10 Tips to Become a Better Lover

For many people, sex is an important part of a romantic relationship, whether you've been with your partner for a few months or a few decades.

But sex is also a personal relationship, too—one that can come with a lifetime of past experiences, insecurity, trauma, and anxiety, making it difficult to truly relax and enjoy each intimate encounter with someone else.

If you're worried about your own sexual prowess, you might be silently wondering whether your partner is satisfied or even enjoying your time together. It's extremely easy—and totally normal—to get caught up in your own mind about the intricacies of sex both in the heat of the moment and outside the bedroom.

After all, there are few things more vulnerable than when you're having sex with someone, and we all carry with us a history and deeply ingrained beliefs about how the experience "should" go or how things "should" feel.

When it comes to stepping up your sex game, you might worry that you'll have to try Olympic-level acrobatic moves or embark on a marathon bedroom session that leaves you feeling wiped for your partner to have a fun time. This isn’t the case. Click "I Want This" for 10 Tips to Become a Better Lover.
