    I find the easiest way to spice things up is to change foreplay. We tend to get into sex routines where we have a set script of how how sex happens. Mixing up the beginning of the script can be easier than trying a new penetrative position. Start kissing/touching in a different room. Standing or sitting if you usually lie down. Try new oral sex positions too. Those are the easiest things for us anyway.

    LOL…the lack of comments on this topic could imply that many are hoping to get ideas and have very few to share 😉

    One suggestion that seems to continually come up in our community is pace – just go at it a bit harder! Sometimes so many hold back on this, when sometimes we just want to “take” our spouse – or be taken!

    Working on the whole relationship- taking time to have fun together and play and be friends goes a long way. Turn off the tv and the phones and connect to each other instead. When you are already having a blast together outside the bedroom, it sets you up for more fun in the bedroom.
