13 simple tips for seriously better sex

1. Take a lunchtime stroll
Research shows that the more fit you are, the more sex you’ll crave.

2. Book a rubdown
A pampering massage not only relieves stress... but the skin-on-skin contact stimulates the sex hormone oxytocin.

3. Read something hot
Erotic literature can quickly jump-start arousal.

4. Get really relaxed
Just a few meditation sessions can jack up your sex drive and speed arousal.

5. Pop a multi
Too tired to feel sexy? It may be a diet deficiency.

6. Break a sweat beforehand
Exercise primes your body to get in the mood.

7. Smell your way sexy
Cucumber, licorice, and baby powder have been shown to turn women on, increasing vaginal blood flow by 13%. Pumpkin pie and lavender increase blood flow by 11%.

8. Ask about those little blue pills
The same meds that put your partner in the mood may also give your sex drive a lift.

9. Check your medicine cabinet
Any antidepressants in there? They could be stealing your orgasm.

10. Patch it up
If your sex drive has cooled down — because of hormone abnormalities or surgery — a testosterone patch may help rekindle your fire.

11. Put a stop to distraction
It's not just those endless to-do lists that make your mind wander between the sheets. You're wired that way.

12. Keep it simple
You don’t need 3 hours of mind-blowing bliss for a satisfying sex session.

13. Just do it!
So what if you're not exploding with desire? Studies show that many women who report a lack of interest in sex respond just fine once they're in the midst.
