"It's hard enough to talk about sex when you're in the middle of making love," says Dr. Lissa Rankin. "Instead, discuss positions you'd like to try, things you like, things you don't like, while you're in a relaxed setting to take any judgment out of the conversation."

#2. Plan to get busy

Dirty talkScared (but intrigued) to talk dirty in the bedroom? We chatted with Dana Myers, founder of Booty Parlor, about tips and tricks for speaking up.

#1. Ask for what you want
A lot of ladies are afraid to keep their lover informed about what's working. "Translate what feels good and what's going to bring you satisfaction into words," says Myers.

#2. Whisper
If long, descriptive sentences are too intimidating for you to even think of uttering, just whisper. "The heat of your breath and a few sultry words is incredibly scintillating," Myers tells us.

#3. Bring it outside the bedroom
Try getting saucy even when you have clothes on (on a walk or while you're cooking dinner). "When you use it as foreplay completely out of the bedroom, it's fun and saucy and gets mental stimulation going on during the day," says Myers. "It's important for women to think about sex outside the bedroom so by the time you get in there, you're warmed up a bit."

#2: Avoid sweet liquids.
Research shows that the more soda, juice, or mocha lattes you drink, the hungrier you get. You're also ingesting more sugar than you realize.

#3: Try bean sprouts.

#5: Eat in Slow Motion
If you're a speed-eater, think twice. A study from the University of Rhode Island showed that women who ate their lunch over the course of 30 minutes consumed fewer calories than those who ate theirs in under ten.

#6: Have it on the Side

Forget a blush-worthy trip to a "specialty" shop. Spicing up your marriage can be as easy as a trip to the local corner store.
