Bedroom confidence is something that eludes many women and indeed men. However, when you consider that intimacy is a human need, it makes for a sad fact. So what can you do? For a better time in bed, here are some easy suggestions to elevate passionate partnerships.
Dress for the Occasion
How you look and feel plays a massive role in the confidence you exude with romantic partners. For men, it can be as simple as working out a little beforehand and freshening up. However, women may have to work a little harder. Fortunately, male and female partners alike are usually easy to please, and you can feel like the queen of the room with stunning lingerie and bedwear. From silky PJs to luscious lace, the right outfit in the bedroom elevates your self-esteem.
A Little Bit of Grooming
Of course, being passionate means getting closer to people than we usually do. The nakedness, for lack of a better word, exposes us more than some are comfortable with. So, it makes perfect sense to be as hygienic as possible. Showering, shaving, and brushing your teeth before being intimate with someone will ease a lot of the stress of worrying about the small things. And it goes without saying that you should always ensure your intimate area is clean!
Bedroom Confidence and Body Image
A survey by Bare Marriage found that only around 15% of women feel an emotional connection when being intimate in bed. One of the most cited worries for women, and of course, men, is body image. There is a lot of pressure to conform to beauty standards these days. Yet we are all different. You are you, and if someone you are with doesn’t respect that, they don’t deserve you! Confidence in the bedroom doesn’t come until you learn to love the person staring back at you.
Do What You Both Enjoy
Okay, so intimacy isn’t all about sex. But sex plays a crucial role in any relationship. Everyone is different, and we all have things we enjoy and things we don’t. So what’s the deal? There needs to be some sort of compromise when it comes to what you do with each other. But it should always be equal and enjoyable. Otherwise, you are just being used. If your partner enjoys sex but you prefer cuddles, it is up to you what happens. You can always cuddle in bed afterward!
Make Plans to Look Forward To
There are some who say spontaneity keeps a marriage alive. But do any of us really have the time for unplanned anything after a certain age? There’s no reason you can’t plan your intimate time. In fact, this can be a major advantage. When you plan intimacy, such as every Friday night, you have something to look forward to. You can ensure you are prepared and groomed beforehand. Additionally, it releases you from the anxiety of unexpected and awkward surprises.
Summary
Dressing for intimacy, such as with lingerie, can be a massive boost to bedroom confidence with a loved one. However, you can’t expect results if you don’t see yourself in a good light. Making plans is an excellent way to prepare for regular intimacy and avoid the anxiety of the unknown!
