5 Ways to Make Your Lust Last

5 Ways to Make Your Lust Last

By Laura Snyder

Much as we love hot, quick have-to-have-you-now nookie, the trend we'd really like to inspire is for more all-night marathon sex.

If you're all for jumping on that particular bandwagon, here are 5 ways to try tonight.

Make it Last Move #1: Prolong the Preliminaries.

Foreplay should almost certainly last longer than it takes to unzip your pants. If your usual carnal customs are a kiss here, a grope there and then moving right on to the main attraction, try letting a little expectation build with some extended foreplay.

Make it Last Move #2: Mix Up Your Moves

Marathon coupling means more time to try new positions. And you'll need those breaks in the action give your bodies the breather necessary to stay on simmer, instead of boiling over. So next time the finish line is fast approaching, stop and do something else. Halt mid-coitus for a little light massage or pause to lock eyes and share a sexy grin. Then resume. There's a bonus: taking a break from the action, you'll add to the anticipation, leading to a more explosive finale.

Make it Last Move #3: Tame the Tempo

It's a reality you know all too well. The more rapid-fire he's reacting, the faster he'll finish. Ladies, take the opportunity to control his acceleration, but either taking a more active pace-setting position (where you're in control), or steady his rhythm into slowing down.

Make it Last Move #4: Try More Touches

Every time you introduce a new sensation - a nibble, a tickle, a quick squeeze - you create a tiny climax-delaying pause while your body adjusts to the novel feeling. Make sure in your effort to last longer, guys, that you don't deliberately leave out your member. Trying to delay your orgasm by ignoring your equipment will backfire, since all that inattention will make you more reactive when you do get touched. So, get your girl to prep you for lasting action with some mild attention to that pleasure center.

Make it Last Move #5: Take Turns

Sex shouldn't be goal-oriented, so if you're focused too much on slowing him down, or speeding her up, change the pace a bit to relieve the performance pressure. Don't lose sight of the real goal...being together.
