5 ways to boost your sexual confidence

Here's how you can boost your confidence

Sex is fun only when both partners feel confident in each other's presence. If either of you has inhibitions, you will hold back that energy in bed. There is no fun and it can literally be a buzzkill. So, to boost your sexual confidence, here are 5 tried and tested ways that may help.

2/6

Stop feeling the “shame”

Being too aware of your body and those marks here and there or that cellulite never affect the sex. In fact, if someone is noticing these things and making you feel bad about how your body looks then he/she should not be the one in your bed any way. If you do not love yourself, how can you expect the other to do that? Accept how you look because sex is all about positivity for the best experience.

3/6

Let them know you want it

That time to be coy is gone! In fact, even in the era of being coy, we had flowers meeting, lyrics of some questionable yet very famous songs doing the talking for us. Today you can and you must bring all that into practice in a classy way- be direct! If you want to have sex with your partner, then let them know and be straight forward. You will be shocked as to how much he/she wanted you to say it. Be open about how you feel. If you have inhibitions, discuss them. You feel your dark inner thighs will look bad, tell them that this is how you feel and if he/she has issues with that, you know who is in the wrong!

4/6

Lights

Who says sex has to be done in pitch dark or in a well lit place? You can dim the lights too. Light a candle or two. This is a trick which has helped many people with low confidence issues.

5/6

Music please

Music is the best at any given moment. When it comes to sex, it can break ice, set the mood, determine the flow of all that sexual energy as well. It lifts up your spirits. Play some background music that you love and watch the confidence grow three fold.

6/6

Prep before sex

To shed all inhibitions, deal with the sex fears, talk it all out. Do you have fantasies? Let your partner know. Do you have some creepy or very funny habits? Tell them, so that you both know what page you are on. This will help both of you relax.
