Want to get the best out of your sex life? Scaling the peaks of sexual pleasure leads to deeply satisfying intimacy. Great sex doesn't just happen, but needs to be worked at - in a shared and sensitive manner. The way to a fulfilling sex life is most often in the mind. When all those birds and bees are hard at work, it is the right time to put the zing back in your lovemaking with these great tips.

Start Fresh
Novelty is the best trigger of sexual desire. If you feel that monotony has crept into your relationship, now is the time to spring clean and start fresh. Bring back that first flush of romance, set out to woo your partner and try new positions. Dump your old, comfortable ways and start afresh. Follow the Zen way of a "Beginner's Mind", approaching each lovemaking session as if it were your first!

Stay Young
Bring back that heady feeling of first love. Re-live those passionate encounters during your moments of intimacy, and you will be surprised there's so much more to discover in the sea of passion. The best way to do it would be to stay young. Remember you are only as young as you think!

Tune In
Take time to tune in before you plunge into the act. Cultivate the art of intimacy by chatting, strolling or just holding hands and basking in your togetherness. And remember, a few minutes of peace and quiet together are worth many hours of foreplay.

De-stress
Stress is a major libido-buster and too much of it can lower testosterone levels considerably. So dealing positively with tension is the best way to get back your libido. Relax to soothing music, get a massage or stretch those muscles - and guess what? Sex itself is one of the best stress relievers. So fight the vicious cycle by just having sex more often.

Get Fit
Lack of sexual desire or a distinct slump in your libido could be the result of some other physical ailment. Many medications such as anti-depressants or blood pressure drugs could most often be the culprit. So talk to your doctor about the dosage and find a way around the problem to set yourself back on track.

Shape up
Physical fitness has a major influence on sexuality. Research indicates that regular exercise boosts mood and energy levels considerably. And it has been proven that balanced nutrition, exercise and weight loss not only make people feel good about themselves, but also enhances sexual desire.

Play Act
Role-playing with your partner is sure to pep up your intimacy. Go for that much-needed makeover if you should. Do away with old ideas that make you hold back. Pretend you are someone else in bed and lose all your inhibitions. And you'll be surprised how great it feels when your senses take over.

Go on a Sensory Body Tour
Set the stage for your voyage of sexual discovery with soft sensual music, a hint of your favourite perfume or lingerie and bedclothes in your favourite colour. Get liberal with touch and caress and guide your partner along the sensual tour. Mutual give and take creates a greater feeling of trust and builds a sensual and emotional bond. Also heightens sexual energy like no other!

Enjoy Love-Making
Drop all your inhibitions before you get into the act. Great sex happens only when you have nothing to hold back. And a positive attitude would go a long way in building up intimacy. Adopt the Japanese 'Kaizen' method of making small improvements in your lovemaking technique on a continuous, day-to-day basis and see the big difference!
