Before you go out and buy every piece of lingerie and every pair of furry handcuffs known to man, sit down with your partner and talk about how you're feeling. It might be cliché to say that communication is everything, but when it comes to solving the sexual stagnancy in your relationship, it's paramount that your partner knows exactly how you're feeling.

Together, you might be able to find something you're both willing to try.

Alternatively, you can try having sex in a new place. If your bonking normally takes place in the bedroom, why not try standing sex in the shower or against the kitchen counter?
