Playing sex games for couples – This article by sexpert Laura Rose Halliday suggests that couples who regularly engage in novel activities, such as sex games, enjoy higher levels of sexual satisfaction than those who don’t.

Have sex without kissing your partner anywhere on their body – When your lips are taken out of the equation, you’ll have to find new ways to use your hands to pleasure each other. This is honestly the best advice one of my friends has ever given me. As soon as I stopped kissing him for the remainder of the episode, the night somehow turned into a hot erotic movie.
Spend the day completely naked — Watch TV together naked, eat together naked, cuddle naked — but don’t have sex until the very end of the night. This one might seem a little out there, but I promise it’s a lot of fun. As women, we LOVE to roam the different rooms and hallways in our homes in just our panties; but you’ll find when a man joins you in doing it, things are bound to get a little hot.
Have a toy marathon – Take out all the sex toys that you own and try to use every single one tonight. No exceptions, including huge butt plugs and other extreme anal toys. Sometimes what is lacking in your sex life and what could be turning your rut into a drought is the fact that missionary can get VERY boring. So, try switching it up, look up different positions that will work for you and your body type, and then break out those toys and get to playing. I promise, things are bound to get more interesting.

Start touching each other – Little moments of hot foreplay in random places can get both of you hot really fast. These could mean little passes of finger movements under a blanket while you're both sitting on the couch, gentle swipes while you're both walking by each other in an aisle, or even going out to dinner and touching each other underneath the table without anyone noticing. Just try to get your partner frazzled throughout the day, and when the time comes and you’ve got them alone, start ripping each other’s clothes off.
Sex doesn’t always need to be passionate lovemaking. Sometimes you just need a quickie or a sensual massage or something like mutual masturbation. Don’t wait until the end of the night for sex. Instead, have fun with it throughout the day.
