A sex and relationship expert has revealed her top seven tips for enhancing your most intimate moments, including making fantasies and feeling sexy a priority.
In conversation with FEMAIL Christine Rafeca Sydney-based sex therapist with ten years of experience said women can improve the quality of their love lives by completing her seven favorite tasks every day.
She revealed that within a week, women should notice a difference in themselves — and then be able to “pick and choose” which activities they enjoy most.
“They don’t require a great deal of commitment, but with continued practice of any or all of these, you’ll build skills that can improve your overall sexual health and satisfaction,” she said.
The first thing is Christine, who also works with the popular sex toy brand womanizerrecommends that women take about two minutes to “focus on their senses.”
This can be incorporated into your daily routine and, according to the expert, is the perfect exercise to do in the morning when applying moisturizer.
“Give yourself a slow, sensual massage as you rub the moisturizer into your face and/or body. While not overtly sexual, conscious awareness of our senses is the key to sexual arousal and pleasure.
Building your confidence is also important and can be accomplished quite easily.
The first thing Christine recommends is that women take about two minutes every morning to “focus on their senses.”
“Name three things you celebrate in yourself and say them out loud to yourself,” she said.
“If it feels right to you, think about what makes you sexy, or find three things in yourself that you’re grateful for.”
These “positives” can relate to your style, personality or appearance.
“Negative chatter and low self-esteem are indicators of low sexual satisfaction, so start practicing self-esteem.”
It’s also important to let yourself fantasize, says Christine, who wants to remind women that their brains are their largest sex organ.
She added that people can shut down their fantasies because they feel uncomfortable or because it’s not the right time.
But this only works to “stifle your sexuality.”
“Allowing fantasy and space for sexual thoughts is a game-changer when it comes to increasing desire,” she said.
“When you’re on the bus, waiting for your coffee, or taking a shower, give yourself permission to think about enjoying a past sexual experience, or let your imagination run wild with something you really want.” gets excited about it.’
It’s also important to determine what sexually relevant thing you “would like more” according to Christine, a tip that’s just as important for couples as it is for singles.
‘This can be more lovemaking with your partner, more physical touch, more’ pleasureor flirt more,” she said.
Christine also advises people to “do something you want to say to a sexual partner that can make intimacy and sex even better for you.”
“Identifying and practicing what we want to say to someone is so helpful in building confidence to actually say it! Write it down, say it out loud to yourself, in the mirror,’ she said.

She also recommends putting on sexy underwear, putting on a sexy song, or doing a sexy dance when no one is around.
“You’re only performing for yourself, so allow yourself to move, touch, wave your hair, or do anything that feels sexy to you at the time,” she said.
Her final tip is to prioritize self-pleasure, and note that it can be as quick or long-winded as you want — as long as it has your full focus.
She says some sex toys, including those in the Womanizer range, can “get the job done in a minute,” while other people may prefer a longer, drawn-out experience.
