- You Don’t Say What You Want – Not only will this make you seem bad at sex, but it will make your partner seem bad, too. It can be really hard to just come out and say what you want, but it’s necessary. After all, how else can your partner know?

- You Jump Out of Bed the Second It’s Over – We know you need to clean up when the party’s, um, over, but really, don’t run right to the loo the minute the deed is done. For one thing, it’s essentially sending your man the message that you think you two just did something sort of icky. For another, guys actually like that intimate cuddle time, says Gentry, so “getting up immediately and running to the bathroom is a big buzz kill.” And don’t take offense if he drifts off to sleep — that’s just a sign he’s super-satisfied.
- You Never Take the Lead – C’mon, you know it’s not fair to make your man do all the work! “Men often complain that their partners don’t initiate sex enough,” says Kerner. In fact, according to iVillage’s married sex survey, more than 30 percent of women say their partners initiate sex most of the time. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important for you to be the one who gets things going sometimes. Men want to be wanted, too!

- You’re Afraid to Try New Things – spontaneity is important in your sex life. This falls in line with going with the flow sometimes. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Sometimes being too plain vanilla makes it seem like you’re bad at sex. Besides, again, you don’t ever have to do anything you don’t like; if you try it and hate it, then so be it.

- Communicate – Yes, yes, I harp on this all the time. But for a reason! We all have variations on what we like to do when we smoosh our bits together, and if you don’t develop some kind of understanding with your partner, how are you ever gonna get what you want? I have a list of things I really don’t like, and the sooner I mention that my body don’t work that way, the better for both of us. When someone tells me they really like something, I can start doing that all the time, which is fun for everyone. Beyond that, sex apparently has something to do with trust and intimacy, or at least works best when you have similar expectations of trust and intimacy levels. So if you can manage to not be in the middle of an argument with your sex partner, you’re probably gonna have nicer sex than if you both are seething inside.

- Start small – By “starting small,” what I am referring to is your affection with your clothes on. Instead of thinking you have to instantly rejuvenate things in the bedroom, why not begin by increasing the ways you touch outside the bedroom?

- Let go: If and when he tries exploring unchartered territory, control the natural urge to clamp up and reject him. Instead, trust him and let yourself go. Remember, it’s all about being open-minded about what’s acceptable in the bedroom. There’s no such thing as taboo or off-limits when it comes to two consenting adults.
- Never fake it: The moment you start the fake moaning and screaming, understand that it’s half — or even the whole — battle lost. Worse, he’ll only get the wrong signals and believe he’s doing a great job. And you’ll have no choice but to continue the vicious circle of faking it and lying about it. Ugh!
