Make sure to also admit this to your partner if you are in a relationship.  A happy sex life is a team effort, and you won't be able to move forward in deriving what you want from your sex life if you and your partner aren't on the same page.  If you are single, you can have a conversation with yourself that you record on a voice note on your phone, via a video you film of yourself, or document your feelings in a journal.  If you don't journal at all, now would be a great time to start.  If you don't know how to begin a journal for yourself, checking out this article on how to do just that.

Do you want to have more orgasms? Do you want to take more exotic trips? Do you want to build a larger collection of sex toys? Perhaps you want to have group sex with other like minded people or experience intimacy with the same sex.  Ask yourself the question: "What do I want to experience in my sex life" and make a note of whatever comes to mind.  If you haven't the slightest clue about what you want, it's time to do some research.

3. DO SOME SEXY RESEARCH

Make the time to do a quick google search of the things you're interested in. The internet is filled with sources of information on sex toys, sex acts, sexy get aways and the like.  Beyond taking the your search to the internet, find places in your city that can advocate for your sexual exploration.  Lingerie shops, sex stores, adult clubs, strip clubs, nudist groups, BDSM Clubs, sex positive meet up and more are available to you wherever you live. Have fun discovering new ways to cater to your sexuality and uncovering new things about yourself.

The only way to improve of your sex life is to put in work! You have to make time to incorporate erotic play into your daily life. Remembering that sex is about exploring intimacy and play is essential to your improvement. Sex isn't just about reaching an orgasm and feeling good.  It's also about feeling empowered in your choices as a sensual being and connecting to all of life's pleasures.  Schedule time for yourself or for you and your partner to connect intimately within the things you've pinpointed as interests.  The time you schedule can be as little as 10 minutes or as much as 3 hours.  However much time you feel you need to completely explore your desires without stress or strain, SCHEDULE IT! No one is going to advocate for your pleasure, so it's your responsibility to make it so.

5. REMAIN COMMITTED TO SEXUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Your sexual preferences and desires will change as you continue to grow and go throughout life. Make a commitment to remain conscious about where you are in your sexual journey, and check in with yourself often.  You can prevent yourself from falling back into a rut by keeping your sexual needs within the forefront of your consciousness.
