How to have hotter sex

The truth is, though, you'd like to take your sex life to new levels of excitement, but are just too embarrassed to talk about it with your partner. So how can you become the embodiment of the phrase, "it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for?"

Try one of these "take me now" tactics tonight:

Hotter sex: What would Samantha do?

Fantasizing is more than just imagining a romp in the sand with Sawyer from LOST (you're a prude, but hey, you're still a woman!).

The next time your mind wanders, visualize a sexier you, too, and keep those images in mind when you get down to business. Before you know it, you'll be channeling "Sex and the City's" Samantha in the bedroom.

Hotter sex: Add some props

We're not talking about anything hardcore here (you'll work your way up to that!), but leaving on a pair of sexy black heels or blindfolding your guy with a silk scarf during sex can spice things up considerably.

Hotter sex: Sexy texting

After a long day of work deadlines, family madness and shopping lists, it's tempting to leave romance off of your to-do list. Of course, by sending a few "hint hint" text messages to your guy throughout the day, there will be no forgetting. And the more the anticipation builds, the quicker the clothes will come off – try this one and see!

Hotter sex: Change of scenery

You're a good girl, so you probably have most of your sex in the bedroom at what seems to be a regularly scheduled time.

Shake things up by greeting your guy in the buff when he gets home from work, or sneak into his morning shower. Spontaneity works wonders -- he (and you) won't be disappointed.

Hotter sex: Create a wishlist

You have no problem sharing your Amazon wishlist with others, yet when it comes to intimacy, you're super shy. Start by sharing one desire at a time ("I love it when you go slow…"), and add on as you go along. How else can you be sure you'll get what you really want?
