3. Go to bed on time
We ain’t your momma telling you to go to bed and sleep. But if you don’t want your sex session to be a real quickie with no foreplay and excitement, then it is better that you move to your bedroom timely.

Have a nice conversation and take things forward. This way, sex can actually feel rewarding. Plus, you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep!

4. Limit your caffeine intake
Who would have thought, right? But, it is true that coffee isn’t good for your sex life. Basically, caffeine is a vasoconstrictor which means it negatively impacts the blood flow in your body.

According to a study published in PLOS One, if your male partner is having too much caffeine, you should look for some other alternatives for him as it can lead to erectile dysfunction. In the study, it has also been noted that letting go of caffeine-rich drinks brings about an improvement in the disorder.

5. Eat healthy food and avoid too much sugar
For a healthy sex life, it is important to have a healthy vagina. To maintain a safe biome, it is important that you include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet. This will keep the environment of your vulva healthy and keep you away from vaginal infections.

Too much sugar is not good for your vagina and it can make your vagina smell bad. A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology observes that too much sugar in your body can lead to recurring vaginal candidiasis which is a painful vaginal infection.

Yeah, it is this easy to rock your sex life! So, make these small changes and have a great time in bed.
