A healthy sex life is very important for many aspects of our health but even further a healthy sex life also is a major factor in a healthy relationship. But what about foreplay? Is it a really important factor? We say absolutely. In male issues like erectile dysfunction and female sexual desire stemming from the brain, foreplay cannot be under appreciated. There has been much in the news about the female sex drug. But let's not forget important intimacy and foreplay sex tips. Here are 8 for you to try (maybe this week!)

1. Stare: Next time the moment is ahead, take a moment and pause to look deeply in your partners eyes. This can have a huge impact on your relationship. Even further, take a minute before you start fooling around to face each other and place your right hand over your partner's heart as he places his own hand over your heart. 

2. Think Happy Thoughts: Try closing your eyes and breathing deeply while thinking. If you picture yourself in a happy memory, you'll begin to feel the same joyful emotion and open-heartedness before sex. Your main sex organ is your brain so positive feelings like this carry over to the way you feel about your partner during sex and leave you more content with each other afterward. 

3. Start the foreplay while you’re at work: Sending a partner a sexy text message can give you a good head start on arousal.

4. Don't be afraid to share desires: Desire is a major player in foreplay and an overall healthy sex life. Sharing these desires and trying new things with your partner can open up an entire new avenue of pleasure. Just to repeat, rushing into the main event is not the key to a healthy sex life. Foreplay really matters in building up the best desire for both men and women. 

5. Cuddle: Not just for after sex, try cuddling before. Your relationship will benefit in the long run because it draws partners closer together before one of the most intimate moments their relationship has. 

6. You know avocados are good for your body, but turns out they’re also beneficial for your libido. They’re full of unsaturated fat and low in the saturated kind, so they’re great for your heart and arteries. In turn, that helps keep blood flowing to the right places.

7. Thrill-seeking activities such as watching a scary Netflix movie or going rock climbing can stimulate dopamine in the brain, and get your body revved for sex.

8 . Kegels can transform feeble orgasms into fabulous ones, Solot says. How they help: Kegels strengthen the pubococcygeus muscles, which contract during orgasm. If they’re stronger, you could have a more intense climax. How to do Kegels: Do 10 quick contractions, then another 10 and hold for 5 to 10 seconds each. Aim for two to three sets a day.
