How to Broaden Your Sexual Horizons

Do you feel like you’re stuck in a sexual rut? Maybe you are getting tired of the same old routine every time you get intimate with a partner or even with yourself. Often we find we like what we like and nothing else will scratch that itch quite the same way, but in some ways, it also loses its pazazz over time. If this sounds at all familiar then don’t worry, it’s all totally normal and easy enough to break free of.

This article will go through ways in which you can try and motivate yourself to try new things and broaden your sexual horizons, whether that might be with a long-term partner, a casual sexual acquaintance, or even by yourself.

Break taboos and follow sexual trends

The easiest way to spice things up is to break a taboo. Of course these days you might be hard-pressed to find something that is truly considered taboo. Anything goes between two consenting adults, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things that you might previously have considered off the table. Maybe BDSM is something you’ve never considered seriously, or perhaps a same-sex encounter would rock your boat just the right way, or maybe you want to try and jump on the latest trend in the sexual world.

Foot-play has been getting more attention in media and in the broader culture and there are more and more opportunities to engage with it. Maybe you can try some foot play with a partner and if that doesn’t satisfy you or you aren’t sure exactly what to do with their feet you can visit LoveHerFeet for more ideas on foot-related sexual play. As long as you are making sure that everyone involved in your taboo-breaking experiments is consenting and comfortable, then you should feel free to explore whatever sexual avenue you might wish.

Give in to fantasies

A classic way of spicing up the bedroom and broadening the sexual landscape is the exploration of fantasies. “I’ve always wanted to…” can be a great way to start a conversation about whatever might lurk in your subconscious. If you lay it out in the right way with a loving partner you’ll likely be exploring your fantasy sooner rather than later. Even if it doesn’t quite go the way you imagine, you’ll have a new sexual experience to add to your repertoire.

Build sexual confidence

Sexual confidence is all about knowing what you want, what you like and what your limits are. It’s also about loving yourself and being comfortable. Confidence isn’t just attractive when it comes to personality and conversation, it’s also attractive when it comes to being intimate. That doesn’t mean you can’t show vulnerability or explore new experiences that might be unknown to you, but it’s all about how you approach those things. If you understand your own wants and desires and are able to confidently communicate those with your partner, you’ll have a much better time.

Incorporate different sensations in play

There are many ways to experience sexual play, and some of them involve playing with the way things feel and how we feel something like we do with pantyhose. Specifically, temperature is an easy place to start with this. Using ice, wax, or oils can lead to new and exciting sensations of sexual feeling that might be just what the doctor ordered. Blindfolds and other methods of sensory deprivation could also be a winner. By going all-in on the sensations that you feel you can experience a different variety of pleasures.

What is play without toys?

Of course, sex toys should be on the menu. There are toys for every sort of act you can imagine, and probably for a good deal you can’t. Whatever it is that you might want to try, you can probably find a silicone or rubber toy that will heighten the experience or fill the niche. It’s probably better to start with simple toys like vibrators and gradually move to more advanced items. Always properly clean and store your toys, and don’t forget to be gentle with yourself and your partner when using them.

Broaden your sexual relationships

Maybe it isn’t so much about the act, but more about who you’re doing them with? These days there are all sorts of sexual relationships that are popular you can attempt to form with people. The most important thing to remember is that a sexual relationship should be built on openness and trust, as long as you and your partner (or partners) are all on the same page, then anything goes. Consent and communication should be your watchwords.

Hopefully, you have a bit better idea of how to broaden your sexual horizons after reading this. The key things to always remember when it comes to sexuality is that consent, communication, respect and love should be uppermost in your mind when dealing with others. With those things in mind, anything you try can at worst, give you a funny memory to share.
