Most of the time we are so busy that foreplay can feel like another task. Believe it or not, there are some pretty simple ways to be turned on without even touching. The hardest part is remembering to make them a priority and a part of your routine. It will depend on how often you’ll want sparks to fly in the bedroom!

I love you is expected. Saying I like you makes her feel like she’s with her best friend and you enjoy her companionship.
Invite him out to lunch. Pick him up instead of meeting him. It shows that you’re going the extra mile to show how much you care.
Smile when she walks into the room. This makes her feel like you’re happy to see her, you’re still attracted to her and missed your time apart, whether short or long.
Offer him a compliment just before he leaves for work. It makes him feel confident about how he looks. Opinions matter in relationships when referencing to attire.
Watch a film on your laptop with her, this is a great time to reconnect after a busy afternoon or week. The closeness and silence speak volumes.
Compete with him in an outdoor activity and be very competitive. Your endurance reminds him of your strength and power.

When you go on a business trip, bring her something back. She’ll be happy you thought of her although you had a busy schedule.
When out with your girlfriends, send him a sweet text saying when you’ll be returning. Then return a few minutes earlier. It shows him that you value your time together.
Say something nice about her in a group. It shows you’re not afraid to show how much you love her in front of friends or family.
This one may be a little tricky because ego may get in the way a little. Fix something he said he would get around to. I’ve been told this makes them feel proud of you for getting it done and knocking something off of the to-do list.
Plan a dinner date with her and take care of everything including the kids. This shows her that you understand and acknowledge that she needs some down time.
Learn to make his favorite mixed drink. He’ll request it from time to time. The rest is history!
Randomly play one of her favorite songs while relaxing at home. She’ll appreciate you for paying attention to what she likes.
Wear his team gear during the season. Trust me; he’ll love to see you supporting him and his team. No matter what the results are for the team, you’ll always win!

All of these acts are playfully seductive. It is important to take the time to give each other what you want before the bedroom. It will give you more time and energy to focus on each other’s needs in the bedroom where positive energy will flow through you awakening romance and passion. Feelings are recognized, and thoughts are forgotten because there is nothing left to be said.

While all these things are great to do in your relationship, they are not foreplay! Foreplay refers specifically to the sexual activity leading up to intercourse. The items on this list are the small intimacies of being in a loving relationship that affect the emotional closeness than the sexual one.
Daria, Thanks for your comment! I’ve been married for a little over 20 years now. Every one of these acts have made great sense for me in the bedroom. All of these brings closeness, physically as well as emotionally. The closer I feel to my husband emotionally increases desire for him sexually.

Some things work for some people that may not be as attractive to others. Fortunately, I don’t have… Read more »
Rashika Roberts- What you said was what I said.
Thank you for including tips for both men and women. Most articles focus on just men, or just women, and it’s nice to be reminded that we are all in this together.
Thank you! I agree. Thriving and healthy relationships takes two. Besides, it’s a heck of a lot more interesting and less stressful when you’re both all in!
I really enjoyed reading your column.
