We dug up the all-time best sex advice from our archives.
Even if your sex life is already satisfying, it's normal to want to make it even better. Maybe your love life has been in a rut lately, or perhaps you’re already having great sex, but you want to start having even more earth-shattering, mind-blowing sex sessions that end in toe-curling orgasms. Well, you've come to the right place, my friend.
We mined hundreds of Men's Health sex and relationships articles to find the all-time best sex tips we've ever given. These tips come from a range of doctors, therapists, and experts across the United States who specialize in sexual health, pleasure, and intimacy.
Maybe you're looking to boost your erections , strengthen your orgasms , and last longer in bed , or perhaps you're trying to amp up your skills when it comes to pleasing your partner. Maybe you're curious about exploring anal play , want to know which sex toys are best for couples , or like to learn how to bring up your deepest, darkest sexual fantasies with your partner. Perhaps your sex life has grown stale, and you want to dabble in some BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism, and Masochism) or are even considering finding a third to play with. Whatever it is, we almost certainly have advice that can help.
So without further ado, here are our 25 best expert-approved tips and techniques for having the best sex of your life. You can thank us later.
When kissing, don't use your tongue like a dart (in and out, in and out). Instead, try varying motions and amounts of pressure. Head here for more tips on how to perfect your kissing technique .
If you want to last longer during sex, you're not alone. " Premature ejaculation is a problem that affects almost every man at some point in his life," Thomas J. Walsh, M.D., a urologist at the University of Washington, told us . One way to delay ejaculation is by doing kegels. Strengthening the pubococcygeal (PC) muscles of the pelvic floor will help you control your orgasms during sex. For tips on how to do 'em—plus other ways to last longer in bed— click here .
Another way to make sex last longer? Train yourself to delay your orgasm while you're masturbating. Edging —the act of bringing yourself to the brink of orgasm and then stopping all sexual stimulation—is a common technique for avoiding premature ejaculation.
We've called the cock ring the "superfood of sex toys" because it's cheap, easy to use, and can benefit your sex life in so many ways. A snug ring that fits around the base of your penis (and sometimes your testicles, too) can strengthen your erection, boost your confidence, and make your orgasms more powerful. Opt for a vibrating option, and it could even help stimulate your partner's clitoris or booty.
All too often, we think of "sex" as being penis in vagina or anus, but frankly, that's such a limiting view of what sex is. Enter mutual masturbation , i.e. masturbating alongside your partner. Not only is is great for when you're too tired to get it on, but you also get to learn how your partner touches themselves. That way, the next time you do have partnered sex, you can touch them exactly how they like!
If you hate the way condoms make you feel during sex, you might not be wearing the right ones, according to sex therapist Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman . When picking a condom, find one that fits like a glove, and look for rubbers that are ribbed or ultra-thin. Condoms are highly effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs, so it's worth finding the one that feels best for you. For recommendations on what to buy, click here .
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and rectum, and it contains tons of nerve endings. Stimulating the prostate can feel so good, some sexual health experts have dubbed it the "P-spot" or the "male G-spot." Here are our tips for finding it , plus our recommendations for the best prostate massagers on the market .
"Temperature play is a technique that uses heat or cold to stimulate the skin and provoke a sensual reaction," explains Ashley Cobb, Lovehoney 's Sex Toy Matchmaker. Heat things up in the boudoir by engaging in wax play, or rub an ice cube on your partner's body (nipples are especially sensitive!) to elicit a powerful sensory response.
These butt-centric sex toys can also help stimulate the prostate during partner sex or masturbation, as well as activate those sensitive nerve endings around the opening of the anus. Butt plugs are designed to slide in and stay put—hence the word "plug"—while anal beads can be gradually inserted or pulled out over the course of a sex session. Check out these roundups of our favorite butt plugs and anal beads .
"Lubrication increases the comfort and speed with which you can penetrate the vagina and grind against the clitoris," Ellen Friedrichs, M.A., an adjunct professor of human sexuality at Rutgers University, told Men's Health . "But sometimes, no matter how turned on a woman might be psychologically, she can have trouble getting wet."That's where lube comes in. Try squeezing a few drops onto the tip of your penis before you start intercourse.
We'll let you in on a little secret: lots of women love watching porn. According to a Men's Health survey, 75% of women said they were down to watch porn with a partner during foreplay or sex itself. That said, they may not be into the same type of content you're into, so be sure to discuss your tastes beforehand or scope out some softer-core fare. (Director Erika Lust's LustFilms is a great place to start.)
