Christmas may have been and gone for another year, but that doesn't mean you have to spend from now until everyone goes back to their usual routine eating leftovers or watching festive repeats. Use this free time to fire up your sex life and get your spark back in between the sheets for the new year ahead. Here's what to do...

1 Try sexting

If you think you're too old for sexting (sending sexy texts) think again. Your smartphone can add sizzle to your sex life by injecting some much-needed fun, no matter how long you've been in a relationship. The best bit? All you need is a Wi-Fi signal and a little creative thinking. 'Never underestimate the power of a suggestive text,' says Cecilia Sharp, sex expert at Lovehoney. The content doesn't have to be X-rated, either. If being explicit isn't your thing, simply telling your partner that you can't wait to see them can be a turn-on. 'Plus, photos can be a big mood-builder, and you don't need to be nude,' adds Cecilia.
