each other's physical presence can be more intimate than engaging in penetration sex; having an orgasmic experience is not necessary.

Whether you choose oral sex or want to cuddle and go nude, experiencing sensuality is a powerful experience that can easily lead to more intense sex the following time around.

Give a different job a go

Despite its apparent simplicity, it is often the most challenging choice. Although it may seem daunting at first, put down that book of complicated karma sutra poses and focus on finding a new position that you are both comfortable with and haven't done before.

Recognize the desire

It is relatively uncommon for the sexual engines of the two partners to be operating at different speeds. If this describes your relationship, keep in mind that being fully aroused is not necessary for a satisfying sexual encounter. Being willing is all that is required. Not everyone begins in the same spot. In a partnership, one partner may be constantly prepared to go while the other needs more time to warm up their engine.


You and your partner can create your unique codes to indicate your openness to sexual intimacy. You and your partner can devise a unique system that complements your individuality. You can be as basic as using a dry-erase board to write "on" or "off" or get creative. Providing your spouse with suggestions for ways to arouse you and prepare you to engage with them could also be beneficial.

You may want to be spoken to in a specific manner or experience a sense of desire from your spouse. If you provide specific instructions on how you would like this conveyed, they can better accommodate your requirements.

On the other hand, you shouldn't try to force your spouse to have sexual relations if they express an unwillingness to do so. Instead of bringing people together, pressing them usually makes things worse. Consent is an essential part of any healthy sexual relationship, regardless of marital status or length of time spent together.


Conclusion

It is challenging to produce a helpful guide on this topic without the principal critical component- effective communication. Changing your sex life definitely won't be too difficult if everything is going swimmingly in your partnership. However, you should determine your desired change and discuss it in an enjoyable and alluring manner. Here, talking is essential; if you feel awkward or shy, remind yourself that you're conversing with someone who knows you well and, most importantly, finds you attractive.
