Let’s be honest, you are probably bored after months of inactivity and the “Covid fatigue” that is not only affecting your work and social life, but also spilling into the bedroom.

So now is the time to look at some creative ways to spice things up and rescue your sex life and romance, not to mention your sanity.
Many people have forgotten that good sex actually starts in the brain. With Covid-19, it’s no better time to remind ourselves that Covid-proof sex could also start in the mind.
