As modern women we’re always told that when it comes to sex, we should be assertive and ask for what we want. This is definitely true and you should never be afraid to place your order when you hit the bedroom with himself.

However, did you know that one of the fastest ways to get yourself some satisfaction is to let go completely? It sounds counter-intuitive but believe it or not, sometimes the best sex you can have comes as a result of keeping quiet and allowing your man to take the lead.

If you’ve ever read a bodice-ripper novel, you’ll understand how hot it can be to sit back and let the man take the lead. There’s something sexy about submission and as long as you’re doing in a way that makes both you and your man feel comfortable, it’s one of the easiest ways to spice up your love life.

Letting him take charge has its perks...

Allowing your man to take the lead can be a major turn on for the following reasons:

1. You don’t have to do anything: The stress is taken away from sex. You don’t have to worry about when to switch positions, you don’t have to worry about if he’s enjoying it and you don’t have to think about what to do next – he’s in the driver’s seat so there’s nothing you can do except lie back and enjoy the ride.

2. It shows a massive element of trust: Letting go in bed and allowing your man to take charge can help to strengthen your connection with him. He’ll see that you trust him enough to allow him to have his way with you and he’ll probably pull out all the stops to show you how much this means to him.

3. He’ll get adventurous: The fact that you’re not telling him exactly what to do means that he’s more likely to try something new and unexpected. The fact that you have no idea what he’s going to do next will also add to your own excitement. Expect hotter sex and better orgasms.

4. It’s a little kinky: Sure it plays up to traditional gender stereotypes, but there is something sexy about letting your man take charge. Plus, it’s also good to know that you can pull rank and become the boss again if you really want to.
