No one likes to admit that we don’t know everything about what we’re doing between the sheets…but if we’re being honest with ourselves, there’s always room for improvement. However, just because we’re no Casanova doesn’t mean we aren’t pleasing our partners. Just to make sure you’re all getting all you can possibly get out of a roll in the hay, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common sex mistakes people make.
Take, Take, Take
We all know that aged old saying, “It’s better to give than receive,” and that is no more relevant than when we are getting down and dirty. Make sure to be a giver, and I guarantee your partner will be titillated to return the favor.
Location, Location, Location
In real estate it’s all about “location, location, location,” and when it comes to sex, that’s just as big of a factor. Where we get down can help to set the mood, but make sure you’re thinking further than just a bedroom. Setting a mood makes all the difference, and switching up when and where is a great place to start.
Silence Is Golden…
There’s nothing that makes a date go smoother than good conversation, but that doesn’t mean we should take that into the bedroom. Now, more than anyone, I’m all for some dirty talk in the moment, but if your partner isn’t reciprocating, it might be time to bite your lip and just enjoy it.
…Except When It’s Not
On the flip side of that coin, it’s also not a great move to be too quiet. No one likes a blabber mouth, but pumping away at a silent figure makes for a very uncomfortable and awkward situation. Don’t be afraid to let your partner know they are doing what you like with a moan here and there. After all, there’s no better way to get what you want than to lead them down the right path.
Don’t Be Boring!
Sex is fun, and like anything else fun, when it’s the same thing over and over, it gets kind of monotonous. Spice things up, keep your partner guessing, and open your mind to trying new things. Change can be a very good thing, just make sure you’re keeping communication open so they can feel comfortable expressing if they like it or not.
Now that you know some of the most common things that can go wrong when things are starting to feel so right, now go and make sure you’re doing it right. After all, practice makes perfect. So practice, practice, and practice some more!
