The New Year is just around the corner. Have you already made your New Year’s resolution list?
Most people resolve to lose weight, save more money, exercise more, and eat more healthily. You most likely have the same goals for next year. But what about your sex life? You also deserve a better sex life.
Keep it fresh by trying out new things. We’ve listed some suggestions you can add to your sexual couple’s goals for the New Year.
New Year’s Resolution: The Top Sex Goals for This New Year
Here are 10 sexual goals you and your partner can add to your New Year’s resolution list.
1. Talk about sex more
Sex is not the most popular conversation topic, even among long-time couples. But when the new year starts, things have to change. If you want to have a better sex life, you and your partner need to talk about sex more. Talk about the things you like—and don’t like. It’s a good exercise in learning how to be honest with each other.
Your talk about sex doesn’t necessarily have to end in you having sex, although no one’s stopping you if you want to get it on.
2. Schedule date nights
Even if you and your partner have been together for a long time, you still need quality time. So make sure date nights are included in your New Year’s sexual relationship goals. A weekly date night with your love eating a hearty meal or playing a game of pool can help rekindle the fire between you.
3. Love your body
It’s normal to have hang-ups about one’s body, especially with mainstream media telling us what we should look like. But so what if you don’t have a six-pack or your bum’s too big? We all come in different shapes and sizes—and we are all beautiful in our own ways.
Be confident in your own skin when having sex with someone you like. After all, they’re having sex with you because they find you attractive. The faster you accept that, the more fulfilling your sexual experiences will be.
4. Try something new
Trying something new can help spice up your relationship. For example, if you’ve never tried playing with sex toys before, this is the perfect time to give it a try. And if you want to add excitement to your relationship, you can also try sexting.
5. Know what you like
It’s the New Year. The new you should know what you want and not be afraid to ask for it. Plus, it’s an excellent chance to experiment with your partner to see what turns each other on. If you like what your partner is doing, let them know. If not, you should still let them know. Be very vocal about your likes and dislikes.
6. Get tested more often
Knowing your status for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is very important. Don’t wait around for symptoms to appear, especially since many STIs have no symptoms. That means you may already be infected without knowing it. Get yourself tested as often as possible, especially if you have more than one partner.
7. Upgrade your lube
Even the smallest change can make a huge difference. For example, changing your lube can add new depth to sexual play because of the different sensations it offers. And to make oral sex tastier, you can also try coconut oil or flavored lubes. That’s totally up to you and your partner. Just remember not to use silicone-based lube with latex condoms.
8. Buy new lingerie
Feeling more confident should be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list. And the best way to fulfill this goal is to get yourself new lingerie. Get yourself something that makes you feel sexy. If your partner also likes it, then that’s a big bonus.
9. Show appreciation and affection more
As the new year starts, make sure to be more appreciative and affectionate toward your partner. Be more generous with your hugs and kisses—and see where it leads. Leaving love notes here and there is also a great way to show your affection. A little bit of public display of affection doesn’t hurt either. Holding hands, hugging, laughing, and kissing in public can be fun and sexy.
10. Be healthy
Our overall health can significantly affect our sexual health. When you’re always feeling tired, you’ll lack the energy to keep up with your partner inside the bedroom. Likewise, it’s really hard to think about sex when you’re experiencing a lot of pain.
Can you imagine having cramps in your pelvic area or suddenly feeling winded while thrusting in the throes of passion? Yikes! If you don’t take care of your body, such scenarios can happen. You can also develop more serious problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which can also affect your sex life.
The best way to avoid this is by keeping your body healthy. Eat right and exercise regularly. Sleep deprivation can also do a number on your health, so make sure to get enough sleep at night. Not having enough sleep is not good for your sex goals.
When you start taking care of your body, you’ll get to enjoy sex more.
Takeaway
Don’t take bad sex with you to the new year. You and your partner deserve a hot and satisfying sex life. Making this your top priority can help enrich and deepen your connection as a couple.