Sex isn't a race. Take time to explore your partner before you get to intercourse. Not only will it build desire, but it'll help you discover what you and your partner do and don't like in bed. "On its own, sex is pretty mechanical," psychologist and relationship therapist Tracy Thomas, Ph.D., told Men's Health. "Foreplay is where you learn what you like and don’t like."
During foreplay, the genitals are off-limits. Touch the other parts of your partner's body, using fingers, a feather, a silk scarf, or anything that turns them on—and ask them to describe how it feels. This builds the tension until you're both ready to explode. Check out our tips on how not to screw up your next foreplay session .
Want to know if your partner likes to talk dirty? Say something like, "You make me think dirty thoughts." Ease in slowly. It's best to test the waters a bit, rather than immediately go for your deepest, kinkiest dirty talk right off the bat. Here's our guide to talking dirty in bed .
Roleplay requires a huge suspension of disbelief, but if you can fully commit, the payoff can be massive. Many popular roles (boss/secretary, teacher/student, stripper/customer) play on the theme of one person being in control, while the other is at their mercy.
"These are strong dynamics, even in healthy and fun sexual relationships," Jean Mone , a New York City sex therapist previously told Men's Health . "They allow the [partners] to enact their fantasies in a way that won't leave them feeling vulnerable."
If your partner has a vulva, there's a very good chance they need clitoral stimulation in order to climax—P-in-V intercourse alone isn't gonna cut it. As for the best way to stimulate your partner's clitoris? An Indiana University survey of 1,055 women found that 3 out of 4 respondents like it when a partner traces circles on their clitoris with their fingers or tongue. But if you're not entirely sure what drives your partner wild, ask them!
The clitoris is packed with nerves and super sensitive, so your partner may not want you to touch them there directly. The clitoris actually extends several inches under the skin on either side of her vagina—like a wishbone—which means you can massage it without applying direct pressure. Try tracing the extensions with flat, wide, extra-wet tongue strokes, or slow finger zigzags (don't forget lube). Then rub a slow spiral around the top, drawing closer with each pass. The combination of anticipation and indirect contact will bring those pleasure centers to life.
Stimulating the perineum—the area between your balls and your butt—can feel really good during masturbation or sex. "This area is packed with nerve-endings, so it feels really sensitive," Arlene Goldman, Ph.D., co-author of Secrets of Sexual Ecstasy, told Men's Health . You can also ask your partner to apply pressure to the area during oral sex.
The orgasm gap is real , and it's great that you want to help your partner climax! But when you make it the singular focus of a sexual encounter—for instance, telling them you don't want to come until they do—you might end up stressing them out and decreasing the likelihood of them reaching orgasm. Instead, read up on closing the pleasure gap .
Here's something you should never ask a person with a vulva after sex: "Did you come?" By posing that question after sex, rather than during the act itself, you're implicitly telling your partner that their pleasure is an afterthought for you—and that's not okay. Instead, make their pleasure a priority during sex itself.
If you and your partner aren't as jazzed about doing it as you used to be, maybe it's time to deviate from your go-to sex positions. Try these easy ways to spice up the missionary or cowgirl positions. Or, if you're really feeling adventurous, commit to working your way through our 50 favorite sex positions of all time .
A 2018 study out of the University of Guelph suggests that couples in open relationships are as well off as those in monogamous relationships when it comes to relationship satisfaction, psychological well-being, and sexual satisfaction.
If you and your partner have been itching to have sex with someone new, you could explore having a threesome or attending a sex party together .
Dr. Justin Lehmiller , a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, interviewed over 4,000 Americans about their sexual fantasies for his book, Tell Me What You Want . Eighty-four percent of respondents said they'd fantasized about public sex at least once before, and 29% said they fantasized about it often. “People are turned on by the idea of doing new and different things sexually, which is why fantasies about having sex in different settings are quite common,” Lehmiller told Men's Health . “People also tend to think of sex as something that people only do in private, so taking it public is transgressive.”
Now, we don't recommend actually having sex in public—that could get you in trouble with the law. But there are plenty of ways to safely tap into the public sex fantasy , from dirty talk to virtual orgies to sex resorts .
Here's an idea for a "fantasy lottery": Both you and your partner write five sexual fantasies down on five separate notebook cards. Then head to a restaurant where you can get a booth and some privacy in a public setting. Over dinner and wine, pull out the cards and make three piles: "yes"; "maybe someday"; and "not on your life." Put the items from the first two piles in a shoe box, and once a month—or as often as you like—pull one out to try.
YouPorn's Couple's Chemistry Quiz is another great way to discover your shared kinks.
You can dabble a little with BDSM. One of you can be the dominant—i.e., the one commanding their partner what to do—while the other can be the submissive who listens to the commands.
There are many ways to explore dominant and submissive relationships, including spanking , doling out punishments , and practicing bondage .

