Here’s the scenario: He’s in the mood for love, but no matter how hard you try, you just don’t feel the same. While he’s thinking about how great it feels to be in your arms, you’re busy mentally obsessing over things like unwanted pounds, how your hair or maekup looks and if there’s still the stench of garlic on your breath. Put simply, you just don’t feel sexy. Enough of that! It’s time to love yourself, on your good and bad days, and to stop overthinking things. That’s all small stuff, and if he’s right there with you, it’s because he wants to be. And, that should make you feel sexier than ever.

For some women, it’s not enough to just be good at sex. They need to be told they’re awesome too. Are you guilty of craving constant compliments from your partner when you're together between the sheets? There’s nothing wrong with wanting praise, but remember that demanding it every time you’re intimate with your lover could spoil the mood. Just think about it: How would you feel if the tables were turned? Be secure in your abilities and just relax and enjoy the moment.
Laughing your way through sex can only mean one thing: You’re feeling insecure, and that’s how you feel you can lighten the mood. Getting intimate is meant to be a good time, for sure, but it’s not something your partner should feel like you don’t take seriously. Address your insecurities head on before the clothes come off, so you can focus when it’s time to hit the sack.
