This 'F' word revs up your sex life!

Has sex become a boring, run-of-the-mill activity for your partner and you? The 'F' word can make a lot of difference -- the all essential foreplay.

Sexologist Dr Prakash Kothari says, "Most Indian men use their partners as sleeping pills. There is no foreplay at all."

Rediscover Foreplay

Sexologist Dr Rajan Bhonsle says, "Intercourse without foreplay is harmful and painful, and anything but pleasurable for the woman." Foreplay will help in lubrication, which is essential for you to be physically and emotionally ready to have sex.

It includes kissing, hugging, cuddling, nibbling at each other's ears and necking among other physical activity. Touching is extremely important because it is a way for your partner to communicate his love for you.

Hmm, This is a Good Zone

Besides the kissing and cuddling, the erogenous zones play an important part in foreplay. Though each person may have different erogenous zones, some of the most common ones for you are;

* The neck

* The breasts

* The stomach (the area near the belly button)

* The lower back

* The area behind the ears

* The female genitals

Some of the unusual erogenous zones are the feet (toe-sucking is known to be a complete turn-on), fingers and in some cases, the underarms.

Dr Bhonsle says, "The couple has to discover each other, discover the erogenous zones. You could even talk about your likes and dislikes."

Verbal communications apart, you can help him discover your zones by letting him touch you all over.

Sex games and role playing help spice up the mood and who knows, he may discover a zone that you did not even know existed.

Playing with food will also help him discover what you like. You could also pour chocolate syrup on just the right places and have him lick it off you.

Dr Bhonsle says, "Nothing works as well as him touching you and discovering your body. This will not only help you two communicate better but will also help you have better sex. If he does not reach out to you, then you reach out to him."

Get Into the Mood

Making love is all about setting the mood as well. Here are a few ideas to create the perfect setting for that romantic time between your spouse and you.

* A room filled with scented candles and flowers will set the perfect mood.

* A pathway of flowers leading upto the bedroom.

* An aromatherapy bath with candles around the bath-tub.

* A massage table with scented oil (nothing works like a massage)

In fact, you do not even have to limit your encounters to the bedroom.

If you want to heat things up, try foreplay in a public place. For many, the possibility of getting caught is an ultimate turn-on.

So go ahead and have some fun.