Having sex can be a lot of fun and very satisfying, but that being said if you are about to try it for the first time and don't know where to start. Here's a guide to help you decipher that sexual code -- a step-by-step guide on how to have sex.

Step #1: Find out if the person wants to have sex: This is the most important part about a good sexual experience. If one of the partners is not in the mood or does not want to have sex it can lead to the entire process turning sour. Not to mention the fact that it can leave you or your partner with a sense of being violated or used. So, find out if he/she wants to have sex. Some common indicators you should look out for is if the person seems keen on being with you physically, touches you or increases his/her proximity to you. Although these are signs, please remember that you must not misread the signals and sometimes asking is the best way to know. Here are sex positions Indian women love the most.

Step #2: Be prepared: Sex is a wonderful thing. It s pleasurable and makes you feel happy. It also has a number of other health benefits like helping you burn calories and beating depression. It s no wonder that we are the only species that has sex for pleasure and not solely procreation. But with all that fun come problems like unwanted pregnancies, STDs and emotional setbacks. So being prepared is your best option. Carry a condom, have that contraceptive pill and remember that you need to be mentally ready for the act. Sex brings people closer. That s just the way humans are biologically made. So if you are planning to have a one-night stand or are taking the first step towards a committed relationship remember that you should have your mind in sync with what your body wants. One good way to do this is to talk about it. Ask your partner if they have protection (if you don t, go out and buy some, there are a lot of options to choose from), talk to him/her about what you believe this could lead to and most importantly be honest about how you perceive the act (whether it is something you just want to do for pleasure with no strings attached or something more serious.). Remember, condoms are made for one time use. You cannot use one condom repeatedly so make sure you buy enough, just in case you plan to go at it more than once.

Step #3: Choose the location and set the mood: Sex is an intimate act, at least it should be. So pick a spot where both of you will be uninhibited, especially if it s your first time. Pick a place that is private and has a comfortable place to have sex in. A good soft bed with mood lighting always helps the cause (unless you plan to tread on an experimental path). So splurge a little bit. Remember pleasure does come at a cost. Here are 11 songs to get you in the mood for sex .

Step #4: Approach the person gently and do not seem too desperate: Coming on too strongly or being pushy about having sex is one of the biggest turn offs. So don t seem desperate (even if you are dying to be with the person), allow the other person some space to express their feelings as well. You should definitely show that you are interested in getting physically intimate but back off if you feel the other person is not reciprocating. Sex should be a choice so let them choose. If the two of you are close enough you could simply ask him/her. It will be a risk worth taking. Here are 7 tips to get your dream woman to love you!
Step #5: Kiss and caress: The first step towards physical intimacy is kissing. Most women love to kiss and a passionate kiss can definitely put her in the mood for some more. Moreover being close, kissing, touching and caressing your partner helps stimulate their erogenous zones which will lead to more pleasurable sex. It also leads to a stronger sense of closeness and safety two emotions that help a person perform better in bed. So touch him/her, kiss and make your partner wanted. This is also another way to help quell the person s body image issues (if they have any), making them more comfortable in your presence. Here's a step-by-step guide to kiss a girl .

Step# 6: Have a lot of foreplay : This is where you can either choose to remove your clothes or have your partner undress you. Another way to go about it is to remove one piece of clothing at a time, making the entire process a mystery. When it comes to foreplay, most people think that sex is only penetrative. But the act does include foreplay. Foreplay, as the name suggests is what you do before you have sex. It includes fondling, kissing, stimulating your partner s erogenous zones and oral sex as well. Make sure you get enough of this in. It is often the most enjoyable part of the whole sexual experience because the two of you can experiment with a number of methods. Tip for men: Women can orgasm multiple times. So pleasure your woman, she will definitely be in the mood for some more and thank you for it in more ways than one. Tip for women: Most men love to be touched as well, so make him feel good. Touch him, kiss him and feel his entire body. Don t hold back and don t be the only one hogging all the pleasure. Here are 5 foreplay tips to supercharge your sex life .

Step#7: Pick the right moment: The right moment to have penetrative sex is usually felt and is often mutual. Pick the moment when your partner really wants to move on to the next step. In some cases asking if the other person is ready or if he/she wants more is a good way to know when it s time. Once you know that he/she is ready, take it to the next level.
