The trouble with being in a rut is that some people don’t realise they are in one until they are well and truly in it. Even most loving and healthy relationships can lose their sexual momentum over time, but it doesn’t mean that spark can’t be reignited.

It’s the job of both partners to stop a relationship from going stale, so why not do something new together? After all, you never know what might tickle your fancy in the bedroom if you don’t expand your sexual limits and push the boundaries.

When it comes to experimenting in a relationship, sexual kinks and fantasies immediately come to mind. If you keep an open mind and there is trust in the relationship, then introducing kinks can elevate your sexual chemistry. It may even deepen the trust between you and your partner, as some find it difficult to share their “secret” kinks out of fear of being judged.

First, be open-minded and never pass judgment. According to Sara Tang, sex coach and founder of Sarasense, which offers online resources and coaching on improving skills in the bedroom, you need to accept that the chances of someone wanting the exact same thing sexually as you are very rare, but that’s OK.
