There inevitably comes a time in a couple's sex life when everything kind of plateaus down to routine and monotony. Sexual intercourse turns from an act of pure pleasure to one comparable to doing the daily chores. Indeed, men may find it more pleasurable to watch a football rerun than even entertaining the thought of having sex with his partner, and women find it more arousing to caress the contours of a pair of on sale shoes displayed at a mall, than the body of her partner during foreplay. The problem with this scenario may be the attitude both individuals have about sex. To be really pleasurable, it must sometimes be spontaneous, excitingly deliberate, and if necessary, aggressive. Trying out a few techniques may help in bringing the perk back into sex for couples who are finding it hard to spice things up. It is recommended though that couples should use condoms before having sex. Latex condoms do away with the anxiety which comes with the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Lubricated Durex condoms are best since they maximize on durability and strength without compromising sensitivity.

It is important for couples to be open to each other concerning their fantasies. Conferring with each other on what they want by dropping sleazy hints or kinky asides help in heating up the moment which leads to arousal. Verbal talk are great interludes to foreplay, and once things get going, couples should encourage each other to initiate things which they feel would help them both in easing them towards their climax.

It is also a great way to tease each other with innuendos concerning sex all throughout the day. If one of the couple plans to have sex the same night, he or she should drop hints as early as in the morning before breakfast or before they both go to work; this builds the sexual urge, which reaches its peak upon the act itself.

Variety is also the key to maintaining sexual interest between couples. This may take the form of assuming different positions when having sex, or by varying the manner of stimulation by stroking or caressing erogenous parts of the partner's body when he or she least expects it. Sexual toys also add a lot of zest to the foreplay, and it preps up the female before actual penetration (remember to always use latex condoms before sex). There are a huge variety of sexual implements which can be used to enhance the sexual experience between couples, and it would be advantageous for both to at least try these devices.

Having a sensual experience also adds a lot of depth to the intercourse. Couples should avoid having sex which only aims at penetration. Having a go at it by letting go of distractions, using all of the available senses to maximum potential leads to a very satisfying orgasm. Couples should avoid penetration until both are well aroused and satisfied that the only thing missing in the picture is orgasm. Of course if couples really want a worry free orgasm, they should use condoms before penetration, especially Durex condoms due to its lubrication and durability.
