Awaken the passion in your marriage

Even the most loved-up couple has to accept that as time passes the initial heat of the “honeymoon period” will cool to a gentle simmer, unless a concerted effort is made to keep the flames leaping around.

And while it is physically impossible for flesh and blood to sustain the prolonged passion and sexual tension which spans the Fifty Shades’ trilogy, with a little imagination there’s no reason why you and your long term partner can’t rock each other’s worlds at regular intervals for years to come.

Role playing is good and fantasising about his donning shining armour and showing up on a white steed can only be good for your libido.

But wishful thinking and leaving it up to him to miraculously happen upon new and adventurous ways to rekindle those original thrills and delicious sensations that made you fall in love in the first place, is neither fair nor realistic.

So, as a red blooded woman who is contentedly hitched but longs for real fireworks, take the initiative and help turn your sensual wish-list into reality. After all, we live in an equal opportunity world and romance comes in all kinds of guises.

We all know that it’s the simple things that keep us close.

A handwritten welcome home note when he’s been away on business will be much appreciated but if you’re looking for a somewhat more demonstrative response, a well-planned dinner served by candlelight, with a few choice aphrodisiacs on the menu, is more likely to rekindle the embers.

If you follow this up with a relaxing foot massage with scented aromatherapy massage oil, you’re bound to be hot footing it to the bedroom even before desert is served.

Another way to fan the flames is to invest in a Nomi Tang Better Than Chocolate massager, and give his muscles a really good working over.

While this little beauty is ergonomically shaped to accommodate our more intimate areas, it also makes a fantastic back and neck massager and when he’s well and truly relaxed, it might be an idea to shift the festivities to the swimming pool or Jacuzzi and crack open a bottle of champagne.

While toasting your rosy future, move the massager southwards, it works like a charm under water. When it’s done its job on him, hand it over and invite him to do the same for you. What happens after that is bound to be x rated.

Variety will always be the spice of life, so be adventurous and mix thing up any way you can. To add an extra sizzle to the climaxes of your most intimate moments, look no further than the We-vibe 3 vibrator.

There’s a good reason why this is the all-time best selling adult toy for couples.

It stimulates both your g-spot and clitoris simultaneously and has the option of a wireless remote which adds another dimension to couple’s play. Best of all, when you’ve placed the larger lobe on your clitoris and inserted the slightly smaller one into your vagina, there will still be plenty of room for your man to fit in underneath and enjoy the sensations with you.

Making love will never have felt better.
