10 Ways to Make Sex More Romantic

Romantic sex is the kind that reminds you why you fell in love in the first place. It's slow and tender, filled with whispers of affection and gentle caresses. It can make you feel empowered and connected to your partner like when you first fell in love. We’ve put together 10 of our top tips that you can put into practice to make your sex more romantic again. If you’re looking to introduce sex toys into the bedroom you can take a look at our Rose Toys.

1. Set the Mood - Create The Perfect Atmosphere

Creating the perfect atmosphere isn't just about lighting candles or playing romantic music; it's about crafting an environment that stimulates the senses and fosters intimacy. Consider dimming the lights to create a sense of intimacy and warmth. Choose music that resonates with both partners, evoking feelings of relaxation and connection. Experiment with scented candles or essential oils to infuse the room with a tantalising aroma. 

2. Communicate Your Desires - Be Honest

Too often, couples shy away from discussing their sexual preferences, fearing judgment or embarrassment. But in reality, sharing your desires with your partner can strengthen your bond and enhance your pleasure. Take the time to initiate an open dialogue about what you find romantic and arousing. Share your fantasies, your likes, and your dislikes, and encourage your partner to do the same.

By communicating your desires, you not only invite your partner into your innermost thoughts and desires but also empower them to reciprocate. This mutual exchange of vulnerability fosters trust, intimacy, and understanding, laying the groundwork for a more fulfilling and romantic sexual experience.

3. Take Time For Foreplay

Take the time to explore your partner's body with intention and care. Start with soft kisses and gentle caresses, gradually building in intensity as desire grows. Experiment with different techniques, focusing on areas that elicit pleasurable responses from your partner. Pay attention to their cues and responses, allowing their body to guide your movements.

By prioritising foreplay, you not only prolong the pleasure but also deepen the connection between you and your partner. It's a reminder that sex is not just about reaching the finish line but about savouring each moment along the way.

4. Focus on Sensuality

Encourage readers to engage all their senses during sex. This could involve using scented oils or perfumes, tasting exotic foods, or incorporating textured fabrics into lovemaking.

5. Slow Down

Taking the time to explore each other's bodies can be an incredibly sensual experience. Rather than racing towards a predetermined finish line, slowing down encourages us to be present in the moment, to pay attention to the subtle cues and responses of our partner. It allows us to discover new erogenous zones, to experiment with different techniques, and to build anticipation as we slowly build towards climax.

6. Eye Contact

When we lock eyes with our partner during sex, we create a bridge between our souls, a connection that goes beyond the physical. In those moments, it's as if nothing else exists except for the two of you, lost in each other's gaze. It's a vulnerability that can be both exhilarating and comforting, a silent acknowledgement of the trust and affection that exists between you. Let your eyes speak the words that your lips cannot, and feel the bond between you grow even stronger.

7. Express Affection

There's something undeniably intimate about sharing words of love and appreciation with your partner in the heat of the moment. It's a way of affirming your connection, of reminding each other of the depth of your feelings even as you lose yourselves in passion. And it's not just about what you say, but how you say it – the tone of your voice, the look in your eyes, the way you touch each other.

But expressing affection doesn't have to be limited to words. Simple gestures like holding hands, stroking your partner's hair, or cuddling afterwards can speak volumes about your feelings for each other. It's these small acts of tenderness that can turn a good sexual experience into a truly unforgettable one.

8. Try New Things Together

Variety is the spice of life, and it's no different when it comes to sex. Trying new things together can inject excitement and novelty into your relationship, keeping the passion alive and the spark burning bright. Stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring new dimensions of pleasure and intimacy with your partner can be incredibly rewarding.

Consider experimenting with different locations – whether it's a secluded spot in nature, a luxurious hotel room, or even just a different room in your own home. The change of scenery can add a sense of adventure and spontaneity to your lovemaking.

Introducing sex toys can also be a fun way to spice things up in the bedroom. Whether it's a Rose Toy for sensual stimulation or a Massage Wand for deep relaxation, exploring these new tools together can open up a world of possibilities and enhance your sexual experience.

9. Practice Mindfulness

In a world that's constantly pulling us in a million different directions, it can be easy to lose ourselves in distractions, even during sex. But practising mindfulness can help us stay present and focused on the sensations we're experiencing, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment.

One way to practise mindfulness during sex is through deep breathing. By focusing on the rhythm of your breath, you can quiet the chatter of your mind and heighten your awareness of the physical sensations coursing through your body.

So the next time you're making love, take a moment to pause and centre yourself. Let go of any distractions or worries, and allow yourself to be fully present with your partner. Trust me, the experience will be all the more fulfilling for it.

10. Aftercare

Sex doesn't end when you both reach climax. In fact, what happens after can be just as important in maintaining the romantic connection between you and your partner. That's where aftercare comes in.

Aftercare is all about showing love and appreciation for each other's efforts, both physically and emotionally. It can be as simple as cuddling together, talking about your experience, or even just basking in the afterglow of your lovemaking.

So whether you're lighting candles, trying new positions, or simply holding hands, remember that the most romantic sex is the one where you and your partner are fully present with each other, cherishing every moment of intimacy and connection. Here's to a lifetime of love, passion, and romance in the bedroom and beyond.
