Just what is the secret of good sex?
That wild imagination of yours, of course… Here are 15 ways to make the earth move. Err, can we go home early please, boss?

1 Blindfolds are incredibly sexy props for role play – they take away your inhibitions and build up anticipation.

So, cover his eyes and tease him, big time. Keep on bringing him close to boiling point – let him penetrate you, then slip yourself off. Do this again and again – before finally allowing him to orgasm.

2 Is your elusive G-spot as tricky to find as a man who doesn’t leave wet towels and smelly socks on the bedroom floor?
Then get your hands on a curved vibrator – specially designed to help you find it – and rope your man into helping you on your voyage of discovery. Try sexpert Tracey Cox’s Supersex G-spot Orgasm Kit, £19.99 from www.traceycoxshop.com, and you’re sure to be right on target!

3 Does the thought of bondage fill you with about as much joy as a big, wet snog from Johnny Vegas?
Well, you might think differently after watching the film Secretary. The saucy scene where Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader engage in a spanking session was recently voted the sexiest big screen moment of all time. Want to have a go? We suggest you start with a spot of playful slapping before introducing props such as the back of a hairbrush. Make sure you keep the spanks light, telling your man to plead with you if he wants you to spank him any harder.

4 Write him saucy notes and leave them in unexpected places for him to find when you’re not together.
His wallet is a good place, or you could leave a message in his trouser pocket. Tell him what you’d be doing to him if you were with him right now, and let the tension build until you get the chance to carry out your promises. Trust us, it’s like dynamite!

5 Invest in some bullet vibes.
No, we haven’t gone all gangster on you – they’re like vibrators but smaller and less phallic – like bullets, funnily enough. What they lack in size, they make up for in vibration. Stimulate your sensitive bits, and his – they work wonders on the frenulum, which is the string-like part of the penis where the shaft and head meet.

6 Play time
Need to improve your foreplay? Get the Scrabble board out. Yes, really! Instead of showing off your language skills, only spell out sexual words, describing things you’d like to do to one another. Let’s hope he’s a cunning linguist!

7 Dress up for him.
Try wearing a wig – it’s the best way to transform yourself into a different character, preventing any embarrassment. If you still feel a bit restricted, maybe wear some specs to turn yourself into a saucy secretary. Glasses are great for ‘hiding’ behind. Keep clothing tight but comfortable and think leather, not lace, to create a more dominant persona. Then tie him up and have your wicked way with him – Miss Whiplash has got nothing on you!

8 Feeling more loved up than kinky?
Try out the ‘spoons’ position – perfect for slow, sensual lovemaking, or for sleepy sex when you wake up feeling passionate. You both lie on your sides, like when you’re cuddling up, and he enters from behind. This position is especially good if you are pregnant (or you have had a particularly large dinner) as it doesn’t put any excess pressure on your belly.

9 Find your A spot, a sensitive spot halfway between your G-spot and your cervix.
Get in a position where your feet are over his shoulders. Start by getting in to the missionary position (but do NOT stay there!) and once he’s penetrated you, he should sit up and bring both his legs forward, leaning back to support himself on his hands. You do the same but with your ankles on his shoulders and your hips lifted. Join the A-list!

10 Take horny goat weed.
Yes, really. It might sound like something to help our farmyard friends engage in the physical act of love, but it’s actually a fundamental part of ancient Chinese medicine. Extracted from a wild, leafy plant called Epimedium, it’s said to increase libido and improve erectile function. So offer him a healthy dose as well!

11 G it up with ginseng
If a fictional Marian Keyes romp seems more appealing than a real life one, boost your sexual appetite by taking ginseng. Scientific studies have proven that it increases energy levels and, more importantly, stimulates sexual function. And you can’t argue with that.

12 Are you one of the many women who can only climax through clitoral stimulation?
Don’t worry ­– you’re in the majority! A great position to maximise your chances of reaching orgasm without direct clitoral stimulation is the ‘swimming’ position. Lie on top of him with your legs atop his legs, and slide yourself up and down against him. It’s always a winner and you’ll both be screaming out for more.

13 Give a hand job an interesting twist – quite literally.
The frenulum, on the underside of his penis, is a sensitive spot – so add to your basic stroke by twisting your hand as you reach the point where the head meets the shaft.

14 They’re finger puppets, but not as we know them.
Experiment with a 5-in-1 finger vibe, which delivers five types of vibration to stimulate all of your erogenous zones, and his, too. Get yours from www.shhhlingerie.co.uk for £26.95.

15 Give him a sexy lap dance on the sofa.
Once he’s sufficiently hot and bothered, hop on, supporting yourself with your knees. Vary the sensations by turning around – and you’ll get much deeper penetration. You saucy minx!
