Getting Back in the Coitus Maximus Saddle. Yeeeeehaw!

After you’ve had a couple of kids it is quite common for your sex drive to take a nose dive. This can be remedied in various ways, so you needn’t despair. For example, you may want to consider an increasingly popular trend that is to invest in sex toys such as vibrating hand held devices or things slightly less adventurous such as flavoured lubricant. It is difficult to resist the temptation with some of the best sex toys almost guaranteeing The Big O. This is not sales speak either, they genuinely work!

Before kids, when the urge and opportunity arose, you were bonking like rabbits, but it’s hard to be spontaneous when there are more than two peoples’ timetables to consider and wee people's leering eyes peeping around every corner.

One of the most common bits of advice is to schedule time, but this is easier said than done because most women can’t just “turn it on” at a certain time. Men can become a pain in the arsky when you schedule a time for some romance and then their lover isn’t in the mood. They don’t understand that women can’t just get a hard on and go for it, and will be frustrated if they feel they have been promised something that then isn’t delivered.

One way to counteract this is to try getting into the mood by letting your imagination go wild before the anticipated event. Fantasy is a key part of foreplay and you can use your imagination at anytime. It also livens up the most boring tasks you end up having to do once you become a mother. Hanging out the washing whilst dreaming of what you and your lover will be getting up to later can turn a chore into a treat. This will also help you to ignore the temptation to get on top of all of the jobs you have been putting off rather than on top of your husband.

If you have small kids there is always the telly to “baby sit” them while you enjoy a quickie, but then you are listening with one ear for the pitter patter of feet down the hall or calls for "Muuuuuum!". This can be off putting, but as long as you have the door firmly shut and LOCKED and they are involved in their program you should be able to get away with it. Just make sure it is a quickie! It might be a good idea to use one of your quieter sex toys as it will be difficult to explain away the unusual sounds coming from mummy and daddy’s room!

However you organise or manage your time, make sure you don’t forget the importance of maintaining your sex life as it will solidify your and your partner’s relationship and you will both be stronger because of it.

Guys love being surprised with hot, urgent sex that doesn't always involve a long stretch of foreplay beforehand. They also love it when their partner initiates sex for a change as it makes them feel desired.

To keep sex exciting and unpredictable, plan a regular passionate quickie with him - and it doesn't have to be at home. Surprise him at the office or in the car. Take him for a walk in a forest or pop down to the beach without letting him know what's on your mind.

Get yourself excited and ready for sex. 

Think about what you're going to do to him and imagine how it's going to feel for you.  If you know what your arousal triggers are, use these.  Some favourite ones are looking at or reading porn, playing with sex toys, sending dirty emails or sexting telling him what you'd like to do to him or even phone sex.

When you have him right where you want him, make it passionate and urgent. Grab him, feel him up and let him see his favourite bits of you naked. 

Don't bother taking off all your clothes - just enough to allow access. Bite his neck, kiss passionately and deeply, writhe against him. Then just before he enters you, pull away.  

Lock your eyes on his, breathe hungrily, let his eyes run over your naked nipples, thighs and crotch and then slam your bodies together for a wild ride. 

Yeeeeehaaaw!
