If Sex Is Getting Boring... We get it. You're in a long-term relationship or have been married for 15-20 years (or, heck, even seven), and those feelings of giddiness and excitement have all but vanished from your love life. You've likely come across tons of articles about how to have better sex (like Elle Woods said, Cosmo is basically the female Bible): Be more spontaneous, try new positions, do it in public, blah, blah, blah. While those are all excellent suggestions, it's important to recognize where the flame needs igniting, and for most women, it comes down to the feeling of passion.
"Novelty is a big part of attraction," says Cavanah. "Trying something new together -- both in and out of bed -- makes a big difference." While you might not be ready to talk like a porn star or whip out the riding crop, Cavanah says even introducing a couple's vibrator to the bedroom can add a lot of excitement.
She recommends the We-Vibe Sync Vibrator, $199, which can be controlled by your partner with an app. If you want to take a page from "The Ugly Truth," you can even purchase vibrating panties to wear out on the town while your partner teases you all evening. If you want to go this route, Cavanah recommends picking up the OhMiBod BlueMotion Remote Vibrator, $129.
Outside of the bedroom, turn date night into mini adventures. What have you always wanted to try but haven't? From skydiving and rock climbing to dance or cooking classes, navigating new territory together stimulates a feeling of excitement and newness together (why do you think they always go bungee jumping on "The Bachelor"?)
