5 Expert-Approved Ways to Make Your Partner Beg for More in Bed
Introduction
Welcome to our blog at Buzz Vibes, where we believe that a fulfilling sex life is the cornerstone of any thriving relationship. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for the spark in the bedroom to dim over time.
Routine sets in, life stresses pile up, and before you know it, intimacy feels more like a chore than a celebration. But here's the good news: keeping things fresh doesn't require reinventing the wheel. With a few intentional tweaks, you can reignite that passion and deepen your connection with your partner.
As experts in adult products and pleasure, we've seen countless couples transform their relationships by incorporating simple, effective strategies.
Drawing from insights by renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel and sexologist Dr. Emily Morse, this post will explore five practical tips to spice up your bedroom routine.
Whether you're in a long-term partnership or just looking to add some excitement, these ideas are designed to help you explore, communicate, and play. We'll weave in expert quotes to back up our advice, and of course, suggest ways our store's curated selection of toys, lubricants, and accessories can enhance your experience. Let's dive in - because your pleasure is our priority.
Tip 1: Master the Art of Open Communication
Communication is the bedrock of any healthy relationship, but when it comes to sex, many couples shy away from honest conversations. Fear of judgement, embarrassment, or simply not knowing where to start can keep desires bottled up. Yet, opening up about what you want in the bedroom is one of the most powerful ways to keep things fresh.
Start small: Set aside time outside the bedroom - maybe over a glass of wine or during a walk - to discuss likes, dislikes and fantasies. Ask questions like, "What turns you on that we haven't tried?" or "How can I make you feel more desired?" This vulnerability builds trust and excitement, turning sex into a collaborative adventure rather than a solo script.
Renowned sexologist Dr. Emily Morse emphasises the importance of planning and dialogue in her advice: "This year commit to making a sex plan with your partner. Talk about your needs, desires, new things you want to try, and then plan out when you'd like to get there."
By scheduling these talks, you're not just addressing issues; you're proactively fuelling desire. Incorporate tools to make communication fun.
At Buzz Vibes we offer couples' card games designed to spark intimate discussions. These decks prompt questions about boundaries, kinks, and role-play ideas, making it easier to broach sensitive topics. One customer shared how using such a game led to discovering a shared interest in light bondage - leading them to our selection of soft restraints and blindfolds.
But communication isn't just verbal. Pay attention to non-verbal cues during intimacy. If your partner responds enthusiastically to a certain touch, note it and build on it next time. Over time, this creates a feedback loop where both partners feel heard and valued.
Remember, miscommunication can lead to resentment. If one person feels their needs aren't met, it can erode the foundation of desire. As Esther Perel notes in her exploration of long-term relationships, maintaining emotional closeness while allowing space for individual expression is key.
She explains that "Love likes to shrink the distance that exists between me and you, while desire is energised by it."
Balancing intimacy with independence starts with talking about it. To put this into practice, try a "desire debrief" after sex. Share one thing you loved and one suggestion for next time. This keeps the conversation positive and forward-looking. With consistent effort, you'll find that open communication not only freshens up the bedroom but strengthens your bond overall.
Tip 2: Introduce Novelty with Toys and Experiments
Routine is the enemy of passion. Doing the same things in the same way every time can make sex feel predictable and uninspiring. The solution? Introduce novelty. This could mean trying new positions, locations, or - naturally our favourite - incorporating adult toys to add layers of sensation and surprise.
Novelty stimulates the brain's reward centres, releasing dopamine that heightens arousal. Start by exploring together: browse our range for beginner-friendly options like vibrating rings or couples' vibrators. These aren't replacements for connection; they're enhancements that can make familiar acts feel brand new.
Dr. Emily Morse is a big advocate for using props to spice things up. She suggests
"..using massage candles, blindfolds, vibrators, and Bluetooth-controlled toys to add variety and excitement."
Imagine teasing your partner with a remote-controlled vibrator during a date night, building anticipation that explodes in the bedroom. For couples new to toys, we recommend starting with something simple like a bullet vibrator. It's versatile for solo or partnered play and can target erogenous zones you might overlook.
One popular type of toy we stock is waterproof silicone vibrators, perfect for shower play to break the bedroom monotony.
