Ban bedroom baby talk In the second loved-up month of your duo, it might've seemed cute to name his penis Mr Winkle, but when you've been together a while, pet names can become the least sexy thing. Don't ditch them though-just ban them from the bedroom. Rekindling first-time sex is about a time sex is about animal passion, not 'snuffle-bunnies'.

Relax... We're all busy women and when we're with Mr Long-Term, sleep often takes priority over sex. So, make special time for each other-whether it's a trip back to the place you spent a dirty weekend or going for a massage together. Remember, if you want the passion back, you must learn to be more laid-back.

Indulge those fantasies Remember that episode of Friends where Rachel dresses up as Ross' teen crush, Princess Leia? Well, you don't have to head to the fancy-dress shop to have the same effect on your man. Now you've reminded each other what your turn-ons are, try something to get your adrenalin going, such as alfresco sex. After all, the only thing more arousing than having someone do whatever you ask is watching your partner getting really excited-and knowing you've made them feel that way.

Play Sex Q & A All too often, couples take it for granted that they know what each other's turn-ons are, so ask each other sex questions over a bottle of wine, whether or not you think you know the answers. Try: 'What's your most erogenous zone?' or 'What position would you really like to have sex in?' You'll either discover lots of new things about each other, or remember things you've simply forgotten.

Does 'That Night' seem like a lifetime ago? Here's how to make it feel like the first time-all over again.
Try the four-week plan We all want what we can't have, so introduce a little celibacy into your sex life to really heat it up. The first week, you can only kiss each other, the second, only touch. By week three, you can have oral sex, and by week four, you'll be so frustrated, the sex you finally allow yourselves to have will be mind-blowing. If self-control's not your virtue, you can still break your routine. If you always have sex at night, set your alarm for 7 a.m. or ban your faithful old position for a week.
