Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and while love may be in the air, it’s the perfect time to turn up the heat in the bedroom.

Hook-up app Tapdat’s Creative Director Alice Leach has revealed her top tips to spice up your sex life this Valentine’s Day, putting pleasure at the top of your gift list.

Alice from TapDat says: “With news, social media and shops overflowing with romance, sex, and pleasure, the Valentine’s hype can have a wonderful effect on everyone’s libidos.”

“With so much socially acceptable focus on pleasure and connection, you may find that your own thoughts about pleasure increase. Wrap up an exciting new sex toy, introduce a new role play or kink idea in a card or love note, send each other links to erotica, or buy yourself something spicy to wear to bed.”

TapDat Alice’s spicy suggestions:

The gift of sexual confidence
“Use this romantic season to up your confidence in the bedroom. From clearly expressing your likes, to trying something new or giving your partner a show (think striptease or have them watch you pleasure yourself), bringing some extra swagger to your sensual experiences can increase the pleasure for you both.”

Learn about pleasure
“Still not sure where the clit is? A little uneasy about what to do with the balls? Not 100% confident in your spanking abilities? The more you know, the better things get. Take time to learn about your body, your partner’s body and anatomy, and the general pleasure principles.”

Have MORE sex
“Life can be busy, stressful, and generally a bit overwhelming, and often our sex lives take a back seat. This Valentine’s Day put pleasure on the agenda. Increasing masturbation or partnered pleasure is the gift we all need. Kickstarting your sexual routine increases the likelihood of more sex going forward, what’s not to love about that?”