Experiment beyond toys too. Try sensory deprivation: Use a blindfold to heighten other senses, making every touch electric. Or incorporate temperature play with warming lubricants or ice cubes. These small changes can transform a standard session into an unforgettable experience.
Esther Perel highlights how seeing your partner in a new light reignites attraction:
“I am most drawn to my partner when I see him in the studio, when she is on stage, when they are doing something about which they're really passionate.”
Apply this by role-playing scenarios where you "rediscover" each other - as strangers meeting in a bar or characters from a fantasy. Safety and consent are paramount. Always discuss boundaries beforehand and have a safe word.
By embracing novelty, you're not just keeping things fresh; you're investing in long-term satisfaction. Couples who experiment report higher levels of happiness and closeness. So, why not pick up that new toy today and see where it takes you?
Tip 3: Cultivate Mystery and Autonomy
In long-term relationships, familiarity breeds comfort, but it can also kill desire. To keep the flame alive, cultivate a sense of mystery and maintain individual autonomy.
This means allowing space for personal growth and surprises, which can make reunions in the bedroom more charged.
Esther Perel is a master on this topic. She famously says, “Fire needs air.” This metaphor underscores that desire thrives on separation and independence, not constant closeness. Encourage each other to pursue hobbies, friendships, and solo adventures. When you come back together, share stories that reveal new facets of yourselves.
Practically, this could mean planning separate nights out or even solo trips. The anticipation of reconnecting can build erotic tension. In the bedroom, translate this by teasing without immediate gratification -send flirty texts throughout the day or leave suggestive notes.
Dr. Emily Morse echoes this by promoting curiosity: "Curiosity Leads to Greater Pleasure."
Ask about your partner's evolving fantasies; people change over time, and assuming you know everything stifles growth.
At Buzz Vibes we stock items that enhance mystery, like masquerade masks for anonymous role-play or pheromone-infused perfumes to add an alluring edge.
Autonomy also means owning your pleasure. Encourage masturbation as a way to learn your body, then share those insights. This self-knowledge makes partnered sex more dynamic.
Beware of co-dependency; if every moment is shared, there's no room for longing. Perel warns that while love seeks closeness, desire needs distance. Strike a balance, and watch how mystery transforms routine into rapture.
Tip 4: Prioritise Foreplay and Sensuality
Foreplay is often rushed or overlooked, but it's essential for building arousal and connection.
To keep things fresh, extend foreplay and focus on sensuality, turning it into an art form rather than a prelude.
Begin with non-genital touch: Massages, kisses on the neck, or light caresses. Use scented oils from our collection to engage the senses.
Dr. Emily Morse advises positions that foster intimacy: "Sit facing each other, ideally with one partner sitting on the other's lap with the legs wrapped around their waist." This builds emotional and physical closeness.
Incorporate mindfulness: Slow down and savour each moment. Try tantric techniques like synchronised breathing to deepen the bond.
Our edible body paints or flavoured lubricants can make foreplay playful. Paint designs on each other and lick them off, combining taste with touch.
Esther Perel reminds us that eroticism lives in the space between: Keeping a bit of mystery alive is key to maintaining desire.
Tease during foreplay - bring your partner close to the edge, then pull back.
Vary intensity: Mix soft and firm touches, fast and slow paces. This unpredictability keeps things exciting.
By prioritising foreplay, you're not just preparing for sex, you're creating a holistic experience that refreshes your routine.
Tip 5: Schedule Intimacy and Commit to Continuous Learning
Life gets busy, but neglecting intimacy leads to disconnection. Schedule sex like any important appointment. It's a commitment to your relationship.
Dr. Emily Morse promotes this: Make a sex plan, discussing needs and timing.
Block out time weekly, treating it as sacred.
Commit to learning: Read books, listen to podcasts or even attend workshops.
Experiment iteratively: Try one new thing per session, like a new position or toy.
Track what works. Perel stresses aliveness: It's not just toys, but the erotic vitality of the relationship.
Sustain this by celebrating milestones and reward yourselves with a new item from our store after trying something new.
Conclusion
Keeping things fresh in the bedroom is about intention, creativity, and connection. By communicating openly, introducing novelty, cultivating mystery, prioritising foreplay, and scheduling intimacy - with wisdom from Esther Perel and Dr. Emily Morse - you can sustain a vibrant sex life.
