True Love|January 2017

A week is all you need to bring back THAT LONG-LOST SPARK. Happy great sex!

The Seven Day Booty Camp

If you and your man’s sex life were a person, what would he look like? A sexy hunk with a six pack, or gorgeous and curvy goddess? Or, will it resemble an old man who spends his time in front of the TV, watching soccer while he drinks beer? Can you even recall the day you wore sexy lingerie? Think it’s time for a change? Welcome to Sex Boot Camp. I’m your instructor, Corporal Punishment. For the next seven nights, I’m going to throw you into a series of uncomfortable positions. But when the programme is over, you’ll graduate erotically revived.

DAY 1: HAVE THE ‘AWKWARD’ TALK

It takes a tremendous amount of courage for two people to discuss frankly whether their sex life is failing, unrewarding or bland. “I first knew something was wrong when I started fantasising about a girl at work,” says Menzi, 32.

“My woman and I had been together for six years, and although everything else in the relationship was good, the sex was pretty average. Like a lot of guys, I thought I was a fairly good lover but it wasn’t until I asked Erica to tell me tactfully how I could up my game that I realised I had a lot to learn. Once we’d broken down the initial barriers, we found we could share a lot more of our desires without making the other person fail like a failure. It didn’t fix things overnight, but the ongoing process is proving pretty rewarding.”

The crucial components in having this chat are timing and tone. Don’t do it immediately after sex as the person who didn’t initiate the conversation will feel awful and impotent. Secondly, both parties need to acknowledge that if the situation is anybody’s fault, it’s both of them.
