There’s nothing more sensual than running a deep, hot bath and slipping underneath a floating cloud of fragrant bubbles in flickering candlelight.

Imagine how much more steamy it could get if you invite a friend in with you? Rather than taking separate baths, why not invite your partner in for a dip? After all, enjoying some bathtime fun is an easy way to rekindle a sex life that is a little bit stuck in a rut.

Start proceedings with a glass of something decadent and bubbly – soon you’ll forget it’s a Wednesday night and you’re missing ‘Eastenders’. Then manoeuvre your partner around so that they are sitting with their back to you.

Lather up a nice bar of soap, some bath gel or oils and start to wash them all over, slowly. Don’t be shy about pressing your own body into your partner’s back as you reach forward to massage their arms and legs. Remember to kiss and nibble your partner’s neck all the while.

Take your time and just as they are about to melt, pull out the secret weapon – a vibrator. There’s no worry of electrocution, nowadays there is a vast range of waterproof vibrators available. While the temptation may be to head straight for the genitals, try to resist; there are plenty of other exquisite erogenous zones that can be explored.

After the massage, your partner’s skin will be far more sensitive than usual, try passing the vibrator over the forearms on the inside or down the side of their body. Next, run the pulsating device up and along the inner thighs or over the nipples. Tease your partner, but avoid actual penetration in the water.

Instead, dry off together in a big, fluffy towel, maintain lots of kissing and take the vibrator with you to the bedroom for a night of very clean, but downright dirty, passion that your partner will never forget!

Next time it’ll be your turn!
