There are few things in existence more enjoyable than great sex, but that only makes it more frustrating when it's nothing special. It can also make sex very intimidating if you're inexperienced and don't know what is needed to give you and your partner the outstanding experience you're seeking. If you've got questions about how to get better in bed, don't worry, we've got everything you need to know to elevate your sexual encounters.

Communication is Key

The most important thing to remember about having sex with a partner is that you're taking part in a cooperative experience. Sex is always better when all parties are getting the pleasure and satisfaction they need and the best way to achieve that is to make sure that the lines of communication remain open throughout. While you may be able to determine what your partner is and is not liking from the way they react to your actions, you know how they're feeling if they feel comfortable enough to be vocal and let you know what they want.

On the flip side, you make it easier for your partner to make you happy when you're clear about what you want throughout. Everybody's body is different and reacts to stimulation in its own way. The more openly you and your partner are communicating the easier it is to make sure you're both getting the stimulation you need to feel your best.

Don't Fear Experimentation

Being open and letting your partner know what you want is important during sex, but it doesn't do you any good if you don't know what you love in the first place. Whether you're new to being sexually active or simply haven't experimented much in the bedroom, if you're unsure if you'll like something or not the best way to find out is to try. If you and your partner have a trusting relationship you can feel free to experiment with the knowledge that if either of you is uncomfortable with how things feel you can quickly put a stop to it. You may be surprised to learn some of the things that make you feel great once you've taken the time to reach outside your prior experiences.

Self Understanding Guides You

Experimenting with your partner is an excellent way to discover what your body does and doesn't love, but it's not the only way to get to know yourself better. Taking time to explore on your own feels good and helps you learn how to feel even better the next time you get in bed with your partner. Experimenting on your own can be less intimidating and may even make you feel comfortable trying new things which you'd be too embarrassed to try with a partner without having prior experience first. This self-experimentation is an important part of men and women's sexual health.

Set the Stage Early

Sex should be an enjoyable experience throughout the entire act, so you and your partner should not be in a rush to get to the main event. Take your time building tensions and giving each other pleasure so that you are at maximum excitement by the time you progress to having sex. Foreplay not only helps you to have better sex by building your excitement as you go, but it also feels great itself, so it lengthens the amount of time you are enjoying each other.

Foreplay isn't the only way you can prepare and build to better sex, however. You can begin setting the mood long before you're getting down to business. Sometimes making sex a part of a special occasion can take it to another level. Plan a nice dinner, and dress in sexy clothes which excite your partner and make you feel like you look great. These little touches can go a long way to making sex even better.

Look For Enhancement

One way to take the good times you're having in the bedroom and make them great is to look for enhancement opportunities. While the term sexual enhancement products may make you think solutions to performance problems, that's not the only reason people use enhancement products. Even if you're already having excellent sex, a product like Scream Cream, which heightens the sensation a woman feels during sex, can be used to make sex reach levels you didn't even know were possible. If you love what you're doing already, imagine how great it would feel if you felt it even more strongly.
