Most people’s sex lives could stand to be just a little bit spicier, and these five simple tricks will be sure to crank up the heat. And whether you’ve been sleeping with your man for five years or five minutes, these are all things you’ll feel comfortable trying.

1. Do it with the lights on.
You don’t need to go guns blazing here doing it with all the overhead lights and lamps blaring. But keeping a room dimly lit with a lamp or some softer lights can add a lot to a sexual experience (aim for the brightness of a romantic restaurant). Being able to see your partner adds a visual component that many people’s sex life is lacking. You can see his body, watch how he touches you, and watch how you respond. It’s like being able to watch your own porn, without taking the risk of making the tape.

2. Do it somewhere other than the bedroom.
There’s no reason sex should be restricted to the bedroom right before bedtime. Next time you get the urge to have sex, do it right then and there (or as soon as you see your man). Sex is always the best when you really want it. And that may be in the afternoon, the morning, or right after dinner. Next time you get the urge, don’t wait until bedtime -- indulge your craving immediately on whatever surface is the closest.

3. Do it pretty woman style (without kissing on the lips).
Having sex without kissing on the lips can make your experience more erotic by shaking things up a bit. If you’re not kissing on the lips while having sex, you have to pay more attention to kissing the rest of each other’s bodies. Necks, chests, arms, and hands suddenly become the center of attention, which switches up the usual routine and helps keep you focused on the moment.
