30 Sex Boosters
by Molly Triffin

These tiny variations on typical mattress moves have big bag. Prepare to peel him off the ceiling.

Savoring a scoop of rich ice cream is clearly a delicious treat. But what if you topped off the dessert with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, plus a cherry—wouldn’t it taste that much better? The same holds true for sex: While nooky feels great no matter what, adding a twist can make it more mind-blowing. “Our nerve endings and brain cells are dulled by routine,” says Olivia St. Claire, author of 302 Advanced Techniques for Driving a Man Wild in Bed.

That’s why you have to keep your (and his) body stimulated by weaving in new maneuvers before, during, and after sex. “Just one surprising touch can instantly re-energize your senses,” explains St. Claire. Whip out these small yet powerful tweaks to intensify and extend pleasure… and then have a blast coming up with your own.

Cold

– Slowly lick each of his nipples and then blow air on them

– Instead of regular standing sex, do it in the kitchen in front of an open freezer. The chilly sensation on your naked back juxtaposed with the warmth of his body will give you a rush.

– Pop two damp washcloths in the fridge presex. When you’re all hot and sweaty afterward, drape them over each other’s skin for a cooldown.

Hot

– During foreplay, rub your hands together briskly for several seconds to heat them up, and then massage his thighs in gentle circles. Your hot palms will loosen up his muscles…and turn him on.

– While you’re both naked before doing the deed, lie on your back in bed, pull up the sheet, and let him grind you with just the thin piece of cloth separating you. It traps body heat and will make you want each other unbelievably bad.

– After sex, lead him into the shower and let the warm water spill over you. Post-orgasm, your skin is very sensitive, so the pressure of the H?O is electrifying.

Yummy

– Slip a candy necklace on your upper thigh for him to nibble.

– Have him put a spoonful of vanilla pudding on your breasts and suck it off. The cool, creamy texture—followed by his soft tongue—feels awesome.

– Play X Marks the Spot: Using icing, draw crosses over each others’ erogenous zones (necks, lower abs, etc.), and take turns licking them off.

Tingly

– While making out, run your fingers through his hair and gently tug the roots (if his hair is thick) or scratch his scalp. Kiss him harder at the same time.

– Grab your hairbrush while he’s lying on his back during foreplay and lightly swirl the bristles across the sides of his torso, where his skin is supersensitive.

– Ask him to trace his tongue over your thin-skinned spots: wrists, inner knees, behind your ears. It’ll make you shiver.

– When you’re on top during sex, lean back and run your fingernails lightly across his V zone (V-shaped area where his hips meet his abs), sending feel-good chills throughout his body.

– Once things are really getting hot, give his butt a fast, firm slap.

Visual

– While standing with your back against his chest, as him to reach around and touch you so that all you can see are his hands—totally sexy.

– Rotate from girl-on-top position into reverse cowgirl (take your time). Not only are you hitting a series of new hot spots for both of you with each different angle, but he’ll dig the 360-degree view of your bod.

– During sitting sex, curl your legs around his butt and have him do the same to you. Then ask him to slide his hands beneath your tush and lift you rhythmically up and down. It rocks because you’re incredibly close—you’re eye to eye, and you can wrap your arms around his torso and hug him, feeling his hot breath on your neck. Plus, the pressure of his palms is spectacular.

– When you get out of bed following nooky, stand in his line of sight as you pull your underwear on slowly.

– Wear only a fabulous/sparkly necklace during a hookup—it draws attention to your breasts and makes sex just a little bit more dramatic.

Intense

– Each of you wear headphones and listen to hot tracks while getting busy—it’s like you’re in two worlds at once.

– During scissor-sex, lift the thigh of your top leg with your top hand and extend it upward away from your body, so your hips open. The wide-legged position gives him space to enter more deeply, while accessing a slew of bliss zones.

– As he’s pleasuring you down there, have him slip his hands under his butt and gently knead. Being stimulated from both sides enhances the sensation.

– A few seconds after he’s climaxed, veeery gently squeeze his boys—it’ll give him a second, smaller aftershock orgasm. (Because guys’ bodies are supersensitive postorgasm, lightly caress his testicles first to see how he responds.)

– You know the ridge that runs straight down the center of the underside of his member? Locate the tiny patch of loose skin at the bottom of the ridge, and gently pull downward while giving him oral so that his skin gets taut. Not only does he feel dominated by you, but every touch is magnified because the stretched skin is thinner and thus more tender.

– While he’s sitting upright in bed with his back against the headboard, stand above him so that you’re facing him with your feet on either side of his legs as he satisfies you. Standing, rather than reclining, boosts blood flow down there and makes you feel sexily in command. (Hint: Lean your hands on the wall for support.) Bend your knees, if need be.

Slow Burn

– While he rubs your temples, let one of your hands travel south of your border for a dual burst of pleasure.

– During foreplay, guide his hands to lightly swirl a fingertip over your breasts, beginning with large circles around the entire area and gradually working up to the nipple.

– Partway through oral, let your hands tantalize his manhood while you focus on the boys. Then switch back after a minute or two. Constantly changing the type of stimulation keeps him excited.

– Instead of moving your hips backward and forward while in doggie position, sway them from side to side slightly, hitting scores of new nerve endings.

– During girl-on-top, pause for a few seconds and clench your legs, butt, and abs. Only let him inside halfway for several thrusts before releasing your muscles and meshing completely. Because your nerve-packed G-spot is in the first third of your vaginal canal, lingering here preps you for a strong orgasm.
