If you’ve been with your partner for a while, there may be a need to switch things up a bit. Do you both know the locations of every mole and childhood scar? Do you know how to bring her to orgasm in three easy steps? Do you incorporate those three steps every… single… time? (I have a friend who calls that “using the cheat codes.”)

If you know things are getting dry, there are options. If there weren’t, I wouldn’t write about it every week! You could always try a different position. You could introduce toys. You could watch porn together, even fantasize about adding a third to the party. (I say fantasize because, really, just don’t do that. It’s one of those things that seems like a good idea but never is. Starting out in an open relationship? Fine. Throupling up for spice? Someone’s gonna be left in the cold.) But there are subtle ways, too — and I’ve got one that’s easy, free, and fun. All you need is your mouth and a little bit of creativity.

Dirty talk. That’s it. That’s the tip.
