Drop your smartest intimacy tip, secret habit, or playful ritual that actually improves connection. No graphic details—just clever advice. Let’s crowdsource better vibes, stronger chemistry, and happier nights for couples.
Giving her a back massage or neck rub.
I get a full body massage, and i mean FULL body massage about once a week, soft music flickering dimmed lights, lovely.
Cuddles
Never forget to play. Laugh, joke, tease, but do so with kindness and good intentions in your heart. Treat one another like you’re best friends.
OH start off with a full body oily massage and he then ends up finishing me off with my lovehoney wand
Cuddles, back rub and ear nibble ![]()
Mrs W here ……
We (Pen and I and Mr W and I) touch each other an immense amount through a normal day …. the touches linger a bit longer or get more intimate when it is time to progress …… both of us in the couple do this xx
As has been said can’t beat a good massage ![]()
I like the three T’s. Timing, tone and turf. We focus a lot on communication. When we bring anything up, especially sexual, we make sure that the person has time to think and process the question, nothing is accusatory and it is usually outside of the bedroom. The bedroom is our safe space and intimate area. And agreeing with others that you still have to play and have fun. Laugh together.
This is the most underrated comment on the board today.
Sometimes just physically lying so close to each other (like spooning style) but with no intentions other than passing time and relaxing is the best connection possible.
Preferably both naked and just breathing nicely, no phones needed, although one or even both reading a book works for us.
If that was all that was left in life, then I’d be happy enough.
Thank you for the kind comment @Simon_101 It is indeed underrated and something I seldom have time for unless I’m being used as a comfort pillow and sleep.
Also aware I owe you a drawing still. Hopefully I’ll have some free time to make a masterpiece for you over the festive season.
Talk about it. A lot. Talk about your kinks, talk about your favorite memories, talk about your fantasies – even the ones you don’t actually want to fulfill. Right after sex, talk about what you liked, what could’ve been better, what you want to try next time, what limits you don’t want to push. It can feel a little awkward at first, but the more you do it the easier it gets.
My OH and I talk about our sex life constantly and I swear it’s one of the biggest reasons it’s gotten so much better over the years. 15 years in and I’d bet my mortgage payment we have the best sex life of anyone we know.
Ask and tell. Don’t expect them to be psychic about your needs and you can’t be expected to be psychic about theirs.
The other one is I like to use long journeys as a time to pick my wife’s brains on things we want to try or explore. You’re stuck in the car anyway and unlikely to get distracted, but also you’re somewhat prevented from it escalating in to sex if you’re actually needing to get somewhere. It gives you the opportunity to get in to real depth and detail, but this can also really build up the tension.
We’ve had the same experience. Often, when returning home on a long journey, and we know it’s going to be a fun night once home, the talk goes through all our sexual likes, wants and fantasies.
We arrive home, me hard and she is wet…. the rest is terrific ![]()
