Try This 5-Day Sex Challenge to Recharge Your Love Life

Day 1:

You won't find any role play on this list, but you don't need it when you have your own sexual history together to revisit!

You and your lover have likely done some daring deeds in the past, so talk about them as foreplay (and spare no sexy detail). Decide which night of passion or wild act was your all-time favorite, then recreate it for a fun little trip down memory lane.

Not only will thinking about your sex life and the ahh-mazing feelings you've experienced help you become more aroused, you'll be able to remember and relive a time when you felt more sexually connected. Reigniting that spark is important if you're going to make it through all five days!

Day 2:

Let's get romantic and tantric! For this challenge, try to explore the art of tantric sex with your partner.

In traditional sex, orgasm is the clear goal and everything else is just extra. Tantra, though, brings spirituality to the act of love-making to help you boost the connection with your partner, joining your bodies and your emotions. For couples in a sexless marriage, this can work wonders.

To do this, you'll follow a series of steps that include setting the mood, naked cuddling, synced breathing and slow sexual movements. The tough (but super fun) part is that you'll try to resist climax to explore the other joys of sex. Luckily, though, the more you practice, the more of a 'prolonged orgasm' you can experience. Who wouldn't want to hit their sexual peak for minutes at a time?

Day 3:

Let's serve up some love on the rocks! For your third challenge, head to bed with a cup of ice cubes and lay a towel over your bedding.

One of you can begin foreplay by holding a single ice cube and tracing it over your partner's sensitive body parts. The earlobes, neck, chest, stomach and thighs are the perfect teases to start. From here, use the ice cube to initiate some more private play. A woman can place an ice chip in her mouth for oral action, and a guy can trace his lover's vulva with the ice cube.

This change in temperature creates a wild sensation that can put you both in the mood quickly, making it the perfect pre-sex ritual. (After the challenge is over, remember this trick if you have a low libido. It can help you stimulate your sensitive areas without painful penetration right off the bat.)

Day 4:

Feeling a little dirty four days in to this challenge? Get clean with a joint shower, but make sure you do it right.

Set the mood by lining the bathroom with candles, turning on some relaxing music and slipping out of your clothes. Keep your movements slow and sensual as you caress your partner's body. This is the perfect time to relax and unwind together in an intimate setting, and you can heat things up by massaging or washing your lover's body. If something feels good, speak up! Exploring these new heights require communication so you can be clear about what you want to continue in the future.

From here, you can either hop out for a sex session or have a romp in the water! If you're up for shower sex, check out these top standing positions for pleasure and your safety!

Day 5:

You're almost to the finish line! Celebrate a little early with a glass of the good stuff. Open a nice bottle of red wine to help you relax after a busy week and get a little tipsy with the one you love before your last rendezvous of the challenge.

Research shows that after a glass or two, you'll reach your peak pleasure point as your blood flow increases to your erogenous zones and your sexual desire heightens.

Once you realize what a magical love potion Cabernet can be, it'll be time to hit the sheets for some day five fun.

And that's it! Here's to a recharged sexual relationship and, perhaps, a day six of sex?
