Exercise can give your sex life a major boost

Trend #1: Improving orgasms with exercise
As well as keeping your body in tip-top condition, exercise can also work wonders on your sex life. It’s no coincidence that you often see couples working out together in the gym! According to recent research, 45 per cent of women say that regularly working out actually improves the strength and the duration of their orgasms. It’s believed that the same also happens to the fellas in our lives.

As well as giving you a better sex life, exercise will increase the amount of feel-good endorphins to your brain, meaning you’ll be happier. Also, your blood will get pumping meaning that you’ll experience increased sensitivity in the areas that matter.  

Why not experiment and get a naughty treat delivered to your door?

Trend #2: Getting experimental and going postal
According to the companies that provide these naughty packages, sales have skyrocketed since the year began. If you fancy a sexy surprise, get yourself online and check out one of the many companies that are cashing-in by creating sexy packages that are sent to your door.

All of the boxes are tailor made and you can order them depending on your mood. So if you’re feeling kinky, you can go for a bondage box, if you’re feeling romantic you can get a true love box etc.

Each package is crammed full of fun toys and sexy suggestions to help you and your partner break out of any routines you’ve developed in the bedroom. There are loads of companies offering this service online, simply do a Google search and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Would you share your relationship woes online?

Trend #3: Asking strangers for advice
Yes, believe it or not, thousands of women are flocking to the internet in order to ask for advice when it comes to their relationships and their love lives. 2013 has seen a lot of ‘advice-sharing’ websites spring up online.

For example, HeTexted.com is the place to go when you can't make sense of his texts. Simply post his message online and other women can help you decode what it means.

If you’re out of the dating game and coupled up, websites like CouplesSpark offer a forum where you can post something that you and your partner are arguing about and people can tell you who they agree with.

Want to deepen your connection? Try Tantra

Trend #4: Trying Tantra
Tantra was all the rage back in the day when Sting admitted it was something himself and his wife practiced on a regular basis. The buzz about it eventually died down, however this year it’s back again.

Tantra is all about prolonging the act of sex and increasing intimacy with your partner. According to experts, by simply rushing to orgasm we miss out on the amazing range of feeling that the build up actually offers us.

If you like slow, sensual love that really connects you with your other half then Tantra is definitely something you should try.
