Sex tips: What NOT to do!

Sex no-nos - what not to do in the bedroom

You may have read up on what to do with each other in bed. But what about the things you shouldn’t do? Find out about the seven biggest mistakes you could be making in the bedroom and what you can do about them.

Allowing stress to interfere with sex

Quality lovemaking will not happen if one or both of you are stressed out. Allocate specific time for both of you during the weekend or public holidays. If necessary, take a hot bath or shower together to put both of you in the mood.

Having poor hygiene

It may sound like a minor issue since you are both familiar with each other. But do you really want to go to bed with a partner who has bad breath or bad body odour? Bathe, shave and freshen up before having sex!

Being distracted by devices

Switch off the computer and your phone during sex. Emails and social networking can wait until after your lovemaking. Your time together in bed is important for you to bond as a couple, so remember to drive each other wild and not up the wall!

Not being proactive

Be responsible for your time in bed. Don’t wait for your partner to get you excited! Try playing some sex games to get both of you turned on.

Neglecting your looks

It may sound superficial but taking care of your appearance helps you to feel good about yourself.

Insisting on routine

Always having sex at the same time and place can kill the mood. Try taking sex out of the house by booking a hotel room, or outdoors if you are a bit more daring!

Being non communicative

Instead of keeping mum through the entire act - speak up and voice your pleasure. Just a simple moan or saying stuff like, "that feels so good," will encourage them and educate them further on what you like.

Being overcritical in bed

Sex is not a dance performance, so please refrain from criticising your partner’s technique. Instead offer compliments when one of you does something right.
