MAKING babies used to be fun. But for so many couples desperate to conceive, nightly romps have become a joy-free zone, based on ovulation optimisation rather than pleasure, reports The Sun.
MAKING babies used to be fun. But for so many couples desperate to conceive, nightly romps have become a joy-free zone, based on ovulation optimisation rather than pleasure, reports The Sun.
Yet scientists are now saying that the best way to get pregnant is the old-fashioned approach - wild passionate sex like you had when you first dated.
Fertility experts are coining the term 'gourmet sex' - where both partners take the time to ensure the other has a satisfying experience - as the ultimate fertility treatment, says The Sun.
"The sex should be as wild and thrilling as it was when the couple first met, when they weren't thinking about babies, to give them the maximum possible chance of having a baby," said Dr Allan Pacey, secretary of the British Fertility Society.
An extra five minutes of foreplay before ejaculation can produce an extra 25 million sperm, according to experts, as reported in the The Sun.
The more excited sperm will also be of a higher standard, meaning there is a greater chance of the sperm and egg fusing to create a new life.
Here, sexpert and deputy editor of Scarlet Magazine, Laura Godman, gives us her top tips for sexual satisfaction that's good enough to eat.
"It might not sound sexy, but it's relationship first, sex second for best results.
"Number one is your confidence in sharing any fantasies and problems you have with each other - and your ability to do that in a respectful way.
"If you are secretly longing to try something between the sheets it will benefit you both if you can discuss - and potentially explore - the fantasy.
"Unleashing a fantasy can add a new dimension to your relationship and the novelty-factor can increase excitement and passion.
"The key is to encourage discussion with your lover on fantasies and never to ridicule a partner's fantasies.
"By getting into this habit you'll feel a lot more liberated in your relationship - even if you choose not to try out a fantasy.
"Also, over time, it's easy to take each other's good points for granted.
"No matter how long you've been together you should always make the time to compliment each other.
"Tell your partner how sexy he looks when he's just out of the shower, or how good he makes you feel when he gives you oral - it'll increase his confidence in the sack overall.
